A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1009

Chapter 1009 

As he said this, someone happened to pass by and seemed to overhear. They shot the two of them a weird look. Eleanor’s round face tumed all red and she quickly said, “Shut up, will you…” 

She covered his mouth with her hand and said loudly, “Weren’t you the quiet type before? How come you’re so chatty now?” 

Bernard opened his mouth to reply, but she slapped her hand back over his mouth. “No more talking, zip it!” 

As this couple was playfully arguing. Aidyn arrived at the hotel with the bride and everyone in the banquet hall took their seats. 

The emcee took the stage, filling the atmosphere with cheer. He gave a long speech full of wedding blessings before inviting the newlyweds onto the stage. 

As the spotlight hit the bride, she glowed softly, making Dr. Naylor look like a fairy descended from heaven. 

She stood at the other end of the aisle, beaming, elegant and gracious, waiting for her handsome groom to come to her… 

Aidyn, holding roses, dressed in a black tuxedo, hair slicked back, looked full of energy as he approached Dr. Naylor. 

After handing her the flowers, he took her hand, and under the accompaniment of the wedding music, they walked down the aisle towards the stage. 

All the lights swept over the guests and landed on the newlyweds as they exchanged rings, made their vows, kissed, and popped the champagne. 

Then, they began to have a good time. 

Caleb and Scott were the most boisterous… 

They were having a great time, even rushing down to the audience to try and drag Bernard on stage for a performance. 

Bernard gave them a cold look and they immediately stopped. 

Pearce Hooper, sitting next to Eleanor, looked like he wanted to give it a try, he pulled a grin and said, “I’ll give it a go…” 

Pearce had bullied Aidyn a few times before, Scott knew about this, “Go ahead, aren’t you afraid Aidyn will punch you off the stage?” 

Pearce put on a stiff smile that he thought was friendly. “Today is a special day, so he won’t lay a hand on me, don’t worry.” 

It’s just a challenge to down a line of champagne, not a big deal. All he needed to do was offer a small gold bar as a prize… 

Prepared, Pearce ignored Scott and Caleb’s warnings and stormed onto the stage. 

The stage was full of people messing around, but when he got up there, it turned into a competition between him and Aidyn. They competed to drink lines of champagne, with each line adding a gold bar. Pearce gave it his all, knocking Aidyn out in the end, taking a stack of gold bars and wobbling off the stage… 

Aidyn, on the other hand, just passed out and had to be helped into the car by the bride. Apparently, Pearce’s antics ruined their wedding night. Dr. Naylor bore a grudge against Pearce, mocking him every time she saw him. 

After the wedding, the guests left one after another, and Liana sighed in relief watching the departing crowd. 

She couldn’t settle down and have kids, but her cousin could, and that was enough happiness for her. 

Liana’s only wish was for Aidyn to stay by Mr. Laurence’s side, hoping he would always be happy and safe. 

After bidding farewell to Eleanor and Liana, Hailey decided to leave first. As she stood up, she noticed a man sitting in a wheelchair at the other end of the VIP section. 

He was dressed in a white shirt, which gave his face a more mature and composed appearance than usual. In the past, he would have been the most active and lively person at such events, but this time, he seemed subdued, sitting quietly. 

He looked thinner, and his tall figure appeared somewhat frail. Though his complexion had improved, it still retained a slight paleness. 

Cedric noticed that the crowd had mostly dispersed, so he maneuvered his wheelchair around to where Hailey was waiting for the crowd to clear. Their eyes met, and rather than avoiding each other, they simply stared.
