A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 698

He got the chills. Turning around, he saw a tall man standing at the door, staring at him.

The man was shockingly handsome. He oozed an aristocratic elegance from head to toe, an intimidating aura that screamed 'Don't approach'.

Bernard was looking at him with a cautious and even hostile gaze. He was a little nervous.

He couldn't recall offending Mr. Laurence. Why was he looking at him like that?

It was freaking scary...

Will was puzzled. And Eleanor knew why Bernard was acting this way. She was both amused and irritated, shooting Bernard a side glance.

"Hold on, I'll go upstairs to get the documents."

The living room was left with only Hailey, Liana, Nina, and Will when she disappeared upstairs.

The first three were used to Bernard's frosty demeanor.

Only Will seemed awkward on the couch, torn between smiling or conversing.

The man standing at the door was eyeing him occasionally, looking like an ice sculpture.

If Eleanor hadn't returned quickly, he might have decided to bail out in three seconds.

Eleanor walked over to Bernard, naturally taking his arm, and whisked him out of the living room...

Watching them leave, Will finally relaxed. But he couldn't help but feel pity for Eleanor.

She was brave enough to hold the arm of such a cold man.

Will had forgotten entirely about their upcoming nuptials...

When the car stopped at their destination, Bernard's hanging heart finally fell...

He helped Eleanor out of the car, tightly holding her hand and leading her in.

Getting a marriage certificate wasn't complicated, and they had the documents in hand before long.

Bernard was smiling.

"What's there to pity? Her current husband is way hotter than her ex. If I were her, I'd choose her current husband too!"

She pushed open the door, her face growing darker.

Yes, she was divorced, but Bernard had no marriage record.

She stood at the door, took a few seconds to shake off her guilt towards her ex-husband and current husband, and stepped in...

She owed Garett an apology. She loved Bernard. Having decided to choose Bernard, the gossip of others couldn't change her mind.

When she returned from the restroom, she saw Bernard carefully putting the marriage certificate into a safe.

Eleanor was flabbergasted. The man actually brought a safe?

She walked over in surprise and reached out to Bernard, "Give me a copy."

Bernard looked up and said, "I'll keep it."

In case of disputes in the future, if she wants a divorce, she won't have the marriage certificate.
