Chapter 961
Chase muttered a “thank you” and turned his gaze to Sigrid and Peterson “Think they can nail it in one go?”
Before he finished, Sigrid was up on her feet, exclaiming. “Holy cow, you actually did it!”
Standing behind her, Peterson had one hand in his pocket, a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked towards the field “Saved you five million. How’re you gonna thank
me?”
Sigrid’s youthful face lit up with a beaming smile. “How about I treat you to bungee jumping considering you’ve been helping me practice these last few days?”
Peterson took a good look at petite Sigrid. I never figured you for an extreme sports fan, Ms Laurence”
Sigrid, with her baseball cap askew, flashed him a sweet smile. “I didn’t like it at first. But someone used to tag me along.”
At this, her smile seemed to freeze a bit.
Peterson noticed her change of expression. “Someone you cared about?”
Sigrid hesitated for a moment before finally nodding. “Yeah, but that’s all in the past.
Peterson nodded, understanding.
When Sigrid saw his nonchalant response, she couldn’t help but ask, “What about you? Ever had a crush?”
Without hesitation, Peterson admitted, “At my age? Definitely.”
“Why arent you together?”
“She’s married How could we be together?”
Sigrid had been expecting a tragic love story, but who would’ve thought Peterson’s crush was a married wornan? Seeing her widening eyes and her attempt to suppress her reaction, Peterson’s lips curved up into a slight grin.
“You seriously bought that?”
“Wait, were you kidding?”
He took the golf club from her hands and raised an eyebrow. “Ms. Laurence, fancy another round?”
Peterson clearly didn’t want to dwell on the past, so Sigrid didn’t push.
“Sure thing”
Peterson led Sigrid off again, his gaze subtly falling on a man in shades in the distance.
Where he and Sigrid were, that man was too. What a coincidence.
As Chase caught him staring, he quickly looked away. “I gotta go.”
Just as Cedric emerged in his baseball gear, he saw Chase stand up. “You’re not playing anymore?”
Chase waved as he walked off. ‘I’m done Gotta prep for Bernard’s case. I can’t afford to lose.”
Watching Chase’s retreating figure, Cedric lost the mood for the game.

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...
