A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 602

After giving his instructions, Bernard gave Aidyn a once-over, "Once the gift is sorted, move straight into the mansion you've got your eye on."

Aidyn's eyes sparkled, suddenly feeling that having four months of his salary deducted wasn't a big deal at all. Just as he was about to agree, he remembered the mansion he fancied was worth a billion.

Scratching the back of his head, he reminded Bernard somewhat awkwardly, "Mr. Laurence, the one I'm interested in is the one in the east side of the city."

The tall and aloof man standing by the car laughed coldly, "You think I can't afford it?"

Aidyn quickly waved his hands. How could a successful man like him fail to afford a mere mansion? That was just absurd!

Mr. Laurence lacked nothing but money. Reluctantly accepting this mansion would just help lighten his load.

With that in mind, Aidyn immediately felt justified, and bowed respectfully to him, "Mr. Laurence, don't worry. I'll take care of it!"

Bernard didn't bother with Aidyn anymore. Instead he opened the car door and got in, reaching out to pull the woman beside him into his arms. Eleanor was in the car and hadn't heard their conversation. She was too focused on figuring out how to bring up going back to Hailey's mansion.

As he embraced her, Eleanor leaned against his shoulder. She stole glances at him before plucking up the courage to voice her request.

"Bernard, I need to go back to Hailey's."

The design she made for Jared Group Headquarters was still in Hailey's study. She had to get it to give to him. Her phone was still in the bedroom. Pearce Hooper, who went all over the world inspecting construction sites, could have tried to contact her many times.

She and Pearce had agreed that he would send her the requirements of each place after he had inspected it. She had been away for so long. First, she was abducted by Ethan and then spent so much time with Bernard. She wondered how frantic Pearce could have been right now.

She had bought a house next to Hailey's mansion and needed to rush to renovate it before the wedding. And her French lessons, which she had stopped for half a year. She needed to re-enroll...

There were so many things to do, she really needed to go back.

She swallowed hard and finally gathered the courage to say, "I have to stay at home before the wedding, it's more proper that way...."

This seemed to have made Bernard pause. His beautiful eyes were filled with hesitation, "I don't feel comfortable with you living alone."

Hearing his concern for her safety, Eleanor felt a warmth in her heart. She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck, "This time I'll lock all the doors and windows and stick to Hailey like glue, okay?"

Bernard pulled Eleanor onto his lap and kissed her lips affectionately, "Not okay...."

Eleanor had no choice but to bury her head in his collarbone, pleading and sweet-talking until she finally got the chance to live alone before the wedding. But given his previous experience, he called a bunch of female bodyguards to follow her around before he got out of the car.

Looking at the group of female bodyguards, Eleanor could already imagine what her life would be like in the run-up to the wedding.

She'd probably have someone following her even when she went to the bathroom. But that would be okay, at least it would ensure her safety.
