A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1042

Peterson surveyed the people around the table, finding it quite amusing, but then...

His gaze fell on the private room's restroom. Why had Mr. Laurence's wife been in there for so long?

Growing increasingly anxious, Eleanor pulled out her phone and sent a message to Bernard, [Dear, please find a way to get Peterson out.]

Bernard, who had been contemplating how to tactfully steer Peterson away, saw the message and revealed a doting smile, [Do you want me to come in and keep you company?]

What did he mean by that?

Eleanor responded: [I'm sure you can find a way.]

Bernard replied: [Wait a moment.]

Setting his phone aside, Bernard turned to Peterson, "There's a project I'd like to discuss with you. Could we move upstairs for a chat?"

The building they were gathered in was under Bernard's ownership, with a regular restaurant on the ground floor and entertainment venues occupying the rest. Although he knew that the projects of the Sharp family weren't under his management, he still chose to discuss them with Peterson at this moment, obviously intending to lead him away.

Peterson understood all this but didn't call it out. Rising gracefully, he said, "Let's go."

After the two of them left, Sigrid's expression subtly shifted. It seemed like she knew Bernard had deliberately separated Peterson, and this realization left her feeling a bit uneasy.

She knew that Chase was helping Bernard with his lawsuit, just to get close to her, even bringing Peterson as a wingman.

She initially thought Chase would back off on his own, but she didn't expect Bernard to help him...

After taking a swig of her drink, she turned to Cedric, "Bro, I've got some work to do at my studio. I'll take off first."

Sigrid had a studio in the country where she designed various crafts. She was about to exhibit her work, so things were pretty hectic.

Cedric knew she was busy, but he couldn't let her leave just like that tonight, "You saw how Bernard stood up for him. Give him one more chance to explain."
