A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1002
Right now, Bernard was swamped with work at the Lawrence Group, leaving Eleanor all by herself at home.
Eleanor was in the middle of sketching some designs when Bryson told her that Cedric’s parents were here. She immediately
dropped her pencil
As she got up to head downstairs to the living room, she wondered why Cedric’s parents would suddenly seek her out when
they’ve had little interaction before
Latonia came from a well–off family, was backed by Jason, and was quite the looker. Her whole being radiates an air of good
upbringing, and even in her older age, she maintainws an elegance and intellect. Her words were spoken gently, without a hint of
arrogance.
Seeing Eleanor, she smiled and complimentd her on her looks and taste in fashion. She also mentioned the interior design of the
Fiord Roundabout, saying it’s beyond anything international designers could muster. She added that her brother has a manor
that needed redecorating and invites Eleanor to take on the design.
Eleanor caught on that Latonia needs a favor from her, and so she agreed to the request: “Thank you for the business
opportunity. I’ll take on your brother’s manor project. But there must be something else you want to talk about, right? You didn’t
just come here to pitch me a project, did you?”
“There is indeed something else I need your help with.”
After chatting for a while and downing several cups of coffee, Latonia awkwardly revealed her actual intention: “Eleanor, could
you perhaps have a word with Robin?”
Eleanor was taken aback by the request, “I’m not really tight with Robin, talking to him might not do any good.”
She instinctively declined, but Latonia moved to sit next to her, gripping her hand tightly and patting it gently.
“Sweetie, I know it’s a bit out of line to ask you to talk to him, but Robin told you to look after him because he feels guilty that his
family didn’t treat your mother right. He wants to use this opportunity to get closer to you and make amends. So I’m thinking, if
you talk to him, it might work.”
After saying this, Latonia added, “Of course, if you’re not willing, that’s fine too. We’ll figure out another way.”

Everyone in the Laurence family knew about Robin revealing Eleanor’s identity in the past, but they all chose to stay silent.
They did this to protect her, for which Eleanor was very grateful. Now, Cedric’s mother was tactfully making a suggestion, not
forcing
her.
She had been married into the Laurence family for quite some time, and aside from the initial objections from her grandfather,
everyone in the Laurence family had been good to her. With this in mind, Eleanor nodded.
“Alright, I’ll give it a shot, but I can’t guarantee it’ll work.”
“That’s okay, it’s worth a shot”
This issue could have been easily resolved, but because it involves Robin, a big shot, it’s a bit of a hassle.
If Eleanor could persuade him, then Bernard wouldn’t have to hand the project over to Robin.
After accepting the invitation, Eleanor felt it might be inappropriate to go alone, so she called Sigrid and asked Sigrid to
accompany
her.
Robin’s hospital room was located just above the floor where Cedric as. Since they were not far from each other, Eleanor and
Sigrid decided to visit Cedric first.
They found Cedric propped up in bed, engrossed in his laptop, obviously hard at work.
Eleanor and Sigrid didn’t want to disturb him too much, so they just left the things they had brought, said a few words of care,
and left
the room
As they headed towards the elevator, Sigrid, arm in arm with Eleanor, said: “These past few days, my brother seems like a
completely different person, always busy”

Eleanor knew this had something to do with Hailey, but she didn’t elaborate, simply responding: “Bernard is willing to let him take
over as president of Crystal Area, so of course he has to work harder.”
Bernard said that the company had a lot of business, and with Vice President Taylor Laurence about to enter the North Funland
market, there would be no one to manage Crystal Area, so they have to train Cedric
Eleanor wasn’t sure why they need to train Cedric, but she knew that Bernard seemed to be distributing important positions
within the company one by one.
This was a bit puzzling to Eleanor, as Bernard himself was fully capable of managing these positions, and his current actions
seemed like he was planning to step down soon.
Eleanor couldn’t figure it out, and Bernard wouldn’t give her any answers, so she stopped asking and just hoped he would stay
safe and by her side.
The two women, arm in arm, arrived at Robin’s hospital room. As they pushed open the door, they caught Robin standing at the
bathroom door, looking straight ahead, while his bodyguard Nathan was crouched down, zipping up Robin’s suit pants...
The sight had the two people outside the door gobsmacked.
