Chapter 633
Eleanor was working her butt off for her wedding gifts, doing her best to finish the designs, but no matter how fast she pedaled, she couldn’t beat the impending wedding day She ended up only designing eight architectural drawings and when she handed them over to Pearce, she was worn to the bone “Go finalize the handover and turn these into cash ASAP
Pearce was sat at his desk, munching an apple while eyeing Eleanor “You’re about to marry the richest dude in the whole A Country, why are you busting your chops?”
If he was mamed off to a wealthy woman, he wouldnt even glance at the golden paintbrush, someone else would be footing the bill, he wouldn’t need to lift a finger to draw
Eleanor, sprawled on the table peeking at the PPT for the next project, murmured “Mr Hooper, Ineed to get my wedding gifts ready”
She was going it alone without any family and since someone was taking her as his wife, she wanted to do it with some dignity
Thinking of her wedding. Eleanor immediately raised her eyes towards Pearce’s pocket “M. Hooper, the Laurence Group project brought in a billion, you took a 30% cut you’re not strapped for cash, right? Could you
lend me some”
Pearce immediately clutched his pocket. “Don’t even think about my money. I’m not short of anything except money, you think too highly of me if you expect me to lend money?
Eleanor reached out snatched the apple from his hand “No borrowing, no eating my apple
Pearce was left speechless Just as he was reaching for the fruit plate on the table, Eleanor scooped it up and put it on the floor
Halley recently got a pug that’d been tailing Eleanor Seeing her drop the fruit, it pounced on it, licking it all over.
Pearce thought, an orange licked by a dog, if peeled should still be edible, right?
While Pearce was caught between disgust and hunger, Eleanor bent over, shooed the pug, and scolded it: “Pippy, do not eat everything you see!”
Somehow, hearing the name, Pearce suddenly lost his appetite
Hailey gave the dog a name close to his own. So naive He thought about buying a similar pug and naming it Hally for symmetry
Just as Pearce was secretly disgruntled about Hailey’s way of doing things, Marina’s voice came from outside the door-
“Ms Shultz, there’s a Mr. Casey looking for you”
Casey? Who the hell was Casey?
Eleanor looked puzzled, she turned to Pearce “Do you know him?”
Pearce shrugged, spreading his hands. “No clue. I’m just a guy without an apple“”

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...
