A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 291

When Aldyn saw the bodyguard following Eleanor at a decent distance, he couldn’t help letting out a sigh. Mr. Laurence was legit heads over heels for Eleanor but he still chose to let her go. Must be a real punch in the gut.

Aidyn thought for a moment, pulled out a pack of cigarettes, and handed it to Bernard, “Mr. Laurence, here.”

Bernard glanced at the cigarettes with a poker face, gradually returning to his usual aloofness, “Throw it away.”

He didn’t need that stuff anymore. Some people, once they were in your heart, that was enough company for a lifetime.

Aidyn was surprised that Mr. Laurence, who had been relying on cigarettes and alcohol for the past three years, could just drop it like this.

Looking at Mr. Laurence, with his hand on the car window and looking out, Aidyn thought he saw a glimpse of the old Mr. Laurence.

Before he met Eleanor, he was a teetotaler, aloof and snobbish, indifferent to everyone and everything.

Now, after the emotional roller coaster, his eyes were a bit darker, but it seemed like the old him was back.

Excited, Aidyn pulled back the cigarettes and said, “Mr. Laurence, let’s head home.”

Bernard nodded indifferently and then coldly told Aidyn, “Get the Clowers Group under our belt in three months.”

Aidyn blinked for a few seconds, but then got the drift, “Mr. Laurence, you want to return it to Mr. Clowers after buying the Clowers Group?”

Bernard kept staring at the fading figure outside the window, “She’s going to spend her life taking care of Garett Falsey, and I don’t want her to be too

worn out.”

For some reason, hearing this made Aidyn’s heart twinge.

Their mighty boss was going to these lengths for Eleanor.

But all she said was ‘sorry‘ to him, then ran off to someone else without a second thought.

Aidyn let out another sigh, “Mr. Laurence, why bother.”

He knew Mr. Laurence wanted to make up for past mistakes, but it was over. Why went back and helped them?

It might sound harsh, but when Eleanor sold herself, the money Mr. Laurence gave really saved Garett’s life. If Mr. Laurence hadn’t stopped Garett from taking his own life, they wouldn’t have had the chance to meet again. And Mr. Laurence got injured big time saving Garett, almost kicking the bucket in the graveyard.

Now, to avoid exhausting Eleanor with the care of a wheelchair–bound man, he even ordered Aidyn to buy the Clowers Group.

The Clowers Group was a big deal in the city. You can’t just get their business without enough cash and skills.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Mr. Laurence had already blown thirty billion finding a heart for Eleanor. Was he going to use thirty percent of the Laurence family wealth to help his rival? Aidyn couldn’t get his head around it, but since Mr. Laurence told him to do it, he didn’t argue.

After agreeing, he drove toward their mansion.

A soaking wet Eleanor arrived at Hailey’s villa. After ringing the doorbell, she stood blankly at the door.

Soon, a maid came out with an umbrella and quickly led her in when she saw Eleanor, who had visited before.

Hailey was practicing yoga in the living room. When she saw Eleanor come in, her face turned serious and she immediately got up to approach her.

“Eleanor, what’s the deal? It’s pouring out there, why didn’t you grab an umbrella?* Hailey asked.
