A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1265

Chapter 1265

When Bemard came down the escalator, he saw Eleanor daydreaming in the restaurant, and walked over immediately, taking the soup pot from her hands, “Eleanor, leave this kind of stuff to the servants. Don’t do it yourself. Be careful, you might burn yourself.”

His tone was full of affection and his voice was soft, causing a mix of emotions in Eleanor. She tried to control herself and responded lightly, “Okay”.

Bernard put the pot down, glanced at Evan and Gianna who walked in, his gaze lingered briefly, then turned around, took Eleanor’s hand, and put it in his own, “Eleanor, I have to go now. Take care of yourself.”

Although Eleanor told herself she was mentally prepared, she still couldn’t help but tear up when she heard ‘I have to go’. She didn’t want him to see, so she quickly raised her hand, pointed at the food on the table, and diverted his attention, “Bernard, that’s the dinner I made for you. Can you eat some before you leave?”

Evan, standing by the door, checked his watch upon hearing this, “Mr. Laurence, we only have half an hour. The boat is about to leave. There’s no time.”

Ignoring Evan, Bernard just pulled Eleanor to sit down. Seeing this, Evan exchanged a glance with Gianna, then looked at Eleanor.

Eleanor also hoped Bernard could stay and finish the dinner she made for him. But she knew she had to be strong.

After watching Bernard for a while, Eleanor finally said, “Bernard, don’t make them wait too long.”

Bernard’s hand, holding the spoon, stiffened for a moment before scooping up a spoonful of soup and bringing it to Eleanor’s mouth.

He didn’t say anything, just signaled Eleanor to have it with his eyes. But Eleanor just smiled and shook her head, “Go.”

His hand holding the spoon tightened, and he looked at Eleanor before setting the spoon down and standing up to leave.

He left decisively, not looking back at Eleanor, just like a cold and ruthless businessman.

Watching him stride towards the door, Eleanor couldn’t help but let the tears fall….

She thought they had parted like this, but the car suddenly stopped outside the door, and then a tall figure quickly came back.

Eleanor was pulled into Bernard’s arms in surprise, and then, she was kissed by him.

His kiss was full of emotion, as if he wanted to pour out all his reluctance, as if he would rather keep kissing her and never leave, but he knew this was impossible. Finally, Bernard gently bit her lip, then slowly let her go as he said, “Wait for me.”

This promise did not calm Eleanor’s emotions.

She was afraid he wouldn’t come back, but pretended he could, smiling and saying, “Okay.”

Bernard gently touched her face, then her hair, before finally withdrawing his hand and turning to leave.

This time, Eleanor sat in the same spot, waiting for a long time, but Bernard didn’t come back. She knew he was really gone.

She felt empty, as if she had lost a part of herself.

In the car, Evan glanced at Bernard, who was constantly looking in the rear-view mirror. He quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Caleb.

Half an hour later, Bernard and Evan got out of the car, and Gianna in the backseat rolled down the window, her eyes full of worry.

“Mr. Law, please take care of my brother.”

During the process of persuading Bernard to go to Area Opaca, Evan had promised he would accompany Bernard, standing with him, no matter what. Evan was a man of his word, so naturally, he would go.

All Gianna could do was pin her hopes on Bernard, after all, only Bernard had ever made it out of that place alive.

Bernard turned his head slightly, glanced at her, but said nothing, just walked towards the dock.
