A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1241

Seeing Eleanor fall silent, Elbert patted his hair and struck a pose he thought was terribly cool in front of her. He then strolled past them into the hall.

Silent all this while, Caleb nervously dragged Katharine over to Bernard. "Mr. Laurence, my wife's family... they're a bit odd. I hope you understand."

Before Bernard could respond, Katharine slapped Caleb. "Who are you calling odd?!"

Caleb, clutching his cheek, turned to Bernard with a pitiful look as if to say: Sir, you think they're normal?

Bernard averted his gaze, pretending not to see. Caleb got the message. This was his choice, so he had to bear with it

Disheartened, Caleb was dragged by Katharine into the wedding hall. "Wow, it's so beautiful in here, Caleb. I want a wedding just like this. No, I want a wedding even more beautiful than this..."

Despite being slapped, Caleb agreed to all of Katharine's demands, "Alright, whatever kind of wedding you want, I'll make it happen, as long as it makes you happy..."

Katharine, holding onto Caleb's arm, smiled blissfully. "I knew it! You're the best to me. How about this, after we get married, I'll have a chubby baby for you!"

Watching Caleb and Katharine's retreating figures, warmth gradually returned to Bernard's cold gaze. Caleb had a home, Aidyn had returned to the Howell family with his wife, Cedric was also married. Everyone important had someone to lean on, he could rest easy. But...

Bernard raised his lean, strong hand and stroked Eleanor's hair. He didn't know if the assets he'd left behind were enough, whether 30% of the stock was enough, whether Scott, whom he'd arranged to stay by her side, could protect her well, and whether his younger brothers would keep their promise to protect her...

Feeling Bernard's unusual mood, Eleanor hugged his waist and snuggled into his arms. "Honey, Robin and Elbert are just trying to rile you up. Don't take it to heart."
