A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 626

Blake sat on the bed for a long while, then picked up his phone and had his assistant find Eleanor's number. He gave her a call.

Eleanor was busy designing her wedding room. Seeing an unknown caller, she instinctively didn't want to answer. But oddly enough, she forced herself to pick up.

On the other end of the line came Blake's rugged voice, "Ms. Shultz, it's me."

Eleanor was taken aback, not expecting Blake to call. She was a bit nervous, "Blake, what's up?"

Even though he once thought about killing her, she still asked him politely what he wanted. On this point, Blake was satisfied and his tone became softer, "I have a question for you."

Eleanor put down the pencil in her hand, sat up straight and said, "Please go ahead."

Blake got up from the bed, walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the lanterns in the courtyard, and then slowly asked, "Do you love my grandson?"

Eleanor thought he was going to ask her some hard-to-answer questions, she was surprised that he asked this.

She didn't answer immediately, but collected her thoughts and then answered seriously, "Mr. Laurence, it might sound rash to say I love him, but I really can't lose Bernard. That's something I only understood after I lost him."

Even though it was Ethan's lie, it let her truly experience the feeling of loss. Because of this, she knew that some people were impossible to let go, impossible to forget, and that must be love...

Blake thought for a while then asked again, "He's hurt you before. Don't you hate him?"

He looked at the picture on the desk, a photo of Bernard's father when he was young. Sunny, confident, very smart, and always listened to him. He was the perfect successor, but he died early because of a woman...

This was something Blake could not accept. He was the head of the family, he could have any woman he wanted. Why did he choose the daughter of an enemy? Wasn't this clearly opposing the family?

The eldest son of the Laurence family was dead, leaving only Bernard. He was the only hope of the family, the only one who could take over and expand the Laurence Group. Blake did feel somewhat guilty towards him. Supporting him seemed to be the right decision.

But, Blake was not satisfied with this future granddaughter-in-law. But at this point, Blake seemed to have no power to refuse. But to accept her immediately, he couldn't do it...

After considering all the factors, Blake decided to give himself and Eleanor some time to make a decision, "Ms. Shultz, I've accepted the fact that you have no power or status. But I can't accept that you can't have children. However, for Bernard, I can give you two months. If you get pregnant within these two months, I'll accept you as my granddaughter-in-law. If not, I hope you can be wise and leave on your own."
