Chapter 1367 Seeing what was placed in her palm, Eleanor looked up at her older uncle, Cyril Sharp, who was driving, and her second uncle, Derrick Sharp, in the passenger seat. They were both looking at her through the rear view mirror.
âDonât you like it?â
Eleanor shook her head. She used to dislike these things, but now that sheâs pregnant, sheâs developed a longing for these sour foods.
âThank you.â After thanking them, she opened the snack bag, took out a plum, and put it in her mouth. The sour flavor quickly dissipated the stuffiness in the car.
Seeing her quietly munching on her snack, Derrick couldnât help but smile. If his own sister was still alive, she would probably look like this, right?
âHad we known about you earlier, we wouldnât have waited for your grandfather to step in. Your uncle and I would have been the first ones to bring you home.â
Eleanor held the bag in her hand, still silent. Itâs not that she didnât want to speak, but she didnât know what to say.
Understanding her shyness, Derrick straightened his posture after his comment and focused on the road ahead, not bothering her anymore.
Sitting next to them, Yates glanced at his two sons and then at Eleanorâs snack. After a long pondering, he took out a box of cookies from a nearby container and, mimicking his sons, offered it to Eleanor, âItâs a long journey, eat some if youâre hungry.â
Eleanor looked at the box of cookies and slightly furrowed her brows.
âThey are so dry, I canât even swallow them.â
âOh my bad.â Feeling a bit embarrassed, Yates took back the cookies and took out a bottle of water instead, âThen have some water.â
Eleanor glanced at him, âIâm not thirsty.â
Everyone in the car laughed upon seeing this. It was quite rare to see the usually serious old man in such an awkward situation.
âWhatâs that saying again?â
The brothers, born from the same mother, exchanged a glance, understanding each otherâs thoughts, âMissing the mark and making it worseâ
The last three words were said quietly by Cyril, so Yates didnât hear it clearly..
While Yates didnât get it, the three young people in the backseat couldnât help but smirk, especially Peterson. Used to being oppressed by his grandfather, he hoped Eleanor would tease Old Yates more, so he wouldnât bully the young ones.
The journey to the cemetery was pleasant, with no discomfort. Everyone was considerate towards Eleanor.
Before getting off the car, Cyril explained to Eleanor, fearing that visiting a cemetery while pregnant might harm her unborn child.
âTraditionally, itâs not appropriate for a pregnant woman to visit a cemetery. But my father insisted on bringing you here to see it, you donât have to go in.â
Eleanor touched her belly. She didnât believe in superstitions, so since they were already there, she decided to pay her respects to the woman who had given life to her mother. Seeing Eleanorâs decision, the Sharp family was surprised, but then they accompanied her into the cemetery, which was spacious with fewer graves than one might expect. Paulineâs grave stood alone in a patch of greenery, surrounded by flowers and trees. Clearly, Yates had genuine feelings for Pauline.
The Sharp family paid their respects to Pauline, while Eleanor silently spoke to the photograph on the tombstone.
âMother, Iâve seen your mother now. I know her name, when she was born, when she died, and where she is now. Iâve seen her for you and paid my respects. May she rest in peace.â
Yates, dressed in a suit, stood in front of the tombstone, not touching it and mumbling as he usually did. He was still upset with Pauline for sending their daughter away and using this method to take revenge on him.
After everyone had paid their respects and slowly left the cemetery, only Yates lingered before turning around.
Pauline, Iâve found our daughterâs descendants. Rest assured, Iâll take good care of them.
Before getting into the car, Eleanor turned around to look at Yates. The old man with white hair was still energetic, though his steps were a bit shaky.
Eleanor watched him for a few seconds before getting into the car. Peterson mentioned there was a dinner party that evening, and he wanted to take Eleanor to get a makeover and buy some new clothes.
Yates told the Sharps accompany her shopping and set a curfew for eight oâclock that evening.
The dinner wasnât held in a fancy place, but in Paulineâs house. He believed that by hosting it there, Pauline would be able to see it. Such a stubborn and devoted old man. The Sharp brothers, away from their elders, seemed more relaxed. Bevis, who usually seemed rigid, was a different person A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

behind the wheel, driving the car like a sports car on the open road.
Antoine, worried that Eleanor might not feel well, asked Bevis to be careful while considering closing the window. However, he saw Eleanor slightly turning her face to the wind.
He paused his hand that was about to close the window, âThe roads here are wide, and there are many trees. It feels nice to feel the natural breeze.
Have you considered staying here permanently?â
