A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1146

Seeing Aidyn's grin, Bernard suddenly felt a weird urge to punch him.

Bernard frowned, trying to figure out why. Then it dawned on him...

Aidyn got married later than he did, but became a dad earlier. And him?

He was trying every night, but compared to Aidyn, his efforts seemed fruitless, and it was getting him down.

He picked up his pen again and coldly said, "Your leave is denied."

Aidyn's smile froze, "Why?"

His wife was expecting! Denying his leave was a bit much, wasn’t it?!

Bernard ignored him and kept signing papers. Aidyn, getting desperate, pleaded, "Mr. Laurence, please, just give me a day off..."

Seeing Bernard still ignoring him, Aidyn let go of the table, headed for the sofa, "If you won't agree, I'll just sit here in protest."

Bernard glanced at Aidyn, opened a drawer, and tossed a bank card at him, "Congrats."

Seeing the card, Aidyn was taken aback, then shook his head, "Your good wishes are enough. I don't need the money..."

Bernard put down his pen again, reached out, and took back the card, "If you don't want it, then let’s save it for Caleb’s kid."

Hearing this, Aidyn quickly snatched the card back from Bernard, "I'd rather take it myself than give it to that jerk Caleb. I'll accept your kindness."

Nola looked a bit upset, glanced at Liana, but didn't say anything. She just nodded obediently and headed for the kitchen.

The old Liana might not have noticed what was going on, but now she could see through the situation in an instant. Maybe it was because she knew Karan's cousin once bribed some thugs, that she realized her aunt was quite cunning...

She remembered how Tyler, when they were kids, criticized Karan for being manipulative. But because it was her aunt, Liana never doubted anything Karan said or explained. If she had been more suspicious back then, maybe she would have seen her aunt's true colors...

Thinking of this, Liana, with a calm expression, shook off Karan's hand, sat on the couch, and stated her purpose, "Aunt Karan, I came to talk about some past events."

Karan, about to sit on the couch, stiffened momentarily at hearing this. But she didn’t give anything away and sat down, then asked with a smile, "What past events?"

Liana took a stack of documents from her bag and placed them on the coffee table, "It’s about your cousin Hubert. Why did he give money to some thugs after they were released from prison?"
