A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 403

When Pearce arrived at Grand Falls and saw the castle-like mansion in front of him, he felt instantly deflated.

He looked down at his slippers,

then looked at the mansion, all of a sudden he felt like maybe he'd jumped the gun on his decision...

Pearce walked in.

Seeing that the mansion was even more luxurious inside, Pearce started to feel sorry for himself.

"Ms. Shultz, do you know where I lived the day Mr. Laurence took you away?"

Eleanor, while scrolling through blueprints, asked, "Where did you live?"

Pearce said, "Under a bridge, with a bunch of hobos !"

Eleanor said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Hooper, I didn't know..."

Pearce said, "Even though you were living better than me, you lost a million dollars."

As long as she was worse off than him, he could still find some balance in his heart, but...

"If you marry him, a million dollars won't really matter."

Realizing this, Pearce,suddenly felt quite upset.

They both went abroad to work, she ended up with a rich guy, he couldn't even find a sugar mama, such a big gap!

Eleanor handed him the rolled-up blueprints.

"Mr. Hooper, go and get busy. If the client is not satisfied, jot down their requirements and I'll make the changes later."

It wasn't until evening that he sent a message: [The folks at the space agency are very pleased with the sketch, no changes needed. The company's staff can handle the subsequent production of the renderings]

Before Eleanor had a chance to respond, another message from him popped up: [Compensate me a pair of slippers]

Eleanor frowned and sent back three question marks.

Pearce didn't explain, only replied: [They have to be made of gold]

Eleanor was shocked, gold slippers, can he even wear those?

She put down her phone and decided to take a bath and relax.

As soon as she got up from her chair, she was scooped up and kissed by Bernard.

In the midst of the kiss, Eleanor heard him say, "Eleanor, there's an outdoor pool in the backyard, let's give it a try..."
