A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1395

Sophie wanted nothing more than to spit out a venomous “serves you right,” but the subsequent words choked her into silence. It was as though the sins of her parents had indeed come back to haunt her, a karmic retribution for their past misdeeds.

She had everything one could want in life, except for the love of the man she truly desired. Ironically, it was Eleanor-the one her father had cast aside-who basked in that love, who was adored even to the point of suffering on her behalf. Could this really be fate’s cruel hand?

“But it was my parents who did those things, not me,” Sophie protested, her voice trembling with indignation. “I was just a child; I knew nothing about it. Why should I bear the brunt of their karma, why?”
