Chapter 612
Eleanor’s complexion, which had somewhat improved under Bernard’s care, had gone pale agam She trembled, took a weak step back, her cold fingers lightly touching her lower abdomen. She and Bernard had slept together so many times but she had never shown any signs of pregnancy Could it be she couldn’t have kids?
Seeing her turn pake. Blake reminded her coldly. “Ms Shultz, The head of the Laurence family needs to have an her If you can’t bear a child, how can you be part of the Laurence famay?”
Letting the Laurence family’s leader get married to a woman without any background, low education and mability to have children, it would make the family a laughingstock. He would never let that happen!
After saying this Blake took out a check from his suit pocket, already prepared, and handed it to Eleanor
He wants to marry you with the entire Laurence family’s fortune. I wont take back what he has given you Here’s another check, you can write any amount you want on it. The only condition is that you leave him”
Kr Laurence said all this just to get her to leave. He hit her weak spot with simple words, thinking he had succeeded. He ended the conversation by giving her a check.
However, Eleanor tore up the check and handed it back to him “Sir, trying to send me away with a check will not only hurt your grandson but also make me look down on the former head of the Laurence family”
Having said this, her face gradually regained some color. As for what you said about background, education, and children Lonce rejected him for these reasons, but he said he didn’t care He said he didn’t need children, all he wanted was me by his side”
Blake was a clever man, he read between the lines. Bernard loved her deeply and couldn’t leave her. Regardless of her background, education, or children, if Bernard was willing to sacrifice for her, he would never agree to this marriage
The Laurence family had many enemies. Many from other powerful families hoped for Bernard’s death if they knew this woman could make Bernard give up everything, if they used her as leverage in the future, the Laurence family would be done for!
This was also why Mr. Laurence had always taught Bernard not to have emotions. An heir to a powerful family, devoid of emotions, would have no vulnerabilities. Without vulnerabilities, the Laurence family would endure forever.
Bernard’s father didn’t heed the advice and met a gruesome end. He didn’t want his well groomed grandson to follow in his father’s footsteps
With this thought, a cold glint flashed in Blake’s eyes When he spoke again, his voice was filled with a chill. Im not here to negotiate with you. I’m here to tell you, if you’re willing to listen to me, I’ll send you abroad for further study. If you’re not, I have to make you disappear”
Eleanor never thought Bernards grandfather would want to kill her. She was a bit scared but still bravely said, “Sir, I’m sorry. But I can’t comply with you.”
Her words were polite, but firm, causing a slight change in Blake’s expression. The girl showed some courage, but sadly she wasn’t Bernard’s ideal partner.

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...
