Chapter 960
Cedric left the president’s office and thaled Chase, asking him where he was Chase responded by sending him a location of a golf course
Cedric drove to the golf course and found Chase sitting under an umbrella, wearing sunglasses and a mask, staring intently at some figures in the distance
Following Chase’s gaze, Cedric saw Peterson teaching Sigrid how to swing a golf club
“She’s playing golf now” Chase didn’t look up, just stated the fact.
Cedric got the picture and pulled up a chair to sit next to him.
“I bet it was Peterson’s idea to teach her.”
Sometimes guys use the pretext of teaching women golf to get closer to them.
He thought Peterson was a sincere young gentleman, but turns out he’s just another guy trying to score with a pretty girl.
“It was your sister who wanted to learn.” Chase looked up and nodded slightly towards Sigrid.
“They made a bet with two other couples. If they hole in one, they have to tip five million to everyone present.”
So it was because of this bet that Sigrid and Peterson were playing golf together. What a game!
Cedric didn’t have a high opinion of Peterson. He always thought that Peterson was exploiting his sister.
“Let’s join them and wipe the floor with that Peterson!‘ Cedric took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscular arms.
“Forget about it.” Chase stopped Cedric, “Your sister doesn’t want to see me. Let’s not piss her off.”
“So you’re just going to be a wuss and follow them around, watching their romance?” Cedric asked
Chase glanced at Peterson, who had Sigrid in his arms, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
‘What else can I do?”
Besides, Sigrid probably has long since gotten over him.
The girl who used to only have him in her heart during her adolescent years is now lost.
“What else? Either fight for her or move on. Don’t dither around.” Cedric said
Chase looked up at him, his eyes red–rimmed.
“I’ve tried my best. I’ve tried everything, but she remains indifferent.”
Cedric was taken aback. He didn’t expect the usually dignified Mr. Chase to be so dejected
“Cedric, I want to give up too, but all these years, I’ve never truly let go…”
Chase seemed to be in a deep funk, as if he were stuck in an abyss, struggling but unable to escape
He was engulfed in darkness, his loneliness making Cedric sympathize.
He was fighting for her dignity, he was trying all sorts of ways to let go, but he was stuck. How painful must that be?
Cedric felt the pain too. He reached out and patted Chase’s shoulder lightly.
“I’ve already persuaded Bernard to hand Evelyn’s case to you. If you win, what will you do?”
He asked, even though the case has nothing to do with Sigrid directly. Even if Chase helped win the case, Sigrid wouldn’t even give him a “thank you.

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...
