A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 610

Eleanor had never met Bernard's granddad, Blake. But, she had heard plenty about him.

Word had it that Blake was so powerful during his time, even the Big Four in the M Continent had to give him a wide berth.

His determination and decisiveness had made the Laurence Group a powerhouse in markets worldwide.

Now, such a big shot suddenly came looking for her. It was likely that he was here to discuss her marriage.

Eleanor guessed that was why he was here, and she was both nervous and scared. But she put on a brave face, got herself together, and went downstairs to meet him.

Blake was wearing a suit that fit him like a glove. He leaned on a cane and stood tall in the living room. Despite being 75, this old man looked youthful, full of vim and vigor. There was a cold aura about him.

Eleanor could feel his presence even before she got close to him. She needed to muster the courage, firm up her nerves, and step up to him.

"Grandpa Blake."

She greeted him politely. Only then did Blake shift his attention from the surroundings to her. His gaze was calm and deep, as if he was scanning Eleanor from head to toe.

Eleanor felt his cold stare, and it was making her nervous. But she kept her cool and didn’t show any fear. Seeing that Blake stayed silent, she suggested they sit down, "Grandpa Blake, why don't we sit down and have a chat?"

She motioned for him to take a seat on the couch, but he waved her off, "No need, I'll just say a few words and then I'll leave."

Blake's voice was hoary, but it was still strong and compelling. You had to obey his wish.

Eleanor had no choice but to retract her hand and look up at the tall Blake, "Grandpa Blake, is there something you'd like to tell me?"
