A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 586

"Eleanor, I've got to step out for a bit this afternoon."

"Where?"

He bowed his head, planting another kiss on Eleanor's forehead. "Just hitting up the office, no biggie."

That put Eleanor somewhat at ease. Bernard then led her to the table to sit down.

Bernard whipped out his phone, dialing Aidyn to come over with backup and keep an eye on Eleanor.

Aidyn, who was at the hospital taking care of Liana, dropped everything at the nurse's hand and skedaddled over to the mansion.

With Aidyn and a bunch of bodyguards watching over Eleanor, Bernard finally took off from the villa, heading for his proposed proposal site.

Cedric, who had utterly botched Hailey's blind date, was in a rotten mood after getting chewed out by Hailey.

But no matter how foul his mood was, he still carried out Bernard's orders.

But it would be impossible for Cedric not to be jealous.

Bernard was planning a sweet proposal, while Cedric was nursing a broken heart alone!

Bernard hopped out of his Koenigsegg, striding towards the site with a posse of bodyguards in tow.

Always being a perfectionist, he scanned his surroundings.

Cedric, in a crappy mood, asked, "So, how's it look?"

"Not bad, but you look like you've been sucking on lemons."

How's a heartbroken guy supposed to look cheerful?
