Chapter 1031
Robin was taken aback. He looked down at his hands, those hands that had once held Eleanor…
So, this is what it feels like to be in love?
A
Katharine once told him that if you like someone, your heart will beat faster, you’ll feel happy when you see her and sad when you can’t
You’d have a strong desire to possess her, to not tolerate anyone else gelling close. He felt this way about Eleanor, but…
The first woman he had ever been attracted to was Eleanor, a woman he once looked down on a woman Bernard deeply loved.
He found it hard to accept. He took a step back and then turned to leave “I just remembered, I’ve got stuff to do. Catch you later”
He intended to skedaddie quickly, but Bernard’s cool voice sounded behind him, “Mr. Spencer, you really should stay for dinner, no matter what”
Robin turned around and looked at the noble and elegant man. “Why?”
Bernard didn’t answer him, only asked Bryson, “Is everything ready?”
Bryson nodded, “Everything is ready. We can start the meal now”
Bernard smiled and said, “Mr Spencer, shall we?”
Robin glanced at the bodyguard standing outside the door, then followed him into the dining room apprehensively.
Eleanor was already in the dining room. As soon as she saw them, she immediately invited them to eat.
Bernard naturally walked to Eleanor’s side and gently stroked her hair
Seeing their intimate gesture, Robin, who had just realized his feelings, felt a little bitter in his heart.
He suppressed his feelings and sat across from them
Just as he picked up his knife and fork, he saw Eleanor scoop a bowl of soup and placed it next to Bernard.
Then she, with the politeness of a hostess, invited him to enjoy his meal.
But Robin had no appetite at all.
However, Bernard seemed to enjoy his meal quite a bit. “Honey, feed me.”
If everything before was merely testing the waters, this moment marked the official plunge into unfamiliar territory.
Uncertain about Bernard’s intentions, Robin couldn’t shake the feeling that Bernard was doing it deliberately
However, when he witnessed Eleanor picking up a spoon and naturally feeding soup to Bernard, Robin realized that this was simply a normal interaction between a married couple.
Giving a bitter smile, he remarked. “You two are really affectionate”
Bernard’s cold gaze shifted from Eleanor to Robin, and he uttered two words, “12 years.”
Twelve years – such a long time. It made Robin wonder: What makes him think he can take Eleanor away from Bernard?
Lost in his thoughts, Robin was abruptly brought back to reality as he saw Bernard reach out, gently grasp Eleanor’s chin, and kiss her.
Instinctively, Robin clenched his fist. His pupils dilated as he watched their lips meet, and an unexpected ache gripped his heart.
Bernard stole a glance at Robin during the kiss, noticing his pale face, and a cold smile crept onto his lips.
In front of Robin, he slowly released Eleanor, leaned in close to her ear, and gently said, “Thank you”
The thanks he was expressing was because she had just helped him drink the soup. This was a common occurrence between them, and Eleanor was used to it.
Only today with someone else present, she felt a bit shy and gave Bernard a sidelong glance, “This isn’t appropriate…
Bernard obediently nodded. “Alright, whatever you say”
What’s with this man today, speaking as sweet as honey?
Eleanor glanced at Robin, who didn’t look too good, was her husband intentionally riling up this single guy?
Eleanor had no idea what the two men were arguing about. She looked at Bernard and then at Robin, finally deciding to focus on her meal.

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...
