A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 691

His presence was enough to keep others from picking on her. With just a simple word, he got Nina to stop crying instantly.

"I am going to send a bouquet to my parents."

She had seen people in the royal family die, and they also put a bouquet of flowers in front of the tombstone. Her parents were gone, so as their only child, it was her duty to bring them flowers.

At Bernard's gesture, someone immediately fetched a large bouquet. It was somewhat heavy, but Nina managed to hold it.

Bernard opened the car door for Nina and, tiredly, got out himself.

Seeing this, Caleb quickly intervened. "Sir, don't go. The Zieglers won't let you off the hook."

Bernard, hand on the car door, replied to Caleb. "They wouldn't dare."

If they had the guts to lay a finger on him, they would have done so when they found out his flight details, no need to wait till now.

As Bernard was about to head for the cemetery, a small hand suddenly caught his...

He looked down at the child struggling to hold his hand and without hesitation, he brushed her off.

He then looked into her innocent eyes and emotionlessly said, "Remember, only your aunt can touch me."

Nina huffed in annoyance and sprinted towards her aunt.

She had decided not to bother with Bernard anymore, yet here she was again initiating conversation.

This time, Nina vowed to herself, she would remember not to talk to him again.

Nina, flowers in hand, weaved through the crowd to her aunt's side.

Her appearance shocked the Ziegler family. They all stared at the little girl.
