A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 731

Up in the castle, Veronica took Blake's hand and asked him, "Gramps, don't you want to meet Eleanor?"

Blake Laurence, leaning on his cane, turned and snorted. "What's so special about her that I should meet her?"

Seeing his reluctance, Veronica called him out: "If you didn't want to see her, you wouldn't have come to their wedding."

Sure, he's been lurking around, watching from a distance without showing his face. But he sure did rush over at the drop of a hat when he got Eleanor's text.

Blake scoffed, "She better be pregnant if she wants to be a part of the Laurence family."

Veronica grined and said, "Gramps, you might've forgotten. The Laurence family is now run by Bernard. You don't have a say anymore."

Blake grit his teeth and glared at Veronica. "Are you trying to get a rise out of me?"

Veronica waved it off: "Oh, I wouldn't dare. I respect you too much."

Blake coldly said, "Don't tell them I was here."

Being a man who cared about faces, Blake turned and left after his parting words.

Veronica watched the old man's stubborn back and shook her head.

They might come back from their honeymoon with a baby. That would put the old man in an awkward position.

As dusk fell and the wedding feast ended, the guests left. Eleanor and Bernard boarded a boat.

Bernard had postponed his trip for a month and bought a huge ship just for this honeymoon.

Rumor had it that he wanted to take her around the world. But being the CEO of the Laurence Group, he only had time for a month-long trip.

Before the ship set sail, Hailey, Liana, and Nina gave them the wedding gifts they've prepared.

Hailey and Nina's gifts were two small suitcases, while Liana's was a big red suitcase.

Liana kept telling Eleanor to only open the luggage before bathing at night, not at any other time.
