A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 730

Pearce was far from pleased when he heard George's words. He retorted, "Yeah, I did suggest taking the ferry. But you didn't object, did you? And would we have gotten into trouble if you hadn't hit on a girl on the ferry?"

George was so angry that his lips were trembling. "You...you...you...didn't you flirt with a girl too?"

Pearce firmly denied, "I'll say it again, I didn't hit on her. She came onto me!"

George gritted his teeth and said, "What's the difference? The trouble was all because you insisted on taking the ferry!"

Seeing that the two were about to go at each other's throats, Eleanor stepped in and pulled George away, saying, "You should be prepared for problems when you're with Pearce."

Seeing Eleanor's experienced demeanor, George felt like he had found someone to confide in. He complained,

"I can handle problems. But he only brought ten thousand bucks, and the robber wanted nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine of it. He even insisted on giving the guy an extra dollar. And I got beaten up because of it."

Pearce couldn't be bothered to argue with them. He asked Eleanor, "Has the wedding started?"

Eleanor pointed to the setting sun and said, "The sun's going down; what do you think?"

Pearce simply replied, "What a pity, I missed it."

There was a hint of regret in his eyes, but it vanished quickly.

"Since I missed the wedding, I don't have to give a gift, right?"

"You still have to give a gift, whether you attend or not. You're not going to be stingy about this too, are you?"

Hailey had already busted Pearce before Eleanor could respond.

Pearce glared at Hailey, then turned to Eleanor with an awkward smile.
