Chapter 555
Eleanor was waiting for an answer from Bernard, waiting for so long that he still didnt respond. In the end, she just chuckled, saying
“I get it, you don’t want me anymore.
She raised her hand, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, stepping back, disappointed
She didn’t leave just stood there alone, looking at the silent man before her, and whispered.
“Can you at least give me a reason?”
Yet, the man didn’t speak or look at her, seemingly using a cold silence to force her to leave
Eleanor, realizing his intentions, stroked the scar on her left hand a memento of her suicide attempt for him.
Only then did she truly experience what real heartache felt like, more unbearable than death itself.
She stared at Bernard, holding back the pain.
You promised to marry me to stay with me forever, why would you go back on your word?”
The man before her, frowned at Eleanor who blended in with the falling snowflake.
His eyes conveyed a murky emotion that couldn’t be deciphered.
Where were you when I was unconscious in the hospital?”
Twas..”
“You were with Ethan.”
Bernard cut Eleanor off, his cold eyes full of despair
“After I woke up, I hoped every day that you would come back on your own. But you didn’t, not even once.”
7 was taken by Ethan. *
Eleanor hurriedly reached out to grab his sleeve, wanting to explain. But he pushed her hand away, stopping her from speaking.
“Eleanor, I’ve tried. I’m out of steam chasing you. Let’s end this, okay?”
With that said, he quickly withdrew his gaze from her, opened the car door, and got in.
Seeing him about to leave, Eleanor hurriedly lunged forward. But before she could even touch the car door handle, the car zoomed off
Her outstretched hand brushed past the car, like trying to grasp flowing water, it just slipped away from her sight.
She watched the car drive away, recalling his words, they were exactly the same as in her dream.
She stood there in a daze for a while, then like a madwoman, she tilted her head back, looking at the sky, and laughed lightly

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...
