A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 2358 Alexis firmly pushed Leonel away. She walked across the room, filled with a distinctly masculine scent, to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Opening it, she looked out over the courtyard she had known since childhood. Everything was so familiar, yet so distant now.

In a low voice, she addressed Leonel, “You can't just come and go as you please. The world doesn’t work like that! Yes, you might have come back and you might still have feelings for me. But what does that matter? Your pursuit feels like a burden to me now. Frankly, it's disrupting my life.” Leonel approached her slowly, listening as she continued, “Before you came back, I was doing just fine on my own. A woman doesn’t need to be married to live a fulfilling life.” He was well aware of this.

Alexis, with her status, had the liberty to lead whatever life she chose, surrounded by anyone she desired.

Yet, despite how selfish or shameless it might seem, Leonel couldn't bear the thought of letting her go.

He wrapped his arm around her, resting his face against her slender shoulder.
