Chapter 731
Up in the castle, Veronica took Blake’s hand and asked him, “Gramps, don’t you want to meet Eleanor?”
Blake Laurence, leaning on his cane, turned and snorted What’s so special about her that I should meet her?”
Seeing his reluctance, Veronica called him out “If you didn’t want to see her, you wouldn’t have come to their wedding”
Sure, he’s been lurking around, watching from a distance without showing his face But he sure did rush over at the drop of a hat when he got Eleanor’s text
Blake scoffed. “She better be pregnant if she wants to be a part of the Laurence family”
Veronica grined and said. “Gramps, you might’ve forgotten. The Laurence family is now run by Bernard You don’t have a say anymore”
Blake grt his teeth and glared at Veronica “Are you trying to get a rise out of me?”
Veronica waved it off. “Oh, I wouldn1 dare. I respect you too much”
Blake coldly said, ‘Don’t tell them I was here*
Being a man who cared about faces, Blake turned and left after his parting words.
Veronica watched the old man’s stubborn back and shook her head
They might come back from their honeymoon with a’baby That would put the old man in an awkward position.
As dusk fell and the wedding feast ended, the guests left. Eleanor and Bernard boarded a boat
Bernard had postponed his trip for a month and bought a huge ship just for this honeymoon
Rumor had it that he wanted to take her around the world But being the CEO of the Laurence Group, he only had time for a month–long trip
Before the ship set sail, Hailey, Liana, and Nina gave them the wedding gifts they’ve prepared.
Hailey and Nina’s gifts were two small suitcases, while Liana’s was a big red suitcase
Liana kept telling Eleanor to only open the luggage before bathing at night, not at any other time.
Eleanor was curious about what’s inside, seeing Liana being so mysterious
Just as she’s about to ask Liana about the gift, Hailey shoved two big suitcases at her.
“This big one is the dowry from the Laurences It’s full of bank cards”
“Each card has a password written on it. There’s probably a lot of money. You can check it out when you get back.”
This other one is your clothes and the money you prepared. Make sure you take it all”
Eleanor thought for a moment, then pushed the dowry suitcase back to Hailey
“You take this home for me. It’s not safe to take it on the trip. And also…”
Eleanor took a deep breath. “Hailey, the gifts from Garrett are too precious”
“When you get back, help me return all those transfer agreements to him.”

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...
