A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 750

Hailey's worry about Garett had her in no mood for the party, but thinking about how long Liana had been planning this for her, she decided to go anyway.

After freshening up at home, she slipped into a champagne-coloured evening dress that was more understated and comfy than outright fancy.

She grabbed her purse, hopped in her car, and before long, she was at the Sea Cloud Hotel.

In the banquet hall, under dim lights, men and women in formal wear and evening gowns, wine glasses in hand, stood in little clusters, chatting with smiles.

As the music started, Hailey's gloomy mood lifted a bit.

She snapped a photo of the banquet hall and sent it to Garett:

[Garett, my blind dating journey has commenced. Look, I've been through a failed marriage and came out the other side, you can do it too.]

This bit of encouragement, though not exactly earth-shattering, managed to put a smile on Garett's face.

The guy in B City, wheelchair-bound, replied with an 'OK'emoji after reading the heartwarming message.

Only then did Hailey relax, sliding her phone back into her purse and heading further into the hall.

This party was a blind dating event Liana had arranged specifically for Aidyn and her.

Aidyn had arrived earlier, dressed in a light grey suit, sitting straight as an arrow on the couch, his hands on his knees, looking like he was at a job interview as he scrutinized the female doctor across from him.

"I've got a villa in the city, plus about a dozen apartments."

"I've got a few luxury cars as well. Assets-wise, we're talking eight figures."

"That's where I'm at. Any questions?"
