A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1028

After Chase left, Bryson moseyed over, "My lady, Robin wants to meet you."

Eleanor, deep in her research, was taken aback and looked up, "Me?"

She and Robin didn't cross paths often, and when they did, it was always by chance. This was the first time he'd sought her out.

"Did he say what it's about?"

"Nah, just asked you to step out."

The man next to her, holding a document, his fingers slightly stiff, his face gradually darkening.

Noticing this, Eleanor quickly grabbed his arm, reassuring him with a soft voice, "Sweetie, come with me."

Bernard managed a grimace, forcing a smile, "You go ahead, I've got things to handle."

Robin coming to see her this time didn't set Bernard off, nor did he give her the cold shoulder, he even managed a smile.

Assuming he really was busy, Eleanor didn't press him, got up, and headed outside.

Watching her petite figure slowly disappear from sight, Bernard clenched the document in his hand.

On a scorching summer afternoon, Eleanor walked through the gate to meet Robin, who was waiting outside. She shielded herself from the sun with a black parasol.

Robin was dressed neatly in a white shirt and grey trousers, but he seemed a bit goofy. Despite the heat, he insisted on standing in the sun, and the back of his shirt was soaked with sweat.

Concerned about his condition, Eleanor asked, "Mr. Spencer, what's the matter?"

Startled by her voice, Robin turned around, and his ears turned bright red as he saw Eleanor's face, which reminded him of a dream he had the previous night.

Noticing his flushed ears, Eleanor asked, "Why are your ears so red?"
