Chapter 450
“I’m Mr. Law.”
He gently caressed her delicate face with his index finger, and the affection deep in his eyes was more intense than the sunlight outside.
Eleanor stared hard at the man before her, so noble and unapproachable. Even though she suspected it was him, she still found it hard to believe.
After a moment of shock, she picked up the golden bronze mask in her hand, stood on her tiptoes, and put it on for him.
When Bernard overlapped with Mr. Law in her memory, Eleanor felt a moment of dizziness.
Her gaze slowly moved down, looking at the tattoo on his slender neck.
“It’s fake.”
Bernard seemed to see through her doubts and softly explained.
The tattoo was fake, and so were the dressing style, the messy hair, the hoarse voice, and the scent on him, all deliberately disguised.
She found it hard to accept and stepped back, “Why…why did you force and deceive me with a false identity?”
Her soft question was like a dagger, stabbing into his heart, making him feel guilty, uneasy, and scared.
He was afraid he would lose her, so he recklessly pulled her into his arms, using all his strength to hold her.
Eleanor’s hands rested on his firm chest. She stopped struggling and just looked up at Bernard.
“Do you think I was stupid, foolish, and fun back then, so you deliberately played me?”
“No!”
Bernard vehemently denied it and tried to explain, but was interrupted by Eleanor’s cold voice.
“What then?”
“Because…”
“Because you
think I’m easy to bully, I should be your toy!!!”
The anger erupting from her chest made Eleanor shiver with fury. Her eyes were filled with extreme disappointment.
“Bernard, I’ve been with you for five years, but you’ve always hurt me, forced me, and deceived me. Don’t you see me as a human?”
Seeing her resentful eyes filled with tears, Bernard’s heart clenched.
“Eleanor, listen to me…”
As he stepped forward, she hid her feelings and headed for the door.
Bernard quickly removed the mask from his face, strode forward, and grabbed her wrist.
He pulled her into his arms, one hand gripping her slender waist. He lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
His passionate kiss left Eleanor breathless. She struggled to free her hands and slapped him hard.
“Bernard, do you realize we’ve broken up?”
The man slightly tilted his head, ignoring the pain on his face, and pinned Eleanor against the wall.

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...
