A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1002

Right now, Bernard was swamped with work at the Lawrence Group, leaving Eleanor all by herself at home.

Eleanor was in the middle of sketching some designs when Bryson told her that Cedric's parents were here. She immediately dropped her pencil.

As she got up to head downstairs to the living room, she wondered why Cedric's parents would suddenly seek her out when they've had little interaction before.

Latonia came from a well-off family, was backed by Jason, and was quite the looker. Her whole being radiates an air of good upbringing, and even in her older age, she maintainws an elegance and intellect. Her words were spoken gently, without a hint of arrogance.

Seeing Eleanor, she smiled and complimentd her on her looks and taste in fashion. She also mentioned the interior design of the Fiord Roundabout, saying it's beyond anything international designers could muster. She added that her brother has a manor that needed redecorating and invites Eleanor to take on the design.

Eleanor caught on that Latonia needs a favor from her, and so she agreed to the request: "Thank you for the business opportunity. I'll take on your brother's manor project. But there must be something else you want to talk about, right? You didn't just come here to pitch me a project, did you?"

"There is indeed something else I need your help with."

After chatting for a while and downing several cups of coffee, Latonia awkwardly revealed her actual intention: "Eleanor, could you perhaps have a word with Robin?"

Eleanor was taken aback by the request, "I'm not really tight with Robin, talking to him might not do any good."

She instinctively declined, but Latonia moved to sit next to her, gripping her hand tightly and patting it gently.

"Sweetie, I know it's a bit out of line to ask you to talk to him, but Robin told you to look after him because he feels guilty that his family didn't treat your mother right. He wants to use this opportunity to get closer to you and make amends. So I'm thinking, if you talk to him, it might work."

After saying this, Latonia added, "Of course, if you're not willing, that's fine too. We'll figure out another way."

Everyone in the Laurence family knew about Robin revealing Eleanor's identity in the past, but they all chose to stay silent.

They did this to protect her, for which Eleanor was very grateful. Now, Cedric's mother was tactfully making a suggestion, not forcing her.

She had been married into the Laurence family for quite some time, and aside from the initial objections from her grandfather, everyone in the Laurence family had been good to her. With this in mind, Eleanor nodded.
