A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 828

At the airport, when the private jet smoothly landed, Bernard looked down at the woman dozing off in his arms.

"Mrs. Laurence, we're home."

Eleanor opened her eyes, groggily taking in the scenery outside the window. The setting sun was still blazing with a golden glow that was somewhat dazzling.

Bernard shielded her eyes, blocking the harsh light, then turned to the man sitting in front.

"So, you're not leaving the plane. You want to hitch a ride home with us?"

The man in front put down his gaming console, turned around, and gave Bernard a cautious glance.

"I can drive you guys home."

"No need."

Bernard gave Cedric a cold glance. The frost in his eyes gave Aidyn the chills.

Word on the street was that Bernard and Mrs. Laurence's honeymoon had been less than stellar. Their planned romantic getaway turned into a packed group tour.

During the first half of the month, an adventurous youngster named Elbert Pine made his presence known, dragging along his partner in mischief, Sheldon Pine. The chaos they caused left poor Mrs. Laurence seeking refuge behind a fortress of scarves.

As the month progressed into its second half, Cedric joined the group, seeking an escape from personal drama, much to Bernard's displeasure. The perpetual scowl on Bernard's face grew even deeper.

To make matters worse, Cedric seemed to possess an innate understanding of women's needs that eluded Bernard. While Eleanor went shopping, Bernard remained clueless about female products, whereas Cedric boasted an impressive knowledge of the big brands, exquisite taste, and an uncanny ability to charm with his words...

He would say things like, "Eleanor, you look stunning in that." "This brand is like made for you." "Trust me, this color is perfect for your skin tone." These comments made Bernard feel like a third wheel.

Aidyn still remembered how Bernard could only stand by the door with his hands in his pockets, watching as Cedric helped Eleanor pick out gifts, while the shop assistants mistook Bernard for the head of security and hung all the shopping bags on him...

Thinking back, Aidyn still felt the shivers. Yet, Cedric managed to win Mrs. Laurence's favor, smoothly joined the group, and somehow dodged any harsh lecture from Bernard. Lucky guy.

After being rejected by Bernard, Cedric ignored him and turned to Eleanor.

"Eleanor…"

Even though Cedric was a pain, he always had a smile on his face.
