A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 624

Bernard dropped the mic and walked out...

Blake was shaking mad, grinding his teeth as he said, "Bernard, you're gonna regret crossing me!"

Bernard paused, turned his head slightly, and gave Blake a casual glance. "I already do," he said coolly, "I regret not marrying her sooner."

Sigrid thought Bernard was such a badass. She was super pumped, clenched her fist, and gave him a thumbs up. "I'm on your side!"

Her support didn't earn a response from Bernard, but it did earn a cold stare from Blake. "Matthew, control your daughter!"

Matthew swallowed hard, took his daughter's hand, and boldly said, "Dad, let the kids handle their own business."

They had all grown up, yet still being controlled by their father. Their marriages had been influenced by his interference in the past, and now he wanted to meddle in the matters of his grandchildren's marriages as well. Blake always preached about not letting emotions rule, but his achievements over the years hadn't outshone his love-struck grandchildren.

Seeing Matthew also disregarding his words, Blake was so mad he almost passed out!

He clutched his chest, gasping for air, his face deathly pale, and soon enough, he collapsed. When he woke up, only Veronica's dad was by his bedside, making him tea and fetching him water.

Blake looked at him and thought his second son was the only one who was nice to him, the rest were ungrateful brats.

Veronica's dad, Trey, was sitting by the bed, frowning at his father.

"Dad, I stayed to give you some straight talk..."

But Trey firmly shook his head. "If I don't say it, it'll eat me up inside. Just let me say it!"

A weak Blake lifted his hand, touching his forehead, and sighed in exasperation. "When you were born, your head got a little squeezed, making you a bit slow. Your grandpa advised me to disown you, and now I regret not doing so!"

Yet Trey had such a smart daughter in Veronica. If it wasn't for her, Trey would've been kicked out of the Laurence family a long time ago.

Trey didn't care that his father thought he was not bright enough, he just retorted, "I'm a dark horse, don't underestimate me."

After his retort, he said, "Dad, because you didn't let my brother marry the woman he loved, it led to his death. You know Bernard has the same temperament as him, so why are you still pushing him?"
