A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 750

Hailey's worry about Garett had her in no mood for the party, but thinking about how long Liana had been planning this for her, she decided to go anyway.

After freshening up at home, she slipped into a champagne-coloured evening dress that was more understated and comfy than outright fancy.

She grabbed her purse, hopped in her car, and before long, she was at the Sea Cloud Hotel.

In the banquet hall, under dim lights, men and women in formal wear and evening gowns, wine glasses in hand, stood in little clusters, chatting with smiles.

As the music started, Hailey's gloomy mood lifted a bit.

She snapped a photo of the banquet hall and sent it to Garett:

[Garett, my blind dating journey has commenced. Look, I've been through a failed marriage and came out the other side, you can do it too.]

This bit of encouragement, though not exactly earth-shattering, managed to put a smile on Garett's face.

The guy in B City, wheelchair-bound, replied with an 'OK'emoji after reading the heartwarming message.

Only then did Hailey relax, sliding her phone back into her purse and heading further into the hall.

This party was a blind dating event Liana had arranged specifically for Aidyn and her.

Aidyn had arrived earlier, dressed in a light grey suit, sitting straight as an arrow on the couch, his hands on his knees, looking like he was at a job interview as he scrutinized the female doctor across from him.

"I've got a villa in the city, plus about a dozen apartments."

"I've got a few luxury cars as well. Assets-wise, we're talking eight figures."

"That's where I'm at. Any questions?"

The female doctor gave Aidyn a pissed off glare before storming off.

Liana, sitting not far away, saw Aidyn dismiss another girl and muttered a 'serves him right for being single' through gritted teeth.

Nina, eating dessert in Liana's arms, looked up at Liana, "Aidyn is just like me with high standards. He likes pretty girls."

Will Webb grabbed a drink from a server, put in a straw and handed it to Nina, "So you're saying the girls here aren't pretty enough?"

Nina took a sip of her drink and shook her head, "No, not really. Some are pretty, but compared to Eleanor, Hailey and Liana, they're no match. It's only normal for Aidyn, who's used to super beauties, to not settle for just any pretty face."

"Hailey, there you are, come sit with us," Liana called out to Hailey.

Nina also got down from Liana's lap, toddled over to Hailey and led her to a seat next to them.
