A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1076

After wrapping up his business at the group. Bernard returned earlier than usual to Fiord Roundabout. He found Eleanor sitting in the living room, head bowed, seemingly deep in thought

He shrugged off his coat, then started to loosen his tie as he approached Eleanor.

“Sweetheart, why didn’t you continue working on your designs today?”

Usually, she would be in the study at this time, but today she was just sitting in the living room, zoning out. He found it a bit odd.

Hearing Bernard’s calm and gentle voice, Eleanor looked up.

“My hand got tired, so I didn’t continue.”

Upon hearing this, Bernard paused in the middle of loosening his tie, grabbed her hand, and began massaging her wrist.

“If it wasn’t for wanting to complete the project your sister left unfinished, I wouldn’t have let you work so hard.”

He just wanted to give her the best life, one that was free of worries.

Eleanor watched his hands massaging hers, and after a few seconds of silence, she spoke.

“Bernard, did you know Garett has depression?”

His hands slowly came to a halt.

Bernard raised his head to meet Eleanor’s gaze. He noticed the pallor of her complexion and the sadness in her eyes. She already knew the truth, and Bernard realized he couldn’t hesitate any longer.
