A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1448

Zephyr’s smile held a hint of transcendence, a serene detachment that couldn’t help but influence Eleanor and even Bernard, who felt his eager anticipation to meet Caleb settle into a calm stillness.

Bernard, who usually never drank anything outside his home, took the colorful

stained-glass tumbler in his hand and brought it to his lips. The sip was delicate and the fragrance of the tea infusion quickly spread through his senses, revealing an unexpected charm.

The words, ‘but you are not him,’ indicated that in Bernard’s heart, no one could replace Caleb. Caleb was irreplaceable, unique, and even if someone bore a striking resemblance, they could never truly be him.
