Robin first set foot into Fiord Roundabout, and was a bit taken aback by the surroundings.
Bryson trailed behind him, chiming in, “Mr. Spencer, everything you see here, is all Mrs. Laurence’s doing.”
Robin tightened his lips and muttered, “None of my business.”
With a smirk, Bryson responded, “Well yeah, it’s got nothing to do with Mr. Spencer, just giving you the rundown.”
Ignoring him, Robin headed straight into the castle.
Just inside the entrance, he noticed the walls adorned with wedding photos of newlyweds.
In each pic, the couple was gazing into each other’s eyes, beaming with joy.
After a quick look around, his gaze landed on Bernard, standing by the spiral staircase.
The guy in the white shirt, slightly tilting his head, looked at him with a glint in his eyes, as if trying to convey something.
Just as Robin was about to question why he was invited for dinner, Eleanor bolted in from behind, hugging Bernard tightly.
“Honey, Pearce Hooper hit me with another architecture problem, it’s so hard I can’t crack it. Can you help?”
Eleanor usually had a poker face in front of him. This was the first time he saw her acting all girly, snuggling up to her husband.
Her husband...
Something clicked in Robin's mind. He kept his emotions under wraps and took a step forward.
“Weren’t we supposed to have dinner? Where’s the grub?”
Hearing Robin’s voice, Eleanor peeked out from behind Bernard.
“What the... Mr. Spencer, what are you doing here?”
“I invited him.”
Bernard lifted his hand, holding Eleanor’s wrist tight, and then intertwined his fingers with hers.
“Mr. Spencer, dinner isn't ready. Maybe sit for a bit?”
For some reason, Robin’s eyes darted to their intertwined hands.
He sensed something off, and when he tried to look away, he found himself caught by Bernard’s probing, gloomy gaze, making him feel guilty as hell.
“Mr. Spencer, this way please.”
