A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1288

The resolve in her eyes struck Robin to his core. It was as if he truly understood the depth of Eleanor's love for Bernard for the first time. It was a love so deep, so profound, it seemed to transcend life and death.

For Eleanor, Bernard was like the dawn. If the dawn failed to arrive, she would remain trapped in yesterday's twilight forever.

Life and death were not just words to them. They meant it.

When Robin grasped this, he felt a pang of inferiority for the first time. He realized he had lost to Bernard right from the start.

But even so, he had to do something for the feelings he had for Eleanor. Otherwise, what was the point of his affection?

Eleanor, oblivious to his tumultuous thoughts, said, "Mr. Spencer, I know you said Ace is very strict about rules, but choosing the wrong door could mean death. You don't have to go. I'll deal with Katharine's obsession."

Robin took her words as a sign of her looking down on him, which enraged him. "I've gathered a lot of people together. We're going in to take down Area Opaca. Do you think this is a game to me? And why do you believe that I can't be as lucky as you were in the past?"

Seeing that she couldn't dissuade him, Eleanor pulled out the golden leaf and explained, "The reasons I don't want you to go are firstly, I don't want to put you at risk. Secondly, without the golden leaf, I doubt the people from Area Opaca would let you in."

Wasn't it said that an invitation from Ace and their assessment were necessary to get in?

Robin couldn't understand why Ace, being of the same aristocratic lineage, didn't send him an invitation.

With this thought, Robin's anger soared. "I have my ways. You don't need to worry."

Despite Eleanor's attempt to persuade him further, Robin's frustration was at its peak. Seeing him on the edge of losing his temper, she finally kept quiet, started the car and quickly drove to the dock.

The two of them rode in silence to the dock. Eleanor opened the door and got out of the car, then went to the trunk to get her luggage.

Just as she was about to put her luggage on the ground, Robin pulled out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed her left wrist, then cuffed the other half to his right wrist.

Eleanor looked down at the handcuffs, her eyebrows furrowed in subconscious displeasure.

"So this is your plan?"
