Chapter 1370
Eleanor didn’t reply, and Robin waited a moment before chuckling softly. “Don’t worry, my uncle has always been good to me since I was a kid. He won’t harm me.”
Yet, Sheldon, knowing full well that he was the Vice President of the Premier Entrepreneurs’ League, was still assisting the Area Opaca; if he found evidence to confirm this, their positions would be antagonistic.
Robin was more concerned about how to convince Sheldon to leave Area Opaca and how to resolve its existence. But these matters had nothing to do with Eleanor, so he didn’t share them with her.
Eleanor’s concern was still Bernard. But Robin hadn’t gotten any information about Bernard from Sheldon, so she didn’t ask him. After a moment of silence, the stylist walked in with a gown. Eleanor told him to take care of Katharine, then hung up the phone, and the stylist quickly changed her into the latest fashion gown.

Eleanor, inheriting the Sharp family’s excellent genes, had beautiful eyes and a peachy complexion, accentuated by her elegant demeanor.
Her overall appearance was graceful and relaxed, and the champagne-colored gown made her delicate and glorious.
The Sharp brothers rose to their feet when she appeared.
“From the first moment I saw you, I thought you were stunning. But now all dolled up, you’re an absolute knockout.”
“It’s a shame we didn’t grow up together, otherwise, you would have been our little porcelain doll, growing up under our protection.”
The first comment was Bevis’ astonishment, the second was Antoine’s regret. Only Peterson remained silent, quietly observing her.
Standing in front of the mirror, Faustina approached. “Eleanor, if you’re interested, you could join Antoine and become a model for DK.”
Eleanor admired this independent and strong woman and spoke with a touch of respect. “My dream is to start a company like yours.”
Antoine, with his arms crossed and leaning casually, immediately chimed in, “Then you can hire me as a model. I promise to make your products shine.”
Eleanor displayed a troubled expression. “But I’m an architect. I can’t exactly plaster your photo all over construction sites, can I?”
The smile on Antoine’s lips froze. “I take back my previous statement.”
He stopped smiling, but Eleanor began to laugh. This was her first real laugh since she arrived in Canada, and it made the Sharp brothers laugh along too.
With her makeover complete and the dinner hour approaching, the brothers escorted Eleanor home. Yates’ house had already been decorated by their uncles.
It was all pink, like a little girl’s birthday party, although Eleanor was about to become a mother. Yet, the Sharp family still treated her like a little princess.
Eleanor knew they were trying to make up for her lost childhood, but as she’d said, the joy of receiving something you wanted as a child diminishes when you receive it as an adult.
Compared to the bustling Sharp family, her demeanor was much calmer. It seemed as though she was just waiting to go through the motions of a ceremony. Once it was over, she would return home.
The dinner started, and many people attended. There were relatives of the Sharp family, aristocrats from North Funland, all were influential people. Yates introduced Eleanor
to everyone.
Perhaps having heard about her future plan from Faustina, Yates made it clear to everyone during the introductions that Eleanor was an architect.

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...
