A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1254

Chapter 1254 

Eleanor watched Peterson disappear behind the study door, and immediately lowered her voice to Pearce, “Mr. Hooper, Peterson’s very cautious, keep your guard up.” 

Pearce rubbed his wrist, nonchalantly replying, “That’s how these people roll. If you act too careful, it’ll only make him more suspicious. So just chill.” 

Having dealt with more big families on project surveys than Eleanor, Pearce’s experience was far richer. 

Taking his words to heart, Eleanor began to relax, and started observing the surroundings. 

The house was modestly designed, it didn’t seem overly luxurious, rather more like a typical well-off family home. 

The only thing that stood out were the vintage photos on the wall. 

They looked really old, and each one was only half a photo. 

It was like when she misunderstood Garett back in the day, she cut out his half of the photo with scissors, leaving only her and Hailey. 

The man in the photos bore some resemblance to Peterson. Judging by the age of the photos, the man should be Yates. 

And the owner of this house was Yates’ first love, so the person who cut the photos should be Peterson’s first love. 

Eleanor was a bit puzzled. Why only leave Yates’ photos in her own house, but cut out her own? 

Pearce leaned in and whispered, “There’s one more secret, Peterson just said his grandma passed away, but he’s lying.” 

Eleanor frowned in surprise, “His grandma didn’t die?” 

Pearce shook his head, “His grandma did die, but she wasn’t his real grandma. As for who his real grandma is, I’m not sure.” 

Eleanor said in disbelief, “You’re not even sure yourself, why tell me?” 

Pearce shrugged, “Isn’t it juicy?” 

Eleanor scoffed, “You don’t even know who Peterson’s real grandma is, and you dare call it juicy?” 

Pearce scratched his head, “Let me think… Ethan did tell me, but I was playing a game at the time, didn’t catch it clearly…” 

Ethan always thoroughly checked every project Emilia took on, to avoid dealing with the bad apples in the Sharp family, hence he knew in detail about every project. 

Ethan was a pro at digging up info, he could uncover not only family secrets, but even minor past events. 

Back then, Ethan would tell Pearce the stories behind each project, but Pearce was always too busy with his games. 

Pearce thought hard, and finally remembered a name, “I think it’s… Andonisus…” 

Eleanor frowned, That’s weird name.” 

Pearce thought for a while, then laughed awkwardly, “Sorry, that’s the name of a hero in the game I play.” 

Then, he mimicked a move from the game, “Andonisus, Reaper of Souls.” 

Eleanor was speechless…
