A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1004

Robin clenched his fists tight, holding back the pain.

"Why does everyone keep bothering me about Cedric? It's so annoying."

"So you mean if I take care of you, you can let Cedric off the hook?"

Robin, who looked irritated, had the fire in his eyes slowly fade away after hearing that.

"You're agreeing to take care of me?"

Before Eleanor could respond, Sigrid tugged at her sleeve.

"It's not worth it, sacrificing for my brother."

"It's okay."

Eleanor gently patted her hand, soothing her.

"Your mother belongs to the Pine family, and my mother grew up in the Pine family too. We have some connection and history. It's reasonable for me to call you cousin, and you feel the same. So I'm going to boldly take on this cousin role. It has no problem for me to look after my cousin, but..."

Eleanor paused, her eyes gently lifted, revealing a tender smile.

"I’m your cousin and Cedric is my brother, so indirectly you guys are somewhat related. Mr. Spencer, could you perhaps cut Cedric some slack for this relation's sake?"

Robin took a glance at Eleanor, standing far away, with a soft smile on her face and gentle eyes.

"By your logic, simplifying the relationship, Cedric could be considered my brother too?"

That was indeed the case.

That's what Eleanor thought, but her face was filled with an innocent smile as she nodded at him.

"As my cousin, can you let this slide, considering the relationship? Please?"

Her voice was as soothing as a flowing stream.

The furious Robin, upon hearing her gentle voice, had his anger gradually settling down.

He lifted his eyes, staring at Eleanor, and found himself thinking that Bernard's wife was quite a sight...

Upon realizing this, Robin was startled and decided to see a neurologist later. Something must be wrong with his brain.

"So you're just trying to avoid looking after me. Don't say one thing and do another."
