A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1291

But Robin's nonchalance, in Eleanor's eyes, was crystal clear idiocy.

Barely suppressing her impatience, she unbuttoned Robin's blazer, looking for his house key.

After searching every pocket, no key was found. Eleanor's heart sank.

"You didn't forget your key, did you?"

"Impossible!"

Robin frowned, searching his pockets again, but to no avail.

"It must have been some guys form Area Opaca who took my keys!"

He clenched his fists in fury. "Those jerks, I swear if I find them, I won't show mercy!"

Eleanor arched a brow, "They even brought my suitcase, why would they only take your key?"

"What?" Robin looked at her, astounded.

Eleanor pointed her chin towards a corner, "Over there."

Following her gaze, Robin saw a suitcase in the corner.

He was in disbelief, "They let you bring a suitcase, but they took my key? Are they targeting me?"

Aside from the key, all his other belongings had been seized – his cell phone, switchblade, poison vials, tracking devices, everything he could have used for defense was gone.

Tech gadgets were naturally confiscated, Eleanor didn't mind, but the key to the handcuffs, didn't that mean she was stuck with Robin?

Robin seemed to realize this as well, turning to look at Eleanor. She was also looking at him and their eyes met for a brief moment before they both looked away.

They sat against the wall in silence until Robin finally broke the silence, "Is there a knife in your suitcase?"

Before entering Area Opaca, she had splurged on Robin's behalf, and now, he'd lost the key, leaving them handcuffed together.

Eleanor was naturally upset and didn't feel like entertaining him, but out of courtesy, she replied, "No."
