Chapter 556
The man in the car kept a close watch on the figure in the rear view mirror, shrinking as she squatted on the ground
Until the figure turned into a little black dot, the man suddenly let go of his clenched fist and yelled out
“Stop the car!”
The driver hit the brakes immediately, and a dozen or so luxury cars behind him also stopped quickly
Bernard, trembling, picked up his black coat and pushed open the car door, striding quickly towards Eleanor
Stepping on the snow, he stopped in front of her, hearing her laugh in an odd way, and took a deep breath.
“Eleanor
He called her name and the person on the ground shivered but didn’t dare to look up
Bernard stared at the frail figure, his aloof eyes turning red in an instant
He knelt on one knee in front of her, spread the coat in his hands, and wrapped her skinny body in it.
It’s freezing Why are you dressed so lightly?”
His voice made Eleanor feel dazed again.
It wasn’t until the coat brought her warmth that she came back to her senses.
She slowly lifted her head, looking at the man kneeling before her….
“The Eleanor you just called, was it me?”
She cautiously asked him.
The Eleanor I’ve been calling has always been you.”
Eleanor tilted her head with a puzzled look, somewhat confused
“But didn’t you break up with me?”
If he broke up with her, why was he still calling her Eleanor and kneeling in front of her to cover her with a coat?
Bernard stared at her pale face, his eyes red, and said softly, “It was you who dumped me.”
Hearing this, Eleanor was even more confused. “When did I dump you?”
Seeing her innocent expression, Bernard suddenly found himself unable to blame her.
“Forget it, since I can’t be heartless to you, why should I blame you…”
He raised his hand, touched Eleanor’s cold face, and then hugged her tightly
“As long as you’re willing to come back to me, that’s enough.”
Even if she had hurt him so badly three months ago, it was okay as long as she came back.
After persuading himself, Bernard carried Eleanor back to the car.
He had the driver turn up the heat and warm the seat, then wrapped Eleanor in a blanket.
Then he grabbed her frozen red hands and rubbed them in his palms
Eleanor looked at the man, unable to discern what he was thinking.
She even thought she was still trapped in a dream. But the warmth from his hands was real.

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...
