A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 686

Even though Hailey's annual income was over ten million and her assets were in the billions, she still felt heartbroken when she faced the possibility of losing a hundred grand.

It was not that she didn’t want to spend the money, but that it was not worth the money, because she didn’t understand why she bet with Liana? It's so naive to do that! How boring! Hailey, sitting on the sofa, hugging a cushion, was pissed at her own stupidity, which made Nina burst into laughter.

Seeing Nina's innocent and radiant smile, Liana was dumbstruck for a few seconds: "Hailey, look, Nina is laughing."

Hailey saw it too, reached out and gently pinched Nina's face: "Alright, for your laughter's sake, that money is well spent."

Liana, with her knee bent, elbow resting on her knee, and one hand propping her cheek, watched Nina.

Seeing Nina laugh and then lower her head to play with Lego, Liana yearned for something.

"Hailey, I wish I could have a baby too."

If she could have a baby, she would give the best things in the world to her child. But, she didn't have a uterus.

Liana's eyes were full of maternal warmth and hidden loss.

Seeing Liana like this, Hailey didn't know what to say for a moment, but after a few seconds, she tried to comfort her.

"Liana, have you and Will ever thought about adopting a child after getting married?"

Liana loved children so much. If she couldn't have one, why not adopt one and raise him or her as her own? Maybe it could ease some regrets.

"We have considered it. After we get married, we'll adopt one."

She hadn't thought about it that strongly, but after spending time with Nina, she really hoped to have a child, even if she can't give birth, adopting one is also good.

Liana was a strong woman. Despite her regrets, she always found a solution.
