Chapter 1242
Eleanor couldn’t help but laugh, recalling how Hailey had been left speechless by these two Als earlier, “Honey, why doesn’t your company design the robots to be a bit more appealing?”
Just then, the Al representing Cedric was welcoming Bernard, “Welcome, welcome, welco…”
Bernard turned it off mid-sentence, its mouth wide open, revealing a mess of wires. His face hardened. “Cedric rushed the process, didn’t even complete the basic construction, just slapped on the Lawrence Group label.”
Eleanor was talking about appearance, Bernard was talking about internal construction – they were on different wavelengths. Eleanor didn’t say anything more, just squeezed his arm, “So honey, you should make a robot just like you.”
Bernard looked at Eleanor, “Why?”
Eleanor tiptoed and poked his cheek, grinning, “Because, I want a husband who says welcome to me all day long…”
Bernard chuckled, “I’ll make a robot you won’t even recognize as not being me.”
Eleanor figured he wouldn’t be able to pull that off and didn’t take him seriously, just replied with a simple ‘okay’.
The emcee then took the stage, announcing the start of the ocean wedding ceremony, asking guests to take their seats as they waited for the bride and groom.
After telling Bernard that she was going to find Hailey, Eleanor headed to the rest room. Hailey was sitting in front of the mirror taking deep breaths, but still couldn’t shake off her nerves.
Seeing Eleanor, Hailey couldn’t help but say, “I’ve been married once already, and I should be used to this. Why am I so nervous, is it because I’m inexperienced?”
Eleanor chuckled at Hailey’s words, walked over, and took her hand, “Hailey, your nerves are because you are about to marry the man you love, in front of his family, walking down the aisle, exchanging rings, making vows.”
Hailey thought it made sense, but her nerves were still there, “Do you think I’ll trip over my wedding dress and fall when I get on stage?”
Eleanor comforted Hailey, “No, even if you fall, Cedric will be there, he’ll definitely catch you.”
Hailey frowned, “Really?”
But Cedric didn’t catch her, instead, he fell down with Hailey. They had barely managed to help each other up when Cedric’s cufflink got caught in Hailey’s veil Probably because he didn’t notice, when Cedric pulled his hand away from Hailey’s waist, he pulled down the veil covering Hailey’s face.
Seeing this, the guests were stunned. Eleanor covered her face, didn’t bear to look. Luckily, the emcee was quick to lighten up the mood. “It’s clear the bride and groom are truly in love, they’re just really nervous today.”
However, as soon as the emcee finished, Hailey and Cedric fell again, this time on their knees.

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...
