Chapter 420
Eleanor looked at Bernard with shock, seemingly unable to believe what he just said.
With a frown and disbelief in her eyes, she said, “Bemand, you don’t really love me, why would you…”
Bernard cut her off, “Eleanor, do I need to rip my heart out to prove to you that I truly love you?”
Eleanor thought back to the times when he risked everything to save her, to take care of her. Was all those out of love?
But it’s also true that once he had her he became indifferent. After what happened last night, Eleanor felt that he was just in the passionate pursuit phase.
But regardless of what stage he was in, they were not right for each other, there was no need to continue this entanglement.
Eleanor pushed him away, took out two bank cards that he had given her before, and handed them back to Bernard
“Here, take them back.”
Seeing those cards, Bernard’s eyes filled with pain instantly, as if his whole body was frozen.
He knelt down on one knee in front of her, even though the gesture was humble, he still looked cold and noble.
He reached cut to touch Eleanor’s face again, but she dodged his hand before he could touch her.
A desperate smile slowly spread across Bernard’s face, “Eleanor, what have I been to you all this time?”
Eleanor coldly stared back at him, “Just a fling, why did you take it so seriously?”
She didn’t give him any hope, she looked like the grim reaper straight out of hell.
Bernard’s tall body couldn’t bear it, started to sink, seemed ready to collapse at any moment.
He propped himself up on the couch with one hand, slightly tilted his head up and looked at the woman in front of him who was unwilling to show him even a shred of pity.
“Just a fling, why so serious…”
He let out a cold laugh. “So…when you were with me, you didn’t feel guilty towards Garett at all, because you were just fooling around…”
Upon hearing this, Eleanor laughed, “You’re just realizing the truth now, you’re so stupid.”
Bernard’s body started to crumble, he couldn’t believe the woman in front of him.
He touched his numb heart, then grabbed her by the back of her head and pulled her towards himself.
Eleanor struggled to push him away, but he tilted his head up, bit her lip, “You were just fooling around, but I was serious. I really thought that if we continued being together like this, you’d fall in love with me again. And you’re telling me not to take it seriously?!
Do you know what I’ve been looking forward to every day? I’ve been hoping that you’d fall in love with me, divorce Garett, and then I’d give you a grand wedding And you’re telling me it was all a game?!”
Bernard, like a man possessed, started biting her lips crazily.
He ripped her clothes apart…
He violently pulled her down from the couch onto the floor, pinned her down and showed no mercy.
His previous gentleness was replaced by violent force.
Shortly after, Bernard suddenly laughed.
He said to Eleanor, “Eleanor, look, your body is still responsive to me, so all those things you said earlierwere just trying to piss me off, right?”
Eleanor didn’t respond, just calmly looked at him, “Anyone would have a physiological response.”
Such harsh words made Bernard’s smile disappear instantly.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
