Chapter 924
The next day at noon, after completing her design sketches, Eleanor initiated a video call with Nina.
“Nina, have you eaten a good meal at school today?”
“Yes, I have. There are many delicious things here, but Israel always snatches my egg tart.”
Nina had complained numerous times, expressing how attending the same school as Israel was tormenting her
Upon hearing this, Eleanor asked for Nina’s opinion, inquiring if she wanted to change schools.
Being a clever little one, Nina declared that it was the best school in A City and she didn’t want to switch. She was determined to stand up against Israel.
Eleanor couldn’t do much about the situation, but she admired Nina’s positive attitude. It was as if she were an unwavering young warrior. Thus, she encouraged her to continue in this manner
“Nina, if he tries to snatch your egg tart again, you can tell him that you’re willing to share it with him, do you understand?”
“Oh, I’ll try that next time. But if he still insists on taking it from me, I’ll drag him to a corner and give him a good lesson!”
Eleanor wanted to advise Nina against resorting to violence, but suddenly she heard the teacher on the other end of the video calling the children to go for their afternoon
nap
“I gotta go nap”
“Alright, off you go then.”
After waving goodbye, Eleanor ended the call and was about to head downstairs for a bite, when she heard Bryson say Blake was here.
She was grabbing the handrail when she froze, ‘Bryson, tell him I’m not here, say I went…”
Before she could finish her sentence, a deep and powerful voice came from outside, “What, are you scared I’ll eat you?”
Hearing Blake’s voice, Eleanor knew it was too late to bail. She turned around and went downstairs, “Blake, what brings you here?“,.
Blake approached Eleanor with a new cane in hand, gently tapping it on the ground “I have consulted your husband’s opinion,” he said.
Eleanor had initially been inquiring about his purpose for coming, but Blake’s response indicated that he had already sought Bernard’s approval before coming here.
There was no need for further questioning Eleanor understood why Blake was allowed entry. Bernard had accepted him.
Eleanor stepped forward and gestured for Blake to take a seat on the sofa.
Blake raised his hand and shook his head. “No need. I came here to examine you, and once that’s done, I will leave.”
Just as Eleanor was about to ask what he meant by examining her, she noticed him looking up, his gaze fixed on the doctor entering through the door. “Keith, come here quickly”
Comments
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...
