A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 720

Hailey, seeing them bickering over a gift, stepped forward, took the bag, looked at them, and said, "I'll hold this for you guys. Whether you want it or not, we'll talk about it after the wedding. Don't waste time."

Hailey's reminder made Eleanor firm in her decision and eased the tension on the Laurences' faces.

Bernard glanced at Garrett again, seeing the man in the wheelchair unabashedly staring at Eleanor.

He felt a bit uncomfortable and sympathetic. These complex emotions made him feel irritated.

He simply took Eleanor's hand and headed for the backyard.

Eleanor followed behind him and quietly asked, "Are you getting jealous again?"

Bernard, full of pride in his voice, said, "Me, jealous?"

He would never tell her that his heart almost broke when she ignored him and walked toward Garrett.

Eleanor glanced at the hand tightly holding hers, and a happy smile appeared on her lips.

He's afraid of her leaving but wouldn't admit it. He's like a proud peacock who won't acknowledge it.

She looked up at Bernard's handsome side and said, "Peacock, where are we getting married?"

Bernard lowered his head, furrowed his brows, and asked, "What peacock?"

Eleanor dropped the hand that was holding her dress and patted his arm. "It's the nickname I just came up with for you. Do you like it?"

Bernard, who had been annoyed by her twice on their wedding day, pinched her cheek and said, "You wait, you'll regret it tonight."

Eleanor lifted her chin and moved closer to him. "If you don't like it, we can switch to 'jealous king'."

Bernard: ...

Eleanor hugged his arm and shook it. "Quick, tell me, where are we getting married?"

The man looked at her acting cute, and his unsettled heart found comfort in "Ireland."

Ireland is a place where divorce is forbidden.

Choosing such a place was to tell her: In his marriage, there's no divorce; only death do us part.

They both, dressed in white wedding attire, laughed heartily and walked toward the lawn.
