A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 53

Eleanor had just booked a restaurant on her phone when Cameron called again.

“Eleanor, send the restaurant address to Mr. Laurence too.”

He hung up without giving Eleanor a chance to speak. Frowning, she put down the phone, opened WhatsApp, and sent the address to Bernard’s assistant.

The assistant replied, “Ms. Schultz, I can’t reach Mr. Laurence at the moment. Please send it to his WhatsApp”

Eleanor had no choice but to unblock Bernard’s WhatsApp, quickly forwarded the address, and blocked him again.

After sorting that out, she grabbed the keys to the company van and headed to the parking lot.

As she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Bernard emerge from the private elevator, wearing a black coat and taking long

strides. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Eleanor’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly turned around, pretending she didn’t see him.

She thought he’d ignore her and leave, but surprisingly, he walked towards her.

Eleanor nervously clenched her fists, as her legs refused to move.

She could clearly sense his footsteps behind her, slowing to a stop.

It seemed he was staring at her back.

Eleanor didn’t need to turn around to visualize the expression in Bernard’s eyes. Coldness, indifference, contempt, disdain, and disgust likely filled his gaze.

Holding her breath, she witnessed the Bugatti in front of her suddenly roar to life. Bernard bypassed her, opened the driver’s door, and effortlessly slid into the car.

With his gaze lowered, he started the engine, gripped the wheel with one hand, and smoothly drove out of the parking garage without casting a single glance in her direction.

Once Bernard departed, Eleanor’s tensed body relaxed.

She found it ironic how she had once again deluded herself into thinking that he still cared about her. Suppressing her disappointment, she approached the seven–seater van.

She climbed in, started the car, and headed towards the airport.

It had been pouring outside for the past few days, and such weather always reminded Eleanor of that night five years ago.

That was a night she never wanted to recall, but thinking about the person she was about to meet, the memories from the past. flooded her mind.

That night, a raging storm pat away even the streetlights‘ dim glow

The young man carried her on his back, slowly walking back home She, however, stubbornly refused to let him carry her, so he had no choice but to put her down.

Eleanor remembered that she was angry with him that night, which was why she wouldn’t let him carry her.

Back then, he didn’t say anything – he just silently followed her. She hated his silence the most, not speaking no matter what she

said.

In her anger, she abandoned him and ran ahead without a care.

As she reached a fork in the road, an out–of–control car raced towards her from the side – she couldn’t dodge it in time.

Just when the car was about to hit her, the young man caught up and pushed her away with all his strength.

She fell into the wet ground opposite, only slightly bruised, while the young man was sent flying, covered in blood.

As his consciousness faded, he still tried to crawl towards the horrified Eleanor.

To this day, Eleanor still remembered the boy named Garett’s last words before he passed out: “Eleanor, don’t be afraid ”

She was once touched, but later, she never wanted to remember anything about him ever again……

After two hours, she finally arrived at the airport. She parked the car and then took the elevator to the arrival gate.

After waiting for about half an hour, the President of The Clowers Group, accompanied by a group of senior executives and bodyguards, slowly emerged from the gate.
