A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1435

Hailey smiled as she received the gift from Eleanor.

“It’s just good to have you back safe and sound. You didn’t need to get me anything.”

Eleanor had been away with some long-lost relatives, and she had been unreachable for days. Hailey was worried, she couldn’t reach her phone no matter how many times she called.

If it hadn’t been for Bernard coming back, and Cedric calming her down, Hailey was about ready to waddle her pregnant self to some godforsaken place in search of Eleanor.

Thankfully, not long after, Bernard stormed back home, bringing Eleanor with him.

Learning that the couple had been overseas, dealing with a gunshot wound no less, Hailey could finally breathe easy and focus on her own upcoming delivery.

But Cedric didn’t tell Hailey about the chip in Bernard’s head.

Cedric planned to wait until Hailey was out of the hospital to have a proper sit-down with him about the whole matter.

After all, such burdens should be carried by the men, letting the women enjoy their blissful lives without a care.

Cedric and Bernard exchanged a knowing glance, an unspoken agreement between them.

Overjoyed by the new baby, Eleanor took the gift box Bernard handed her and set it on the nightstand.

“Not just a gift for the baby, I got you something too.”

Eleanor didn’t open it, just patted the box, “Open it when you get home.”
