A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 948

York got home and saw Katharine zoning out in the living room, which was a bit of a bummer. He gave

her a once–over with his eyes.

“Peterson just called said he’s not that into you Did you turn him down?”

When he proposed the arranged marriage to the Sharp family, York brought a photo of his daughter

Peterson agreed to meet after seeing the picture, saying she’s not bad.

There was a golden opportunity right in front of them, but after the meeting, Peterson suddenly backed

out. York, having been through his fair share of young love, knew exactly where the problem lied

“Dad, Peterson said that even if I marry him, he won’t be able to provide any resources for the Spencer

family” Katharine said.

Upon hearing this, York furrowed his brow but neither agreed nor disagreed. He took off his coat and

sat across from Katharine

“As long as you marry him and cultivate a relationship with him, he will gradually provide resources in

consideration of your reputation” York responded.

“Peterson may seem easygoing on the surface, but he has a very stubborn personality and won’t make

concessions for a woman,” Katharine sighed deeply

“You’ve only met him once How can you understand what kind of person he is?”

Katharine sighed again. “Dad, I also want to help you, but clearly, Peterson doesn’t have any special

feelings for me. If he did, he wouldn’t have been so direct with his words. We’re both adults, and we

understand this reality, don’t we?”

York wanted to say more, but seeing the exhaustion on Katharine’s face, he remained silent.

His daughter had always listened to him without rebelling, and in addition, despite arranging so many

men for her, none of them had any special feelings for her. Peterson couldn’t be an exception either.

With this in mind, York sighed again, “Look at you, you’re not ugly, just a bit too strong. Why can’t

anyone feel anything special for you?”

Robin, walking in from the door, snorted coldly. “If no one’s into you, just stay at home I can afford to

take care of you”

This remark sounded more like a jibe Katharine retorted. “Robin, you’re no better…”

One’s got depression, the other’s got a bad temper They both had their own issues, no one’s in a

position to mock anyone.

Thinking about his children, York felt a headache coming on

“Sort your own mess out”

He picked up his coat and went upstairs.

After York left, Robin sat down and asked. “That jerk didn’t show up?”

Kathanne shook her head then nodded. “He did, but didn’t have the guts to see me

Robin chuckled at the coward, then glanced at Katharine. “If you’re into bodyguards, why not switch to

another one? Nathan’s not bad

Katharine let out a speechless sigh, “Robin, figure out what like‘ means before you try to console me.”

She picked up the pillow in her arms, got up, and went back to her room. After washing up, she lay on

the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling

In the middle of the night, after the lights in the Spencer family’s mansion had all been extinguished,

Caleb climbed onto the windowsill, pushed open the window, and skillfully made his way to Katharine’s

bedside

Bathed in the moonlight that streamed in from outside, he gazed at the sleeping Katharine for a while,

then gently touched her cheek. As his hand made contact with her face, Kathanne’s hand inside the

covers trembled slightly, as if she knew who it was, but she didn’t open her eyes.

Caleb released his hand and then leaned down to plant a gentle kiss on her forehead. His actions were

tender, but they seemed to carry a sense of reluctance, as if bidding a final farewell. After the kiss, he

stepped back and walked away.

“Im sorry” Caleb whispered softly, releasing his hold on Katharine and turning towards the windowsill.

Just as he was about to jump off, Katharine’s voice came from behind, “If you leave like this, never

come looking for me again…”

Caleb froze in place, turning his head to see Katharine lifting the covers and walking towards him.

Caleb had expected her to come and slap him hard, but he hadn’t anticipated the calm expression on

her face, devoid of any trace of anger.

This side of Katharine was something Caleb had never seen before. It seemed like she had let go of

him. Realizing this, Caleb’s heart was in turmoil.

“Katharine, I…

“Did you come here this late just to sneak a kiss?”

Katharine cut him off, took a step forward, and looked up at Caleb sitting on the windowsill.

“Do you still crave my body, is that why you’re here to bother me in the middle of the night?”

“No”

Caleb shouldn’t have come, but he couldn’t control himself. What could this mean?

It only meant that he liked Katharine, just not as intensely as others, and was still somewhat rational,

not losing control

He came here just to say goodbye quietly. He never thought about getting Katharine back, but he didn’t

expect to be discovered by her Caleb was at a loss for words, unable to say anything

“Then why did you come looking for me

“I came just to say goodbye”

Upon hearing this, Katharine laughed.

I see. Well, since you’ve said goodbye, you can leave now”

She gestured towards the window, signaling Caleb to leave
