A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1260

Chapter 1260

Whenever she heard the word “leave”, Eleanor’s heart would pound, “Where are you going?”

Bernard’s fingers gently brushed her face, revealing a hint of reluctance, “I’ll tell you after I get back to the country.”

There were others in the car, so Bernard couldn’t disclose the specific location. Eleanor guessed it might have something to do with the Siren Organization, so she didn’t press further. She just sat up from his embrace and sat silently by his side.

Since they got married, Eleanor rarely was this quiet. This was a first. Just because he was leaving, she put on a protective color as if he was about to abandon her. Seeing Eleanor’s reaction, Bernard felt a little uneasy. He couldn’t help but reach out and tug at her clothes, “Eleanor…”

Eleanor didn’t respond, she turned her head to look out of the car window, her heart full of fear. Although she didn’t know what the mission of the Siren Organization was, she understood that overly confidential matters often came with danger.

She deeply loved Bernard and couldn’t bear to lose him. She hoped he could leave the Siren Organization and stay by her side forever. But she also knew that Bemard was the leader of the Siren Organization, he couldn’t leave and couldn’t stay with her forever.

Eleanor’s silence made Bernard worried, “Eleanor, I…”

Eleanor turned her head and cut him off, ‘Let’s talk about it when we get home.”

That was all she said, then she turned her gaze back to the window.

Seeing her cold profile, Bernard sudden lidn’t dare to get closer.

They rode in silence until they arrived at the airport.

Even when they boarded the plane, Bernard wanted

to

hold her, but Eleanor didn’t agree.

Bernard could only pull back his hand, sit by her side, and silently watch Eleanor’s back.

She must have felt that he was going to do something dangerous, didn’t want him to go, but knew he had to. She couldn’t stop him, she could only choose to be angry at him.

Understanding her thoughts, Bernard, regardless of whether she was angry, directly reached out and held her tightly.

His warm chest against her back, the coldness of her skin replaced by his warmth, slowly warming her heart. Eleanor turned around, tightly hugged Bernard’s waist, and buried her face in his, chest.

–They didn’t talk about it on the plane, just silently holding each other, like a pair of lovers about to face life and death.

By the time they got home, it was already late at night. They walked into the room, one in front, one behind, no one said a word.

Finally, Eleanor turned to look at Bernard, “When are you leaving?”

Bernard hid the sadness on his face, walked up to her and held her, “In ten days.”

He had already set a date, meaning he was ready, but only told her now.

Eleanor was a bit angry, “How long will you be gone?”

Bernard answered softly, “A month.”

He only gave himself a month, and would only let Eleanor wait for a month.

Eleanor lowered her head, thinking about what life would be like without Bernard for a month?

She thought about it for a long time, but still couldn’t understand because he was still here and they had never been apart since they got married.

She was panting, was silent for a while, then gripped her palms tightly and asked the question she was most worried about, “Will you come back safe?” Bernard’s body stiffened for a moment. He almost lost his life last time he went to Area Opaca, this time… Sophie and Mr. Penrod both knew his identity, who knows what will happen, all in all, he was very uneasy, but he wouldn’t tell her.

Seeing her impatience, she pushed his hand away, turned around, her eyes red, “Bernard, will you come back safe?!”

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Bernard felt heartache, nodded, “I will, I will come back safe.”

His promise was just a promise, no one can predict what will happen in the future. Eleanor was full of anxiety, she rushed forward, tightly hugging Bernard’s-waist, “Honey, can you not go?”

Can he not go, can he just be her husband, and live a peaceful life forever?

Bernard lifted his long hand and gently stroked Eleanor’s back, “Mr. Penrod promised me, once I complete this mission, I can leave the Siren Organization forever. Then, I will spend the rest of my life with you.”

He made the last deal with Mr. Penrod so he could spend a lifetime with Eleanor. Bernard was not a heartless person, on the contrary, he valued loyalty highly. Even if it was for a deal, he was willing to risk his life, both to repay Mr. Penrod’s kindness and to save countless lives in the Siren Organization.

Love and loyalty, Bernard didn’t want to choose, he wanted both. So he spent a month repaying others for their loyalty and a lifetime accompanying love. That’s

what Bernard should do.
