A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 723

Hailey noticed Veronica was pretty strict when it came to raising kids. She reckoned that if Eleanor could marry into such a family, it would be a jackpot.

The other relatives were all very friendly. As Eleanor's sister, she had to do a good job educating Nina too.

Hailey gently pinched Nina's cheek.

"Nina, you also said some nasty stuff to Israel. After Israel's punishment, you should apologize. Otherwise, he might feel it's not fair."

Israel started it by messing with Nina's flower crown, but Nina was the first to throw insults. That kicked off the fight between the two kids.

Nina was a good listener when it came to Hailey; she nodded obediently and said, "I will apologize."

With that, the kids' squabble was settled. Veronica stood up, giving Hailey an approving look while praising her.

Then Veronica's gaze landed on the woman standing next to Cedric.

Compared to Cedric's old flame, Veronica liked Hailey better. It's just a shame Cedric was so flaky and always seemed to have his head in the clouds.

He knew full well his parents didn't approve of him being with his ex, but he still brought her to the wedding. Who knew what he was thinking.

Cedric couldn't take his eyes off Hailey. But Hailey didn't glance back at him once; she just pushed Nina and Israel inside.

After Nina and Israel arrived in front of Eleanor and Bernard with their little flower baskets, they bowed and said, "Sorry, we're late."

Eleanor and Bernard exchanged amused glances, smiling: "No worries, the bells haven't rung yet. The wedding hasn't started."

As if on cue, a castle worker standing on high ground gently rang the bell three times, signaling the start of the wedding.

Eleanor, holding onto Bernard's arm with one hand and her bouquet with the other, began to walk towards the ceremony platform to the sound of cheerful music.

Her wedding dress trailed on the carpet, stirring up a flurry of pink rose petals, adding a pop of color to the pure white dress.

Behind them were the bridesmaids Hailey and Liana, the best man Cedric, and Matthew Laurence, who had flown in from Africa.

The priest at the platform, holding the scriptures, asked after his wedding speech:

"Groom, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, in youth and in old age, are you willing to care for her for life, never to part?"

Bernard, who had been looking at Eleanor all the while, had a determined look in his eyes when he heard this.

"Absolutely."
