Braving the winter snow, Israel steadied his trembling voice and said, word by word, “Serenina, turn around, look at me…”
Nina, biting back her irritation, turned around only to see Israel standing in the snow, wearing just a thin shirt, his eyes red, looking at her.
She paused for a moment, then with a glance that seemed casual, she coldly withdrew, “Israel, I've lost interest in you. Stop bothering me and my boyfriend.”
After saying this, Nina hung up the phone, took her boyfriend's hand, and walked towards the dormitory. Yet, her boyfriend delivered a piercing blow with his question, “If he annoys you so much, why don't you just block him?”
Block him, then he'd never be able to call again. Serenina lowered her long eyelashes, hesitated for two seconds, and in front of her boyfriend, she blocked Israel's number.
Israel, unable to reach Serenina, fell into despair for two years, still sending messages to her from a phone she'd never reply to.
When Nina was about to graduate, her boyfriend cheated on her, leaving her. Strangely enough, instead of raging against the cheater and the other woman, she felt a sigh of relief.
Later, when she heard that the most sought-after girl at B City College was madly chasing after Israel, Nina realized why she didn't care about her first love's betrayal; it was because her heart had always harbored feelings for Israel.
Nina was too proud to admit her feelings, but on the night of her graduation, seeing Israel again, she understood that during those four years, whenever he had the chance, he would secretly visit the University of A to see her...
She was surprised by Israel's persistence and questioned why Israel, who had never liked her since they were young, ended up falling for her.
But Israel didn't answer her questions. Instead, he sealed his late-found love with a deep kiss.
When she agreed to be with Israel, Nina was grateful for her inherent conservatism, which allowed her to accept the bouquet and return his kiss without any reservations.
Their relationship was discovered by Bernard within a year. Bernard rushed to find Israel, insisting he marry Nina. Israel, who had already intended to propose, happily agreed and promptly proposed to Nina.
Veronica Laurence, who had always adored Nina, enthusiastically supported her son's rush to marry her, even offering a substantial dowry at Fiord Roundabout on her son's behalf.
Eleanor, initially shocked, felt relieved knowing Nina would be marrying into Veronica's family, believing she would be happy. She nodded in agreement, also relieved that Nina wouldn't have to move far away.

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...
