A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1017

Hailey couldn't believe it and insisted on having a deep convo with Nina, but Nina just kept throwing out interesting remarks that left Hailey speechless.

"Kids these days are really something else, quick-witted and fast on their feet."

Liana walked in just in time to catch that comment. "I once did an IQ test for Nina. She scored higher than you, so don't treat her like a child."

Hailey questioned if this was true, Liana just laughed and said, "With parents as brilliant as hers, of course she's gonna be amazing."

Eleanor noticed that Liana and Hailey had arrived and after they hung out with Nina for a bit, she took them to the lounge area.

She called for a barista to brew some coffee, served some desserts, and then asked Hailey, "Did you meet Yeager's parents today? How did it go?"

Hailey came to Fiord Roundabout to talk with Eleanor about this. "His dad didn't say much, but his mom seemed to look down on my background and job. Even though she wasn't outright dismissive, I could still feel it in her words."

Eleanor and Hailey were both orphans and knew what it felt like to be looked down on. "Did Yeager stand up for you?"

Hailey initially shook her head, but then she nodded. "He didn't say anything when I was there, but when I came back from the restroom, his mom changed her attitude. So, I guess he must have said something."

Liana was concerned about the outcome. Seeing Hailey's uncertainty, she asked, "So, what's your plan? Are you going to get married or...?"

Hailey waved her off, saying, "I feel like his mom isn't too pleased with me, and I don't want to rush into marriage either. So, I suggested postponing the wedding in front of his parents."

Eleanor asked, "Did Yeager agree?"

Bernard fell silent for a few seconds, then said indifferently, "Then let's wait a little longer."

Once they break up, Bernard would definitely step in and have people arrest Yeager and the coroner. For now, while they're still together, Bernard could only play the waiting game.

He needed to consider Eleanor's feelings, and on the other hand, he was afraid that taking action would cause unnecessary trouble for Hailey. So, he decided to wait.

Understanding Bernard's thoughts, Liana didn't say much, just responded with an 'okay' and left the CEO's office...

Eleanor just saw off Hailey when a car pulled up in front of her.

Then, the car window slowly rolled down, revealing a face that was extraordinarily refined and stunningly beautiful.
