A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 69

Eleanor looked at Bernard with confusion, unsure of how to respond for a moment. But she felt that he had tolerated her for so long, and she owed him at least an explanation.

Bernard saw that her expression gradually turned somber, as if she was being engulfed in past memories.

Eleanor collected her thoughts and replied indifferently, “I used to love him.”

Bernard pressed on, “And now?”

“Now?” Eleanor looked at Bernard, observing his tightly pursed lips and thin face. In her heart, she wanted to answer, “Now, I love you.” But she didn’t have the courage to say it out loud, nor did she believe she had the right to do so.

She felt she was no longer deserving of him.
