Chapter 586
“Eleanor, I’ve got to step out for a bit this afternoon.”
“Where?”
He bowed his head, planting another kiss on Eleanor’s forehead “Just hitting up the office, no biggie”
That put Eleanor somewhat at ease. Bernard then led her to the table to sit down
Bernard whipped out his phone, dialing Aidyn to come over with backup and keep an eye on Eleanor
Aidyn, who was at the hospital taking care of Liana, dropped everything at the nurse’s hand and skedaddled over to the mansion
With Adyn and a bunch of bodyguards watching over Eleanor, Bernard finally took off from the villa, heading for his proposed proposal site
Cedric, who had utterly botched Hailey’s blind date, was in a rotten mood after getting chewed out by Hailey.
But no matter how foul his mood was, he still carried out Bernard’s orders.
But it would be impossible for Cedric not to be jealous.
Bernard was planning a sweet proposal, while Cedric was nursing a broken heart alone!
Bernard hopped out of his Koenigsegg, striding towards the site with a posse of bodyguards in tow.
Always being a perfectionist, he scanned his surroundings.
Cedric, in a c****y mood, asked, “So, how’s it look?”
“Not bad, but you look like you’ve been sucking on lemons”
How’s a heartbroken guy supposed to look cheerful?
Cedric was about to start a fight with Bernard when he was shut down with one sentence.
When I’m popping the question, don’t show your face. I don’t want to spoil the mood.”
Like hed want to be there!
Cedric left in a huff.
Bernard didn’t give a rat’s a**s, focusing on the proposal site.
Feeling like something was amiss, he made another call, and a group of programmers hustled over.
On the day Liana was discharged, Hailey arrived on time to fetch Eleanor
“Eleanor, Liana’s holding a recovery banquet, let’s s***p the hospital and head straight to the dinner.”
With that. Hailey pulled out a custom-made evening gown from a fancy paper bag and handed it to Eleanor: “Wear this, it’s perfect for you.”

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...
