A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1099

"Would this be a waste of your time?"

"I have my own studio, so my schedule's pretty flexible. Plus, my craft designs are on display all around the city lately."

Once Sigrid made up her mind, she'd get right to it. So she grabbed her bag, ready to leave.

"Let's go, take me to see Jason."

Eleanor began to say, but Sigrid interrupted her.

"It's just a suggestion from me. Whether Jason agrees or not is still unknown. Don't feel pressured about it," Sigrid said.

Eleanor was only concerned about potentially causing trouble for herself. This was just an initial proposal, and whether it could be realized would depend on Jason's cooperation. Otherwise, discussing it here would be mere speculation. It would be better to first see how Jason's situation was.

Given Sigrid's response, Eleanor refrained from asking further and prepared to get up. As she glanced at the man sitting beside her, supporting his chin with his hand, she inquired, "Honey, are you coming with us?"

Bernard raised an eyebrow, displaying an indifferent expression. "No, I won't."

He had previously stated that no matter how she took care of Garett, he wouldn't mind. Since he had decided to trust her completely, he would set aside any doubts.

"Then... I'll be back home in two hours," Eleanor said, lifting her wrist with the watch in front of him and shaking it slightly.

Bernard's gaze filled with affection as he gently nodded. The four of them went downstairs, and just as Hailey was about to get into the car, Bernard called her over.

"Ms. Vulpe, can you do me a favor?" he asked.

Hailey released her grip on the car door and turned to look at Bernard. "What do you need help with?"

Bernard looked at his phone with a meaningful gaze, then spoke.

"Chase just texted me, said Cedric got drunk last night and hasn't woken up. Chase is dealing with urgent matters and doesn't have time to pick him up. He asked me to do it."

With that, Bernard paused, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "I have to go to the branch office, I don't have time either. Could you, Ms. Vulpe, help me pick him up?"

Hailey was puzzled. Anyone could do this favor, but Bernard asked only her. She was a bit at a loss.

"I..."

Before Hailey could refuse, Bernard had already sent her the address.

"Ms. Vulpe, I owe you one."

Bernard put away his phone, thanked her, and got in the car.
