A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 697

Pearce decided to stick around in G country to deal with Ethan's company affairs. He didn't plan to return home immediately.

George's family and medical career were all in G country, so he wasn't going anywhere. He had to say a reluctant goodbye to Nina.

"Nina, I won't be around you anymore. Listen to your aunt and your uncle-in-law, and study hard."

Nina, being very sensible, clung tightly to George's leg.

"I'll behave, don't worry."

George gave a warm smile. He looked at Nina, then turned to Eleanor and Bernard.

"I'll have to trouble you guys from now on."

Eleanor shook her head, "I'm Nina's aunt. It's no trouble at all."

George knew Eleanor wouldn't find it troublesome. But most women, after marriage, still needed the support of a man.

Eleanor's husband was the head of the Laurence family. His status was untouchable. Eleanor married him with a child already...

George glanced at Bernard, finding him looking back. George's worries gradually disappeared.

This man even helped Ethan get revenge, showing his big heart. What did George have to worry about?

George relaxed and nodded at Bernard. Then he bent down to hug Nina again.

"I'll call you once a week. Remember to answer the phone. And I'll come to see you every year on your birthday."

"Okay..."

Nina hugged George's neck and kissed his cheek. "George, you take care of yourself too..."

George let her go, gently ruffled her hair, then got into the car, rolled down the window, and waved goodbye.

Nina waved back and ran a little, not stopping until the car was out of sight.

It was only when everyone safely boarded the private jet and landed safely that the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief.

Bernard was all about getting the marriage registration done. As soon as the plane landed, he had the driver head to Hailey's villa.

He urged Eleanor to hurry inside to get the documents. But after seeing them, Eleanor stopped to chat a bit more with Liana and Will.

Waiting in the car, Bernard impatiently pushed open the car door and went inside.

Eleanor was talking to Will, "Nina can speak now. But she still gets scared by nightmares at night."

Will gently stroked Nina's hair, "It's okay; I have a few days off. Leave her to me; I'll help her."

Eleanor smiled gratefully at Will, "Thank you so much..."

Just as Will was about to smile back and say, 'No need to thank me,' he felt a strange presence behind him.
