A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1046

Through the expansive window, Peterson observed as the pair outside diverged into separate paths.

He gave the drink in his hand a gentle swirl, remarking. So, they’ve

finally chosen their different roads”

Bernard trailed his gaze, casting a glance through the window There was a slight change in his

expression, though it wasn’t unexpected

“My sister has always been firm about her desires,” he noted, his voice carrying a hint of admiration

and perhaps, resignation “She relentlessly pursues what she wants and once it’s no longer necessary,

she doesnt falter in letting go- be it material possessions of emotions.”

Peterson raised his glass in a nonchalant toast, taking a subtle sip A hint of a smile traced his lips. “You

knew I’d witness this scene, yet you still chose this venue What’s your angle?”

He was, after all, in the midst of discussing a possible marriage alliance with Sigrid Under such

circumstances, wouldn’t it have been more prudent for Bernard to shield her past?

“Anything hidden is bound to be revealed sooner or later I would prefer that you learn about this from

me rather than from a less reliable source.” Bernard asserted.

His gaze drifted back to the window, focusing on the figure making its way to a car.

“As for whether you want to continue with the marriage after knowing this, that’s up to you,”

Peterson’s smile deepened

“My decision isn’t what matters, it’s all up to your sister”

With that, Peterson gave Bernard a thoughtful look

“Honestly, I quite like your attitude. It’s just a shame you’re a man”

Bernard scowled disgust flashing in his eyes Seeing this, Peterson burst into laughter.

“I’m just messing with you, I don’t have a specific preference for gender.”

Bernard set his glass down heavily on the table, his face cold

“The last person who claimed they didn’t have a gender preference ended up falling for my wife.”

Peterson suddenly became interested, leaning forward slightly

“Who’s got the guts to make a move on your wife?”

Bernard, lounging on the sofa, shot him a cold glance but didn’t answer

Peterson wasn’t upset. He muttered to himself, “I guess your wife must be quite a looker. Is that why

you’re keeping her hidden and not letting me see her?”

Bernard heard what Peterson was implying, but he didn’t care and had no intention of explaining.

He withdrew his cold gaze and stood up. “You’ll see her after you marry Sigrid”

Interesting To meet Bernard’s wife, he’d have to marry his sister first. Talk about a catch.

Watching Bernard’s carefree figure, Peterson couldn’t help but smirk.

In the box downstairs, Chase didn’t return. Only Sigrid did.

When Cedric saw this, he knew they hadn’t made up

He greeted Eleanor, then grabbed his coat to look for Chase.

He thought Chase would have driven off, but found him sitting on the slope, staring up at the sky.

Cedric sat down next to him. “Did you tell her everything?”

Chase nodded Cedric asked, “Didn’t my sister forgive you?”

Chase’s eyes were red, tinged with pain “She forgave me.”

Signd had forgiven him, but she no longer loved him.

Cedric was about to ask more, but Chase cut him off “If you really have feelings for Ms. Vulpe, don’t

wait until things have settled down to find her. Over time, your feelings

might fade”

Cedric was taken aback, then said firmly. “I don’t have feelings for her anymore.”

Chase chuckled “Really? Why don’t you ask your heart?”

Cedric thought Chase was uding him as a punching bag because he couldn’t win back Sigrid He got up

to leave but heard Chase’s voice behind him. “If you’ve investigated Bernice, give the evidence to Ms.

Vulpe as soon as possible. Don’t delay_

in his life, hed lost the woman he loved. He didn’t want his only friend to end up like him. “And after you

win back Ms. Vulpe, remember to convince your parents. Don’t let

her end up like me

After saying this, Chase got up and left

His lonely figure made Cedric feel like he could collapse at any moment.

But he continued to move forward, step by step, without any intention of looking back

Maybe even if he did look back, no one would be there waiting for him anymore

“What are you planning to do?”

Chase didn’t answer. He just raised his hand and waved it dismissively

It seemed to suggest that life is long and everything is determined by fate There’s no use struggling,

just go with the flow

Cedric lowered his head, looking at his own reflection at his feet, deep in thought

Chase and Signd were once in love, but he and Hailey never were Their life paths wouldn’t follow

Chase and Signd’s because there was no touching love sto butween

them

He pulled out his phone and opened the photos his assistant had sent For a moment, he thought about

taking these photos to Hailey, but his previous experience sobered him. Even if he took the evidence to

Hailey would she believe him?

Cedric was wary of taking risks, he was caught in a conundrum. He feared that if Hailey didn’t believe

him, it would be tragic, yet, if she did believe him and forgave Yeager, the pain would be unbearable

Unexpectedly, he felt a sense of inferiority in front of Yeager, a doctor whom he deemed worthless. The

roots of this inferiority complex lay in his interactions with Hailey
