Chapter 564
Eleanor’s eyes were red as she stared into those eyes that only ever had room for her. Through teary eyes, she said, “Bernard, of all the man I’ve known, it’s only ever been you. You were my first, and you’re my last.”
She tenderly lifted her fingers, tracing the lines of his furrowed brow, whispering, Whatever you’ve been through, well get through it together
Her soft voice had a soothing charm that gradually eased Bernard’s anxiety, fear, and restlessness
He scooped Eleanor up into his arms, using all his strength to pull her small frame into his embrace Eleanor, don’t ever leave me again.”
Eleanor reached out, hugging him just as lightly in return “The same goes for you, don’t leave me ”
They made a vow to stay together for the rest of their lives, never to be separated unless death parted them.
In a low voice, Bernard asked, “Are you hungry?”
Eleanor shook her head. He asked again, “Still sleepy?”
She shook her head again. He smirked, “Then come take a shower with me!
He lifted her legs, letting her wrap them around his waist as he carried her towards the bathroom.
The moment the door closed, he pressed her against the wall, his towering figure leaning into her like a wild beast, claiming her entirely.
This time he didn’t hesitate as he had in the car Instead, he let go of his inhibitions, just like before…
No, even more than before…
Eleanor was too overwhelmed to compare this to the past, all she knew was that he was almost devouring her with his fervor
With one hand on her waist. Bernard…
Eleanor blushed and gently pushed his chest, “Let’s shower already.”
But he simply lowered his head, nuzzling her neck, Tam”
Eleanor’s cheeks reddened further, about to retort stop talking nonsense, when he turned on the shower.
The warm water cascaded down, hitting Eleanor’s flushed face, making her slowly lift her eyes.
That’s what he meant….
As Eleanor blushed, Bernard whispered in her ear, “Eleanor, I like you”
His deliberately hushed voice, accompanied by the sound of water flowing, felt like a jolt of electricity.
Eleanor tried to avoid his touch, but he held her head, forcing her to meet his gaze.

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...
