A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1009

As he said this, someone happened to pass by and seemed to overhear. They shot the two of them a weird look. Eleanor's round face turned all red and she quickly said, "Shut up, will you..."

She covered his mouth with her hand and said loudly, "Weren't you the quiet type before? How come you're so chatty now?"

Bernard opened his mouth to reply, but she slapped her hand back over his mouth, "No more talking, zip it!"

As this couple was playfully arguing, Aidyn arrived at the hotel with the bride and everyone in the banquet hall took their seats.

The emcee took the stage, filling the atmosphere with cheer. He gave a long speech full of wedding blessings before inviting the newlyweds onto the stage.

As the spotlight hit the bride, she glowed softly, making Dr. Naylor look like a fairy descended from heaven.

She stood at the other end of the aisle, beaming, elegant and gracious, waiting for her handsome groom to come to her...

Aidyn, holding roses, dressed in a black tuxedo, hair slicked back, looked full of energy as he approached Dr. Naylor.

After handing her the flowers, he took her hand, and under the accompaniment of the wedding music, they walked down the aisle towards the stage.

All the lights swept over the guests and landed on the newlyweds as they exchanged rings, made their vows, kissed, and popped the champagne.

Then, they began to have a good time.

Caleb and Scott were the most boisterous...

They were having a great time, even rushing down to the audience to try and drag Bernard on stage for a performance.

Bernard gave them a cold look and they immediately stopped.

Pearce Hooper, sitting next to Eleanor, looked like he wanted to give it a try, he pulled a grin and said, "I'll give it a go..."

Pearce had bullied Aidyn a few times before, Scott knew about this, "Go ahead, aren't you afraid Aidyn will punch you off the stage?"

Pearce put on a stiff smile that he thought was friendly, "Today is a special day, so he won't lay a hand on me, don't worry."

Cedric noticed that the crowd had mostly dispersed, so he maneuvered his wheelchair around to where Hailey was waiting for the crowd to clear. Their eyes met, and rather than avoiding each other, they simply stared.

Hailey wanted to look away quickly, but instead, Cedric nodded at her gracefully. Unlike their previous interactions, his gaze now seemed much clearer, as if he had finally let her go from their past entanglements.

After nodding politely, Cedric pushed his wheelchair towards another exit, without looking back.

Watching his back disappear into the crowd, Hailey retracted her gaze, picked up her pace, and walked towards the exit of the banquet hall.

After Aidyn's wedding, Eleanor was busy handling Evelyn's lawsuit, Liana was busy finding the truth to prove Will's innocence, and Hailey was busy meeting Yeager's parents.

The meeting place was the most expensive restaurant in A City, which required a one-month advance reservation.

Marina said this showed Yeager’s family was taking her seriously and chose such a high-end restaurant for the meeting. She should dress up and make a good impression on Yeager's parents.

Although Hailey agreed, she didn't dress up especially, she just did her usual light makeup, wore conservative clothes, and headed out...
