A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 281

Bernard’s beautiful eyes were slightly squinted, making him look charming but his mind was crystal clear.

He knew Liana was coming, and that she would try to stop him, but he didn’t say a word, just continued drinking his red wine.

Liana snatched the wine glass away, and said seriously, “Mr. Laurence, if you keep going like this, not even a stomach pump will save you”

Bernard still remained silent, seemingly unwilling to open his mouth, and just reached out for another wine glass.

Observing this scene, Liana’s brow furrowed in displeasure. “Mr. Laurence,” she admonished, “Ms. Shultz is still among the living. Instead of wallowing in spirits as in days past, you should gather yourself and attempt to win her affections once more. You’re not the aloof and haughty Mr. Laurence of old”

He used to be suave, indifferent, and arrogant.

But now, he completely lost the will to live, with dim eyes that seemed to see no hope.

After snatching the wine glass again, Liana told him, “Mr. Laurence, even though you’re so down because of Ms. Shultz, she can’t see it. All she remembers is your hot and cold emotional abuse and when she thought you were with Sophie before she died.”

Bernard’s fingers paused for a moment, and he raised his tearful eyes, looking at Liana, “Nothing happened between me and Sophie.”

He only loved one woman in his life, and that was Eleanor. As for other women, he didn’t even bother touching them. How could he possibly be in bed. with Sophie?

Liana sighed helplessly, “I know you and Sophie weren’t like that. But Ms. Shultz doesn’t know all this, she still misunderstands you. If you don’t explain to her, how can she know? And how can she forgive you?”

Bernard scoffed, “She won’t care…

So, even if he explained, Ms. Shultz would still not forgive him?

But the questions Ms. Shultz asked earlier clearly showed that there were still so many things not cleared up.

Liana felt that someone with Bernard’s personality might not even bother to explain

She sighed heavily again, asking him, “Mr. Laurence, tell me, why did you continue to humiliate her after you and Ms. Shultz broke up?”

In Liana’s memory, Bernard never acted rudely to anyone.

But Eleanor told Liana that Mr. Laurence forced her to kneel and pour wine, called her dirty names and used a check to insult her.. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

What had happened between them that they became so unbearable after breaking up?

Liana’s words undoubtedly added another stone to Bernard’s heart.

Those past memories broke into his mind without warning, causing him unbearable pain.

Why did he humiliate Eleanor?

He didn’t know.

He only knew that when he saw her with another man, he tried to control himself, but went crazy

The things he did to her, the words he said, were enough for her to never forgive him and flee forever.

So, what could he tell Liana? Could he make Eleanor give up Garett and come back to him?

Bernard chuckled, that man was Garett, who had taken care of her since childhood, and cherished her.

And he only had her for five years, often cold to her out of jealousy, and after they broke up, he hurt her like that.

Anyone would know to choose Garett, and not him….

Noting his refusal to respond, Liana’s anxiety surged. “Mr. Laurence,” she urged, “only when I understand the discord between you two can I approach Ms. Shultz, sit with her, and have a meaningful conversation. If you choose silence, I’m left without the words to advocate for you.”

Their mistakes had parted two loving souls, never meeting face to face until the end of their lives.

Now that they finally met, they decided to break up because of countless misunderstandings.

She didn’t want their ending to be like this, and she at least wanted to clear up these misunderstandings with Ms. Shultz.

Ultimately, whether Ms. Shultz would forgive Mr. Laurence, that would be up to Ms. Shultz to decide. She wouldn’t push it.

But with Mr. Laurence unwilling to mention the past and Ms. Shultz also resisting him, Liana felt powerless.
