Chapter 1046
Through the expansive window, Peterson observed as the pair outside diverged into separate paths. He gave the drink in his hand a gentle swirl, remarking. So, they’ve
finally chosen their different roads”
Bernard trailed his gaze, casting a glance through the window There was a slight change in his expression, though it wasn’t unexpected
“My sister has always been firm about her desires,” he noted, his voice carrying a hint of admiration and perhaps, resignation “She relentlessly pursues what she wants and once it’s no longer necessary, she doesnt falter in letting go- be it material possessions of emotions.”
Peterson raised his glass in a nonchalant toast, taking a subtle sip A hint of a smile traced his lips. “You knew I’d witness this scene, yet you still chose this venue What’s your angle?”
He was, after all, in the midst of discussing a possible marriage alliance with Sigrid Under such circumstances, wouldn’t it have been more prudent for Bernard to shield her past?
“Anything hidden is bound to be revealed sooner or later I would prefer that you learn about this from me rather than from a less reliable source.” Bernard asserted.
His gaze drifted back to the window, focusing on the figure making its way to a car.
“As for whether you want to continue with the marriage after knowing this, that’s up to you,”
Peterson’s smile deepened
“My decision isn’t what matters, it’s all up to your sister”
With that, Peterson gave Bernard a thoughtful look
“Honestly, I quite like your attitude. It’s just a shame you’re a man”
Bernard scowled disgust flashing in his eyes Seeing this, Peterson burst into laughter.
“I’m just messing with you, I don’t have a specific preference for gender.”
Bernard set his glass down heavily on the table, his face cold
“The last person who claimed they didn’t have a gender preference ended up falling for my wife.”
Peterson suddenly became interested, leaning forward slightly
“Who’s got the guts to make a move on your wife?”
Bernard, lounging on the sofa, shot him a cold glance but didn’t answer
Peterson wasn’t upset. He muttered to himself, “I guess your wife must be quite a looker. Is that why you’re keeping her hidden and not letting me see her?”
Bernard heard what Peterson was implying, but he didn’t care and had no intention of explaining.
He withdrew his cold gaze and stood up. “You’ll see her after you marry Sigrid”
Interesting To meet Bernard’s wife, he’d have to marry his sister first. Talk about a catch.
Watching Bernard’s carefree figure, Peterson couldn’t help but smirk.
In the box downstairs, Chase didn’t return. Only Sigrid did.
When Cedric saw this, he knew they hadn’t made up
He greeted Eleanor, then grabbed his coat to look for Chase.
He thought Chase would have driven off, but found him sitting on the slope, staring up at the sky.
Cedric sat down next to him. “Did you tell her everything?”
Chase nodded Cedric asked, “Didn’t my sister forgive you?”
Chase’s eyes were red, tinged with pain “She forgave me.”
Signd had forgiven him, but she no longer loved him.
Cedric was about to ask more, but Chase cut him off “If you really have feelings for Ms. Vulpe, don’t wait until things have settled down to find her. Over time, your feelings
might fade”
Cedric was taken aback, then said firmly. “I don’t have feelings for her anymore.”
Chase chuckled “Really? Why don’t you ask your heart?”
Cedric thought Chase was uding him as a punching bag because he couldn’t win back Sigrid He got up to leave but heard Chase’s voice behind him. “If you’ve investigated Bernice, give the evidence to Ms. Vulpe as soon as possible. Don’t delay_
in his life, hed lost the woman he loved. He didn’t want his only friend to end up like him. “And after you win back Ms. Vulpe, remember to convince your parents. Don’t let
her end up like me

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
