A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 949

Chapter 949 

Caleb was stuck in a serious bind, he was supposed to leave but his feet just wouldn’t budge 

“So…you and Peterson, what’s the deal?” 

“He’s a great guy we’re getting hitched in a few days” 

Caleb froze, then hopped off the window sill, tightly gripping Katharine’s shoulders, words tumbling out in a panic. 

“You’ve barely met the guy and you’re rushing into marriage? At least date for half a year, get to know him properly before tying the knot ” 

“What’s it to you?” 

Her cool retort left Caleb speechless. 

He stared into Katharine’s eyes, took a deep breath and pulled her into a tight embrace 

“Don’t marry 

him 

Katharine tried to push him away, but his hold only tightened. 

“Wow, really? You don’t fancy me but you’re here to stop me from marrying someone else. Are 

you out of 

your mind?” 

Caleb lowered his head, resting his chin on her shoulder, planting a weak kiss on her cheek 

“Katharine, it’s not that I don’t fancy you, it’s just. I have some stuff to deal with that I can’t put into words. Can you wait for me?” 

“No.“Katharine mustered all her strength, shoved Caleb away and slapped him across the face. 

‘Get out, I don’t want to see you!” 

The force of Katharine’s slap left a massive swelling on Caleb’s face, the imprint of her fingers was clearly visible. 

Caleb touched his throbbing cheek and looked at Katharine. 

“Even if I tell you I like you, you’d still marry him?” 

“You’re too late 

Why didn’t he show up when she was acting with Peterson? 

Now he’s sneaking into her room for a goodbye, not to win her back. 

This proved that even if Caleb did like her, he didn’t like her enough. 

She’s afraid of men like him, who might abandon her at any moment. 

Ignoring the pain tearing through his cheek, Caleb moved closer, embracing Katharine once again, 

Katharine pushed him away, he leaned in to kiss her. He kissed her until she was breathless, until she couldn’t resist, until she was moved. Only then did Caleb slowly let her 

go 

“Deceiving you to get close was my mistake, but my feelings for you are real.” 

Kathanne touched her swollen red lips, glaring at Caleb. 

“How much of your like is mixed with deception?” 

Caleb took a deep breath, he apologized again for his previous actions. 

“I was wrong before, but I’ve had some time to think I could’ve approached you differently but I chose the lowest of the low, maybe because I was already attracted to you and didn’t realize… 

Among all the remarkable women who had shown interest in him, Caleb was only ever drawn to Katharine. He couldn’t help but tease her, test her, because his feelings for her were evident. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dared to touch her. 

“I really don’t understand what you’re trying to say,” Katharine retorted, pushing him away, fully aware of how to provoke Caleb. 

“Whether you currently have feelings for me or not, it doesn’t matter. I’ve made up my mind to marry Peterson, Katharine declared firmly. 

Caleb had hoped that confessing his feelings would lead to her forgiveness, but she remained resolute in her decision to marry Peterson Anxiety started to consume him, causing him to tightly grip Katharine’s wrist. As he sensed her struggling to break free, his hold only grew tighter. 

“Let go of me!” 

“I won’t!” 

Caleb looked at Katharine, his eyes filled with deep affection. 

“If I let go, you’ll marry Peterson, I don’t want you to marry him.” 

His eyes were flashing with emotions Katharine had never seen before. 

She was slightly moved, but quickly regained her composure, questioning Caleb 

“You came to say goodbye, but now you’re holding onto me and stopping me from marrying someone else, don’t you find that weird?” 

Caleb was in pain, his brow furrowed.
