A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1146
Seeing Aldyn’s grin, Bernard suddenly felt a weird urge to punch him.
Bernard frowned, trying to figure out why Then it dawned on him
Aidyn got married later than he did, but became a dad earlier And him?
He was trying every night, but compared to Aidyn, his efforts seemed fruitless, and it was getting him down
He picked up his pen again and coldly said. “Your leave is denied”
Aidyn’s smile froze, “Why?”
His wife was expecting Denying his leave was a bit much, wasn’t it?!
Bernard ignored him and kept signing papers. Aidyn, getting desperate, pleaded. “Mr. Laurence, please, just give me a day off
Seeing Bernard still ignoring him, Aidyn let go of the table, headed for the sofa. “If you won’t agree, I’ll just sit here in protest”
Bernard glanced at Aidyn, opened a drawer, and tossed a bank card at him, “Congrats ”
Seeing the card, Aidyn was taken aback, then shook his head, “Your good wishes are enough I don’t need the money.”
Bernard put down his pen again, reached out, and took back the card, “If you don’t want it, then let’s save it for Caleb’s kid”
Hearing this, Aidyn quickly snatched the card back from Bernard, “I’d rather take it myself than give it to that jerk Caleb I’ll accept
your kindness”
Aidyn happily pocketed the card. “Then, Mr. Laurence, I’m off to get my wife...
Bernard just nodded without looking up. It wasn’t until Aidyn left the office that he looked up, watching Aidyn’s retreating figure
with a faint smile He was probably the first one amongst his peers to become a father. Of course, he was happy for Aidyn. But
when would his own baby come. Bernard originally didn’t want a baby. But seeing Aidyn so happy had ignited some anticipation
in him. But the thought of Eleanor having to endure childbirth quickly extinguished that Forget it. Without a child, his wife would
suffer less.

Soon Liana arrived in B City and was back at the Howell family. Karan was in the midst of scolding a servant. Seeing Liana come
in, Karan immediately stopped, told the maid to get up, and warmly greeted Liana.
She looped her arm through Liana’s, leading her into the living room while explaining what had just happened, “Nola, the maid,
ruined my dress with the iron. She was so scared she kneeled and apologized I told her it was okay, but she kept crying because
she thought she couldn’t afford to replace the dress
Once Karan finished, she waved at the still–crying Nola, “Nola, didn’t you see Miss Liana is back? Stop crying, go help in the
kitchen. Make sure to prepare some dishes Miss Liana likes...”
Nola looked a bit upset, glanced at Liana, but didn’t say anything. She just nodded obediently and headed for the kitchen.
The old Liana might not have noticed what was going on, but now she could see through the situation in an instant. Maybe it was
because she knew Karan’s cousin once bribed some thugs, that she realized her aunt was quite cunning...
She remembered how Tyler, when they were kids, criticized Karan for being manipulative. But because it was her aunt, Liana
never doubted anything Karan said or explained If she had been more suspicious back then, maybe she would have seen her
aunt’s true colors...
Thinking of this, Liana, with a calm expression, shook off Karan’s hand, sat on the couch, and stated her purpose, “Aunt Karan, I
came to talk about some past events Karan, about to sit on the couch, stiffened momentarily at hearing this. But she didn’t give
anything away and sat down, then asked with a smile. “What past events?”
Liana took a stack of documents from her bag and placed them on the coffee table, “It’s about your cousin Hubert Why did he
give money to some thugs after they were released from prison?”
