Chapter 730
Pearce was far from pleased when he heard George’s words. He retorted, “Yeah, I did suggest taking the ferry. But you didn’t object, did you? And would we have gotten into trouble if you hadn’t hit on a girl on the ferry?”
George was so angry that his lips were trembling You you you didn’t you flirt with a girl too?”
Pearce firmly denied 11 say it again, I didn’t hit on her. She came onto me!
George gritted his teeth and said. “Whats the difference? The trouble was all because you insisted on taking the ferry!”
Seeing that the two were about to go at each other’s throats, Eleanor stepped in and pulled George away, saying. “You should be prepared for problems when you’re with Pearce
Seeing Eleanor’s experienced demeanor, George felt like he had found someone to confide in He complained,
1 can handle problems. But he only brought ten thousand bucks, and the robber wanted nine thousand nine hundred and ninety–nine of it. He even insisted on giving the guy an extra dollar And I got beaten up because of it.”
Pearce couldnt be bothered to argue with them. He asked Eleanor. “Has the wedding started?”
Eleanor pointed to the setting sun and said. “The sun’s going down, what do you think?”
Pearce simply replied, “What a pity, I missed it.”
There was a hint of regret in his eyes, but it vanished quickly.
“Since I missed the wedding, I don’t have to give a gift, right?”
“You still have to give a gift, whether you attend or not You’re not going to be stingy about this too, are you?”
Hailey had already busted Pearce before Eleanor could respond
Pearce glared at Hailey, then turned to Eleanor with an awkward smile
“Sorry, my gift money got stolen. I don’t even have money for a flight home. I might need your help”
Liana couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Pearce was really an interesting guy
Liana’s laughter made Pearce even more embarrassed. George also felt awkward.
“Uh metoo”
After saying this, George patted his chest and vowed, “I’ll make it up to you when I get back!”
Eleanor didn’t care about the gift, she smiled and said to them, “it’s okay, as long as you guys are safe”
George insisted. “But I still want to give you a gift, what do you say, Pearce?”
Pearce glanced at George and said if you want to give, then give. Why drag me into it? Do I look rich to you?
But in front of others, Pearce nodded and said, “Dr George, you’re right. We should definitely give!”

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...
