Chapter 592
Silently, they arrived at Eleaber Hall
Garrett, sitting in a wheelchair, stared blankly ahead Tonce wanted to build a place like this”
For Eleanor. A place that belonged to them. A place named after them
Garrett’s lips curled into a bitter smile that spread to his heart, making it hard for him to breathe
Seeing the once robust and energetic boy now so thin and frail, Hailey’s heart ached “Garrett, have you been having a hard time lately?”
Im doing fine
Colter, pushing the wheelchair from behind, frowned. “Mr. Clowers, how can you say you’re fine when you’re clearly…”
Garrett’s face darkened “Shut up!”
Unable to voice his heartache, Colter fell silent
Seeing them like this, Hailey understood. Without Eleanor, every day must be like a year for Garrett.
After all, he loved Eleanor so much, but they ultimately missed each other
Cotter pushed Garrett into Eleaber Hall. The dazzling starry sky and colorful auroras inside made his eyes well up again.
He pushed the wheelchair alone to the center of the clouds and the galaxy. “Bernard proposed to Eleanor here, didn’t he?”
“How’d you know?”
Garrett gave a slight smile, ignoring Hailey’s question. Because if he were to propose, he would kneel here, too.
In the center of the universe, the most important and most beautiful place, kneeling before the one you love and asking her to marry you-how perfect!
After a while, Garrett lowered his gaze to the pink roses covering the floor.
He remembered that Eleanor used to like red roses. Did she now prefer pink ones?
That’s true, over time, who would only like one type of flower forever? Just like no one would wait for someone in the same spot forever.
Garrett looked around at the auroras as if he were lost in memories
She once held his arm, demanding a future plane ticket. “Garrett, let’s make a promise. When we’re thirty, take me to see the auroras, okay?”
At the time, he put down his pen and playfully touched her nose Why wait until we’re thirty?”
She pointed to the piles of books on the desk. “Look at all these books By the time you finish your undergraduate degree and get your Master’s or PhD, won’t that be after thirty? So I have to book your future now.”
“No need to wait till thirty. Once I get this scholarship, I’ll buy the tickets and take you to see the auroras You can start thinking about which country to go to.” He smiled indulgently.
Hearing that he would take her to see the auroras, she smiled happily. “Any country is fine, as long as you’re with me”
But after that, he forgot to take her to see the auroras due to one competition after another. She never blamed him.
Now, thinking back, he wished she would’ve been less understanding. If she had blamed him more, maybe the memory of the auroras would be theirs, not Bernard’s and hers. Garrett chuckled, but then tears uncontrollably welled up in his eyes.
What right did he have to reminisce? He was the one who kept her waiting.

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...
