A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1246

Elbert looked at Bernard, who seemed pretty pissed off, with a glint of mischief in his eyes.

"How about this? We, the Pine family, admit defeat for this round. But everyone who's in this far must play the final round, only the rules for winning or losing will be reset. What do you think?"

Before Bernard could open his mouth, Cedric jumped up, all hyped up, "I'm in! Let's do this!"

No matter what, he had to save his own ship and those two robots!

Bernard didn't have much of a reaction, just wrapped an arm around Eleanor's waist, pulling her closer to him, then lifted his icy gaze to Robin.

"Do we continue?"

Robin's eyes flicked over Bernard's hand on Eleanor's waist, then quickly looked away.

"The game's not over yet, of course we continue!"

Bernard's hand moved from Eleanor's waist to the back of her head, giving a gentle press, and Eleanor leaned into his arms.

"Then let's proceed."

Though the intimate gesture was a little awkward in front of everyone, Eleanor cooperated obediently with Bernard.

She leaned into Bernard's arms, looking up at him. Robin saw this and felt a pang in his chest.

His fists clenched, he looked away, no longer looking at Eleanor.

After all, Bernard had warned him several times already, in a way that clearly marked his territory. It wasn't appropriate to keep looking.

But it wasn't that he wanted to look, it was just that his eyes were uncontrollable!

He couldn't possibly gouge out his own eyeballs, could he?

Elbert couldn't figure out the undercurrents between Bernard and Robin, so he just focused on the game at hand, "Mr. Laurence, shall we make it harder for the final round?"

Hailey, who was still in the game, shot Elbert a disgruntled look, "What's your next scheme?"

Elbert pulled two cards from the deck, one of them a joker.

"Bernard, you and I will draw cards. Whoever draws the joker first gets to set the rules. The rewards and punishments for winning or losing can be announced after the game."
