A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 316

Hailey saw Eleanor still standing there after hanging up the phone and quickly honked the car hom.

Eleanor hurriedly pushed her suitcase towards Hailey.

Back at the villa, they lay on the same bed like before, chatting about the past, present, and future. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Listening to Hailey’s endless chatter, Eleanor’s body gradually relaxed, leaning on Hailey’s shoulder and quickly fell asleep.

Seeing Eleanor asleep, Hailey tucked her in and slowly closed her eyes, entering dreamland.

The next day, Hailey intended to go with Eleanor to see Garett.

However, Hailey had things to do and had to stay behind.

Before leaving, Eleanor put her marriage certificate in her small backpack.

With her bag on her back and her phone in hand, she arrived at Garett’s villa.

He was still sitting in the backyard, looking down at a book. From afar, he looked like a painting.

Yet, his back looked lonely and deserted, as if abandoned by the whole world.

Eleanor could feel his emotions, but she pretended not to know and leisurely walked towards him.

She said, “Garett…”

Hearing her voice, Garett didn’t turn around cheerfully as before, but gripped the book in his hands even tighter.

Eleanor stopped in front of him, crouched down, and asked, “How are you today? Are you feeling unwell?”

Garett told Eleanor, “I’m fine, you don’t need to come see me.”

Eleanor looked at him and asked, “Garett, do you feel indebted to Bernard because he saved you?”

Garett clenched his lips and didn’t answer, not even looking at Eleanor anymore, his heart filled with guilt and pain.

Eleanor took the book from his hands, softly telling him, “Garett, whatever you owe Bernard, I’ll help you repay it. Don’t worry too much.”

Garett looked up at Eleanor and asked, “How can you repay it?”

Eleanor lowered her head, saying, “I don’t know how to repay it, but I believe that one day I’ll clear the debt.”

Garett smiled and said. “He doesn’t need your repayment, nor does he need mine. All he needs is you.”

Hearing this, Eleanor’s face turned pale: “Garett, how many times do I have to tell you that it’s over between me and Bernard before you

believe me?”

Seeing the disappointment in Eleanor’s eyes, Garett immediately apologized, “Eleanor, I’m sorry, I’ve been too worried. I always thought. you and Bernard…”

Eleanor interrupted him, looking into his eyes, and said very seriously, “The moment I left this world, Bernard and I, we could never go back.”

She continued, “Although recently I learned of his hardships and knew he did a lot for me, I did waver.”

“But he killed his own Eleanor with his own hands. Now, I just want to look forward and never look back.”

“As for Ethan, we have successfully ended our marriage. He has returned to the G country.”

“Garett, I did all this because from the beginning, I decided to stay by your side.”

“You’ve been with me for over twenty years, and I want to be with you for at least another twenty…”

Garett’s eyes filled with tears, blurring his vision of her face.

He tried to raise his hand to touch her face, but the pain made him lower it again.

Clutching his legs tightly, he struggled for a few minutes before raising his tear–filled eyes to look at Eleanor.
