A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1285

Eleanor didn't agree with his rationale. "Mr. Spencer, I'm not going there for fun, I'm going to find my husband."

Robin glanced at her dismissively. "So what? You're looking for your husband, I'm looking for my brother-in-law. What's the issue?"

Baffled into silence by his retort, Eleanor found herself at a loss for words. Robin then asked her, "Do you have any idea what the situation is like in the Area Opaca?"

She hadn't asked Evan about the Area Opaca for fear of raising his suspicions. "I know where it is. That's enough."

Robin's aloof demeanor chilled slightly. "And how exactly do you know the location of the Area Opaca?"

Eleanor hesitated for a moment, then decided to trust Robin. She pulled out a golden leaf and a note, handed them to him. "A little girl gave these to me today."

Taking them, Robin glanced at the note before closely examining the golden leaf. "This is an invitation to the Area Opaca. The letter 'A' on the back stands for 'Ace', which is the nickname of Area Opaca."

He looked up from the leaf to Eleanor. "The people behind the Area Opaca send out these invitations to those they are particularly interested in. The fact that you received one means you've caught their attention."

Eleanor's brow furrowed. "Does their interest in me mean that Bernard is still alive and they want to use me as leverage to control him?"

Shaking his head, Robin replied, "I think they're using Bernard as bait to lure you in. After all, Bernard is already deeply involved in the Area Opaca. Whether he's dead or alive, they can control him directly."
