A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 952

Chapter 952

In the Laurence family, aside from Sigrid and her folks, Bernard, Veronica and Cedric Laurence were all present

Bernard was originally planning to bring Eleanor along, but Eleanor said her latest project had to do with the Sharp family.

She was worried that as his wife, if she showed up now, it would be obvious later when she was dealing with the Sharp family as Emilia, so she didn’t come

After meeting Kathanne, Peterson went home and met two other people, but they weren’t the right fit, so grandpa set him up with the Laurence family

His grandpa was a big fan of the Laurence family’s way of doing things, while Peterson was more impressed with Bernard’s business chops

Bernard was different from the others. He didn’t rely on marriage alliances or the worldly stuff, but rather on projects and competence.

His little brother, Taylor Laurence, snagged quite a few projects from the Sharp family when they moved into North Funland

Although it was Taylor who did all these, the man calling the shots behind the scenes was Bernard

Peterson wanted to see Bernard’s mettle, so he agreed to come.

Now that he was seeing Bernard in person, he felt like the guy had a powerful aura Everything about him screamed “blue blood“.

He was pretty sure that his big brother would really like Bernard, because they were both big shots in the business world.

After sizing up Bernard, Peterson turned his gaze to the others present, finally resting on Sigrid.

She seemed as reserved as Katharine, as if her mind was elsewhere. It seemed she also had a story to tell.

So, was he going to have to play a part in this drama too?

As Peterson was thinking, Sigrid’s parents called her over to get him a glass of water.

Dressed in an appropriate outfit, Sigrid rose to her feet, took a small water jug and filled his glass.

“Enjoy it”

Sigrid’s voice was quite pleasant Peterson gave her a look.

Seeing Peterson looking at their daughter, Sigrid’s parents exchanged glances.

“So, Peterson, what have you been up to lately?”

The Laurence family were heavyweights in A Country, while the Sharp family were big players in North Funland. Their strength and wealth were pretty much on par, so Sigrid was a good match for Peterson

Putting family background aside, Sigrid’s folks cared more about the other party’s capabilities

“Ive been working on some money–making projects”

As Peterson said this, a meaningful smile played on his lips.

Sigrid’s parents wanted to ask him what exactly he was doing, but he had summed it up in one sentence.

They wanted to ask for more details, but Bernard, sitting in the main seat, suddenly asked, “Do you fancy her?”

Peterson raised an eyebrow seeming a little surprised by Bernard’s directness. “We’re not that familiar with each other yet, need to get to know each other first.”

Bernard turned his head to look at Sigrid, who had been keeping her head down. “Are you okay with that?”

Sigrid reluctantly nodded her head “Let’s give it a shot”

Peterson could easily tell that Sigrid didn’t have any particular feelings for him.

Sigrid breathed a sigh of relief, while Bernard made a decision. “Alright, you guys get to know each other first, then consider an aliance if it works out.”

This statement was directed at Peterson, who nodded politely in agreement. “No problem”

Bernard glanced at his wristwatch. It’s getting late. You guys chat. I’ll leave first”

Peterson had thought that Bernard might use this opportunity to discuss the North Funland market with him, but instead he found Bernard already standing up to leave.

Since he didn’t want to take this opportunity to get closer to me, Peterson could only smile politely. “Mr. Laurence, take care.”

Bernard draped his suit jacket over his arm, also nodding politely to him before leaving.

Watching his retreating figure, Peterson thought that marrying into a family like this wouldn’t be so bad. It suited his style.

The two young people seemed to have a good impression of each other, so Sigrid’s parents wouldn’t interfere too much. “Peterson, please take good care of our daughter”

Peterson nodded politely again. The two families exchanged a few more words, then Sigrid’s parents got up to leave, giving the young people some space.

Once the elders had left, Peterson turned his gaze to Cedric. “Do you have a problem with me?”

Throughout the meeting. Sigrid’s family, including Sigrid herself, had all seemed satisfied with him.

Only Sigrid’s own brother had been glaring at him the whole time.

Veronica gave Cedric a light kick
