A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 335
The wedding took place in a garden right opposite to an orphanage, an open-air venue surrounded by a sea of flowers as far as the eye could see. This was where Garett and Eleanor met and fell in love. Their story started here.
Garett had people guarding the garden, not allowing anyone near, while others were hired to set up the place, giving it a unique touch.
The red carpet was covered in bright rose petals, leading from the garden gate all the way to the open-air terrace where the wedding was held.
He sat in his wheelchair, a rose in hand, a diamond ring in the other, waiting for the girl he loved for his entire life to walk towards him.
Eleanor ran along the red carpet to the entrance of the garden, where she paused, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her flustered emotions.
The cool raindrops falling on her face, matching her body temperature at the moment.
Colter, who arrived later, immediately opened his umbrella and walked towards Eleanor as soon as he saw her. “Ms. Shultz, glad I made it in time.”

Eleanor turned to look at Colter and said softly, “Let’s go.”
Colter nodded, holding the umbrella over her as he led her inside.
Hailey, who had come for the wedding, had just gotten out of her car when she saw Bernard standing still, his eyes full of regret.
She walked up to him, saw the paleness on his face, and sighed, “Mr. Laurence, you guys have come this far, there’s no turning back now. Let it go.”
After saying this, Hailey headed straight for the wedding venue.
Bernard’s eyes trembled slightly as he watched Hailey walk away and asked softly, “Ms. Vulpe, did Eleanor ever love me, like Liana said?”
Hailey stopped, turned around, and looked at Bernard. “Of course, Eleanor loved you so much that she didn’t want to spend a penny of your money. She thought it would help her regain some dignity and change your perception of her. But you let her down.”
Bernard’s face turned even paler.
He had mistakenly thought that she didn’t need his money because she had a new sugar daddy and had said a lot of hurtful things, disappointing her.
He never thought that she didn’t need his money because she loved him.
Bernard felt a pang of guilt. So, she had really loved him, and Liana wasn’t lying.
Seeing his sudden realization, Hailey couldn’t help but feel a little regretful. “Mr. Laurence, after falling in love with you, Eleanor wanted to confess to you. But she said you were hot and cold, so she didn’t dare. She hopes you can forgive her for not telling you about it.”
A hint of laughter appeared in Bernard’s reddened eyes. “I’ve never blamed her.”
Because he never confessed to her either.
