A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 961

Chase muttered a "thank you" and turned his gaze to Sigrid and Peterson. "Think they can nail it in one go?"

Before he finished, Sigrid was up on her feet, exclaiming, "Holy cow, you actually did it!"

Standing behind her, Peterson had one hand in his pocket, a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked towards the field. "Saved you five million. How're you gonna thank me?"

Sigrid's youthful face lit up with a beaming smile. "How about I treat you to bungee jumping considering you've been helping me practice these last few days?"

Peterson took a good look at petite Sigrid. "I never figured you for an extreme sports fan, Ms. Laurence."

Sigrid, with her baseball cap askew, flashed him a sweet smile. "I didn't like it at first. But someone used to tag me along..."

At this, her smile seemed to freeze a bit.

Peterson noticed her change of expression. "Someone you cared about?"

Sigrid hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. "Yeah, but that’s all in the past."

Peterson nodded, understanding.

When Sigrid saw his nonchalant response, she couldn't help but ask, "What about you? Ever had a crush?"

Without hesitation, Peterson admitted, "At my age? Definitely."

"Why aren't you together?"

"She's married. How could we be together?"

Sigrid had been expecting a tragic love story, but who would've thought Peterson's crush was a married woman?

Seeing her widening eyes and her attempt to suppress her reaction, Peterson's lips curved up into a slight grin.

"You seriously bought that?"
