A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 331

“Ms. Shultz, on behalf of Mr. Laurence, I gotta make sure you accept this wedding dress. It’s my mission.”

He waved his hand and had the waiter put the dress on the villa’s couch. Then he said to Eleanor, “I hope you’ll wear this dress on your wedding day, Ms.

Shultz.”

Eleanor felt super annoyed, and she said. “Bryson, please take it back. I already got a new wedding dress from my fiancé. I don’t need or want to wear Bernard’s gift at my wedding.”

She was dead set about it. Bryson got shocked and then mad. “Ms. Shultz, for the past three years, Mr. Laurence had to rely on sleeping pills just to see you in his dreams. Is that fair to him?”

Eleanor’s heart ached a bit, and her face turned even more pale.

Why, why did he have to bring this up now…

Hailey, who had been quiet during this whole thing, was also taken aback by his words.

But seeing Bryson forcing Eleanor to accept the dress, she pushed that shock aside.

She stood up from the couch and got in front of Eleanor.

“Bryson, if Bernard had sent the wedding dress to Eleanor three years ago, maybe they’d already have kids by now. But instead, he sent her a cold–hearted agreement when he returned, abandoning Eleanor. It’s too late to send this dress now.”

“Also, you said Bernard relied on sleeping pills for Eleanor. I’m sorry about that. But Eleanor was in a coma for those three years, unaware of anything Bernard did for her. All she knows is his previous cruelty. Why are you trying to pin all the guilt on her for what Bernard went through?”

“Besides, Eleanor’s marrying someone else, not Bernard. How can you expect her to wear another man’s wedding dress?”

After Hailey said all this in one breath, she grabbed the dress, gave it to the servant, and coldly said, “Please leave.”

Bryson felt bad for going too far. Instead of making things better between Ms. Shultz and Mr. Laurence, he made it worse. He regretted it and quietly apologized: “I’m sorry. I just really hoped Ms. Shultz and Mr. Laurence could reconcile, and I misspoke. I hope you both can forgive me.”

After apologizing, he still had the servant put the dress down: “Ms. Shultz, it’s not my place to decide if you wear this dress at your wedding. But it has to stay here, or I won’t be able to explain myself when I go back.”

Either way, he had to fulfill his mission from Mr. Laurence. As for what Ms. Shultz thinks, he couldn’t control that..

After saying his piece, Bryson turned to leave the villa, but Eleanor called out to him.

Bryson turned around and looked at her. “Ms. Shultz, what’s up?”

Eleanor picked up the dress and handed it to him. “Bryson, take it back and please tell him… I don’t want to see him at my wedding.”

Bryson thought her behavior was too cold–hearted and unfair to Mr. Laurence. But he didn’t say anything or take the dress. Instead, he turned and left the villa quickly with his entourage, as if afraid

she’d chase him to take back the dress.

Eleanor tightly held onto the dress, her face so pale it looked like all the blood had been drained.

Hailey noticed something was wrong and immediately came over, touching Eleanor’s face and asking, “Eleanor, what’s going on?”

Eleanor looked at Hailey’s worried expression and shook her head. “I’m fine, just a bit tired…”

Hailey felt sorry for her and hugged her. “If you’re tired, lean on my shoulder and take a break, okay?”

Hailey didn’t mention Bernard because she knew Eleanor would feel uneasy after hearing all that.

As her sister, the only thing she could give at this moment was a hug. Everything else was out of her hands.

Eleanor rested her head on Hailey’s shoulder, her eyes dull and lifeless, making her look like she could die at any moment.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
