Chapter 676
After finishing the joint burial, two days had passed, during which Bernard would report to her every hour that she was safe. She wasn’t as worried anymore, and fell asleep bredly on her bed. After waking up, the reached for her phone
The night before. Bernard had messaged her that Nina was already picked up by him
His private jet would arrive at A City airport the next morning at 10 15
Looking at the time, she figured the plane must be landing soon, so she checked her call history and called him, but his phone was off
Assuming he hadn’t disembarked yet, she got up in freshen up and packed a few sets of clothes.
After getting ready for her trip to the G country she picked up he plone again, only to see that he hadn’t returned her call.
Sitting in front of her dressing table she called Bernard several times, the calls went through, but he didn’t answer
The sound of the disconnected call echoed repeatedly, filling Eleanor with sudden dread
She quickly got up, heading out while instructing Aidyn to drive her to the airport
“Sitting in the car, she kept calling Bernard, but he didn’t answer
Eleanor’s heart pounded in anxiety her intuition telling her something had happened to Bernard!
Usually, he’d answer her calls or reply to her messages instantly, but not this time
Her hand clutching the phone started to sweat, her body shivering
The car stopped at the airport, and without waiting for Aidyn to open the door, Eleanor quickly got out and ran towards the arrivals exit.
Crowds of people were coming out of the airport but she couldn’t spot any familiar figures. Eleanor’s face gradually turned pale.
She put down her phone, leaned against the cold wall and hugged herself, seeking some semblance of safety
Aidyn, standing nearby, also couldn’t reach Bernard So, he called Bernard’s bodyguard, but no one answered.
Even Aidyn started to feel that something might have happened to Bernard, so he called Caleb from a secluded spot, but he didn’t answer either
This didn’t make sense Picking up a kid was a small matter, surely Bernard couldn’t have messed it up Perhaps there was a problem on the way back?
Aidyn quickly contacted people in the G country, who confirmed that Bernard had already taken off
Aidyn checked the private jet’s into again and saw that it had landed, but no one had disembarked
Feeling puzzled, he revealed his identity and took Eleanor into the airport straight to the parked private jet
They were just about to rush up to find someone, when a tall man, leading a little girl holding a doll, appeared at the cabin door.
The little girl seemed to have just woken up and was a bit wobbly
The deepening night made his expression hard to read All Eleanor knew was that the sight of Bernard brought tears to her eyes.
She stood still, watching his figure from afar the waiting felt like an eternity, which was unbearable for her.
For the first time, she ran up to him without a care in the world and held onto Bernard tightly. “You scared me to death, I thought something happened to you”

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...
