Chapter 1363
“How about this, come back with me, meet the family. After that, you can decide whether or not you want to live with me.” Yates seemed to understand Eleanor’s hesitation and offered her a compromise – an introduction to the Sharp family, a chance to feel the family’s
vibe.
“Your sister’s kid, too, could come and meet the family. Let her know her mother’s maiden name is Sharp.”
After a moment of hesitation, Eleanor pushed away Yates hand, sitting upright and serious, “My sister’s child belongs to the Ziegler family, the Hooper family. Her connection to the Sharp family is two generations removed. There’s no need for her to meet the family yet, and as for me…” She paused, furrowed her brow, then relaxed her features, “I can meet the family, but I have my own home. I won’t live with you.”
Although she was currently at odds with Bernard, she had a home before him.
She had her own home, would have her own children in the future, and would naturally live with her children and Nina. There was no need to fully rejoin the Sharp family.
Yates understood what Eleanor meant and didn’t press the issue further. For him, Eleanor agreeing to meet the family was a good start, “Tomorrow then, I’ll have Peterson pick you up and we’ll go home together.”
Eleanor didn’t say much, just nodded.
Yates stood up to leave, reminding Eleanor to rest well before he left.
Eleanor took the file bag from the table, handed it to Yates for him to take back.
He said those shares were prepared long ago by his son and grandson, they were what she and Nina deserved. Indeed, in the file, besides Eleanor, there was Nina’s name. Yates was determined to make amends.
Eleanor/watched Yates stooping silhouette, thinking he was right about one thing. He said if Pauline hadn’t lied to him back then, he would have searched for Vanya no matter how far.
Yates… was not a good husband, but he was a good father. Eleanor agreed to meet the family because of this.
She notified Hailey in advance that she was going to Canada. She’d be back right after meeting the family, so the Sharp family wouldn’t bother her anymore.
Hailey had heard that Eleanor’s house was filled with things bought by the Sharp family, cluttering the place. It was indeed annoying, so the sooner Eleanor met them, the better.
However, Hailey was a bit worried and wanted to go with Eleanor, but she was too far along in her pregnancy to travel. Eleanor reassured her it’d only be a few days and she wouldn’t stay long in Canada. She asked Hailey not to worry. As the women were discussing, Cedric had already arranged for bodyguards to accompany Eleanor to Canada.
Hailey was finally reassured. Eleanor reminded Hailey to take care of herself, and said she’d pick up Nina when she got back. Upon hearing this, Hailey quickly said, “Why not wait until Bernard comes back, then take Nina? At least let him know.”
Hailey thought the two needed a medium for interaction, and Nina staying at Fiord Roundabout was the best medium.
Eleanor understood Hailey’s implication, but didn’t reply directly. She just said they’d discuss it when she got back, and they said goodnight and hung up.
The next day, Peterson arrived on time and arranged a business car to pick up Eleanor and her bodyguards. Peterson couldn’t help but smile at the sight of so many bodyguards.

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...
