A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1027

It's already noon.

Chase had made several phone calls to her, but eventually decided to come directly to her home. Eleanor blushed and felt her heart pounding. After composing herself, she walked over and sat across from Chase.

Noticing that she seemed a bit unsteady on her feet, Chase asked, "Ms. Shultz, are you feeling unwell?"

Eleanor tried to respond, but as soon as she opened her mouth, a severe cough replaced her words due to her dry throat.

Seeing her in such a bad condition, Chase refrained from blaming her and simply said, "My time is valuable, please be on time next time."

Once Eleanor had recovered from the coughing fit, she blushed and apologized, "I'm sorry, I will definitely be on time next time..."

"It's okay if you're not on time, but if you're sick, please inform me promptly," Chase replied.

Finally, Chase glanced at her once more and inquired, "Is your illness alright? It won't affect our appearance in court, will it?"

Eleanor blushed again and shook her head, "No, it's fine. I'll be okay by tomorrow..."

Standing upstairs, Bernard was looking at his watch while staring at the direction of the living room. Hearing this, he cracked a slight smile.

"Where's your husband?"

Eleanor looked up and saw Bernard's smile and glared at him.

"He's throwing a tantrum."

"Huh?"

Chase was tidying up his files while looking at her.

Eleanor waved her hand awkwardly.

Even Chase, a regular nightclub-goer, felt somewhat tense in front of Bernard. However, the topics being discussed were Chase's specialty, so he managed to keep his composure and appear more confident.

While Chase talked incessantly. Bernard couldn't help but recall a past scene when Chase was pleading with Latonia on the floor as she pressured him to end things with Sigrid.

As Chase inquired about all the case details and presented potential courtroom situations, he glanced up at Bernard. Noticing Bernard scrutinizing him, Chase felt uneasy and asked, "Mr. Laurence, did I miss anything?"

Bernard replied nonchalantly, "No, please continue."

Chase then handed over the well-organized materials. "I've listed out the questions the opposing lawyer may ask. Take a look," he said. He had been remarkably thorough, analyzing all possible case scenarios and preparing the questions that the opposing lawyer might raise.

This showed how much he wanted to win this case, because the client was the relative of the woman he had been silently in love with for many years.

With the full cooperation of Bernard and his wife, Chase quickly collected all the data. After recording it in his notebook, he got up to leave.
