Chapter 1029
The last person he ever wanted to think about was Bernard’s woman.
And now?
He’s actually pondering over Bernard’s woman?
Robin was so annoyed with himself!
He suppressed his anger, took a gift box from the front passenger seat and stuffed it into Eleanor’s hands.
He had intended to leave after delivering the gift but because he was in a hurry, his fingertips. accidentally brushed against her hand.
The warm touch startled him and he jerked his hand away as if he had been burned.
Even after he moved away, his fingertips still felt like they had been scorched.
He took a few steps back, quickly went around the front of the car, got in, and floored the gas pedal.
Eleanor was just about to look up and say ‘thank you‘, when she saw Robin’s car crash into a tree by the roadside.
She was so shocked that she widened her eyes. Before she could react, the car quickly backed out and sped away.
In just a moment, the car had swerved around a few roads and drove up the hillside next to the
sea…
From a distance, she could still see the white figure who, after getting out of the car, kicked the car door furiously.
Eleanor thought Robin was acting very strange, but she didn’t pay it any mind and turned around to return to the castle with the gift box.
Bernard was still sitting on the sofa, gazing deeply at some documents.
Eleanor put the gift box in front of him, “This is a souvenir from Caleb’s trip, do you want to open it and see what it is?”
The man didn’t seem interested in her, but remembering the lesson from last night, he quickly looked up at her and nodded, “Go ahead.”
Inside the gift box, Eleanor found a picture frame displaying Caleb and Katharine sitting in a meadow, radiating happiness. The glass piece was adorned with a bouquet of everlastings, and in the lower right corner were the names of Eleanor and Bernard, accompanied by heartfelt wishes of eternal love.
Upon seeing these thoughtful gifts, Eleanor felt overjoyed. She smiled at Bernard and

suggested, “Dear, the next time we go on a trip, we should also send them gifts.”
However, Bernard seemed preoccupied, and inattentively replied, “Okay.”
Eleanor was accustomed to his distant demeanor. She picked up the picture frame and the everlasting flowers, deciding to place them on her desk in the study.
Meanwhile, Bernard, seated on the sofa, continued to gaze at the gift box for a long time. Eventually, he called for Bryson, saying, “Please invite Mr. Spencer to have dinner.”
Bryson was taken aback and protested, “Mr. Laurence, you want to invite Robin to dinner? He’s your enemy!”
Bernard looked at Bryson coldly and stated, “His sister sent us a gift. Out of gratitude, shouldn’t I extend an invitation for a meal?”
Bryson, who was old and didn’t understand the complicated situation, knew that Bernard was jealous, “I’ll go invite him right away!”
Hearing that Bernard had invited him for dinner, Robin’s pupils gradually dilated, “What does he mean?”

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
