A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 309

Garett gave a bitter smile. A life–saving favor wasn’t something that could be paid off with a lavish gift.

He looked towards Eleanor, who was standing nearby.

He knew all along that Bernard only wanted her.

But he wanted her too. What was he supposed to do if he chose to give up?

After suppressing her heavy heart, Eleanor said to Garett, “I promised to take care of you for a lifetime. I won’t change my mind easily. So Garett, don’t overthink it.”

Hailey looked at Eleanor in surprise, not expecting her to have made such a promise to Garett.

Garett pressed hard on his unresponsive legs, unable to face them due to his crumbling emotions.

He turned his head and said to Yilia, “I’m tired. Take me back.”

Yilia felt that it was something she said that had caused a rift between them, but she didn’t know the specific reason.

After giving Eleanor and Hailey a slight smile, she pushed Garett and headed towards the villa..

Watching their retreating figures, Hailey frowned slightly but didn’t say anything.

She was afraid that showing worry in front of Eleanor would make things more difficult for her.

Hailey glanced at Eleanor, noticing her pale complexion, and quickly took her arm, “Eleanor, come with me to the church.”

The church was a peaceful place. Maybe going there could help Eleanor alleviate some stress and pain.

Eleanor came to her senses and nodded at Hailey, “Okay.”

On the way there, Hailey was too down to drive. On the way back, Eleanor was too absent–minded, so Hailey took the wheel.

When they reached the busiest part of town, Hailey pulled over and said she needed to buy some fruit.

They got out of the car and walked into the mall, intending to go to the supermarket. But then they saw a man in a well–tailored suit heading towards them. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Upon seeing him, Hailey unconsciously looked at Eleanor and noticed her daze. She couldn’t help but say, “Eleanor, why don’t you than him? After all, he’s done a lot for Garett.”

However, Eleanor seemed to be rooted in place, unable to move.

As Bernard was about to leave through another exit, Hailey anxiously pulled Eleanor towards him. Before they could reach him, they sa an extraordinarily beautiful woman waving at Bernard from the mall entrance.

The lady, tall and in an elegant evening dress, had wavy hair and exquisite makeup. She was holding a designer handbag.

She seemed a perfect match for Bernard, standing there with an equally noble and elegant demeanor, even possessing an intellectua beauty.

Her beauty was beyond that of any actress or socialite.

They stood at the mall entrance, the lady looking up and talking to the man, who showed no signs of displeasure, but rather listened attentively.

Eleanor and Hailey couldn’t hear them, but they saw the lady take Bernard’s arm after she finished talking.

Bernard didn’t react much to the lady’s touch, he just let her lead him towards a luxury car.
