Chapter 737
“Nah, Vanya’s already gone
That young lady amt her
Mr. Penrod stared blankly at Eleanor, and Bernard’s expression shifted too.
“Mr. Penrod, do you know my wife?”
Mr. Penrod snapped back to reality, his eyes regnining their composure.
15 she your new wife?” Mr. Penrod shot back
“Didn’t you check her background” Bernard asked suspiciously.
Wasn’t Mr. Penrod supposed to be watching him?
How come he didn’t check the background of his wife?
Mr Penrod turned to look at Bernard, who looked on quard
“Bernard, I treat you like my own son. Why would I investigate your wife?”
The doubt in Bernard’s eyes vanished in an instant. Mr. Penrod treated him even better than his own con
As a kid, he had doubts about this, but as he grew older, he figured Mr. Penrod might be seeing him as a valuable tool
But Mr Penrod never exploited him, in fact, the tasks he gave him were aimed at giving him an advantage in the business world
As Bernard was deep in thought, Mr. Penrod patted his shoulder again
Bernard, your new wife looks exactly like Vanya of the Pine family”
“Didn’t you check her background before you married her?”
Bernard froze, slowly turning to look at Eleanor.
The woman on the ship saw him looking at her and immediately waved to him
“Shes an orphan, she has nothing to do with the Pine family”
Even if she did, what of it? She’s his wife, their love can’t be stopped by anyone
“You better be clear, don’t let your wife be driven to death by the Laurence family too!
After hearing this, Bernard’s expression stiffened, his eyebrows furrowed.
“What do you mean ‘too?”
Did the Laurence family drive someone’s wife to death before?
“Wait till my chess game is over, and you’ll know who was driven to death”
Mr. Penrod, as if posing a riddle, put his hat back on and patted Bernard’s shoulder again
“Bernard Ill come for you in six months. Don’t forget what you promised me.”
With that, Mr Penrod turned and walked into the ship
Watching his composed figure, Bernards brow furrowed even more
He returned to his own ship, handed the gun back to Caleb, who called out to him
“Mr. Laurence, Atte just sent me Mrs. Laurences background.”
Caleb handed his phone to Bernard
“All the info is in this file. Have a look”
Bernard looked down at the phone, and seeing “the Pine family, he felt Lke he was plunged into an ice cave
He took the phone ready to continue reading, but a gentle voice sounded from behind 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...
