Chapter 770
Elbert, having this idea, felt a little excited and pointed at the rules on the wall.
“How about we follow the casino’s rules and decide by drawing lots whose proposal to accept?”
Bernard withdrew his gun, handed it to his bodyguard, and then coldly looked at Elbert.
“I am the rules!”
Bernard didn’t give two hoots about other people’s rules; he was the rule himself!
This was the first time Elbert had met such a capricious person. He couldn’t help but chuckle.
“True to the Laurence family’s boss, so domineering. But this isn’t the Laurence Group! If you’re here, you should follow the casino’s rules. Otherwise, what’s the point of this game?”
Elbert wasn’t about to back down; even though the game hadn’t started, it seemed he was already squaring off with Bernard.
Eleanor glanced at Bernard, saw him coldly staring at Elbert, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and she sighed inside.
If it weren’t for Elbert having saved her once, Bernard would’ve already made his move. There was no way he’d let Elbert be so c ocky.
That’s right, Elbert was so c ocky in front of Bernard because he had saved Eleanor and knew Bernard wouldn’t hurt him.
“Mr. Laurence, we’ll decide whose bet to accept by drawing lots, so the game will be fair.”
“Let’s start.”
Before Elbert could finish, Bernard coldly cut him off.
Bernard obviously wasn’t interested in this game. He looked impatient, as if he couldn’t be bothered to gamble with Elbert, but he had to because he owed Elbert for saving Eleanor.
Elbert loved seeing Bernard’s helpless but forced compromise. He felt great, so he raised his hand and clapped.
“Dealer!”
Hearing the sound, the casino dealer respectfully walked over.
“Mr. Pine, any instructions?”
“Bring the drawing tube.”
“Alright.”
The casino staff quickly brought the drawing tube.
“Mr. Laurence, pick a letter.”
Elbert pointed at the two letters on the tube and let Bernard choose first.
Bernard seemed a bit impatient. He chose a K.
Elbert raised an eyebrow and said, “Then I’ll pick M.”
After saying that, he signaled to the casino staff, “Open.”
To avoid any foul play, this sort of drawing was carried out by the casino staff.
The drawing tube was black on the outside, and you couldn’t see inside. The casino staff opened the drawing tube first.
After letting the two players see that there was nothing inside, they put the balls with the letters K and M in.
Then they pressed the roll key, waited for the letter balls inside to rotate a few rounds, and then opened the small lid on top of the drawing tube.
“Who will draw?”
The casino staff looked at the two men at loggerheads.
“Mr. Laurence, you do it”
Elbert seemed to be absolutely confident that he would win, always giving way to Bernard.
Bernard couldn’t be bothered to be polite with him. He let his bodyguard take a ball for him.
“M”
Seeing the letter on the ball, Elbert gave a slight smile.
“It looks like we’ll have to go with my proposed bet.”
He took the letter ball and shook it in front of Bernard.

Chapter 770
“If you lose, your wife has to give me a kiss. If you win, my date stays the night with you.”
As Elbert was saying this, he pushed his date towards Bernard.
The woman giggled shyly, glanced at Bernard, then moved downward, stopping below his waist.
That curious and unabashed look, when it fell into Eleanor’s eyes, made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She never thought that another woman would be so interested in her husband’s physique, even ignoring her existence.
What was more irritating was that Elbert, knowing they were married, proposed such a bet to provoke them; he was doing it on purpose. Looking at Elbert’s expression, she knew in her heart that he had become a jerk. She wished she could give him a good lesson right
now.

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...
