Eleanor, “The air conditioning is broken, are you hot?”
Chapter 1032
Eleanor looked up at the central space and asked, “Wasn’t everything fine just a moment ago? Why did it suddenly break down? The equipment at Fiord Roundabout is top–notch and has never had any issues. Why did it break tonight?”
Bernard spoke in a cold tone, “Bryson, go and take a look,”
Bryson agreed and went down, but he didn’t call anyone to fix the air conditioning He just stood outside the door.
With the air conditioning broken, it was very hot. Eleanor was wearing a bit too much clothing and soon couldn’t bear it. Feeling the heat, she couldn’t help but raise her hand and loosen the tightly wrapped scarf around her neck.
Robin occasionally stole glances at her and accidentally noticed the love bites on her neck. Blue and purple, a dense cluster of love bites, just like the ones he had seen in his dreams…
Yes, she was the subject of his first sexual fantasies, someone else’s wife. All the tenderness, passion, madness, and intensity were directed at her However, his desires were just fantasies.
In contrast, Bernard’s desires were real.
Bernard’s, on the other hand, was a reality
Realizing this, Robin lowered his head in frustration.
Bernard who saw his mood change quickly figured out Robin’s thoughts.
Ever since they were kids, he’s always been competing with Bernard for everything. Now, even his woman was in his sights. Robin sure had guts
Bernard’s gaze suddenly exuded a chilling frost, “Mr. Spencer, my wife and I promised to love each other forever.”
When he said this, his bright eyes stared fixedly at Robin’s face, as if warning him not to fantasize.
Robin’s first fluttering heart suddenly came to a halt.
Despite feeling uneasy, Robin pretended not to understand the underlying tension. He glanced at both of them and forced a light hearted laugh, saying, “Is that so? Then I wish you both… eternal happiness”
Acknowledging his place, Bernard lifted his chin with arrogance and replied, “Thank you”
Eleanor couldn’t fully comprehend the unspoken agreement between the two men, but she sensed that something wasn’t quite right. It seemed Bernard’s invitation to dinner wasn’t for reconciliation, but rather to discuss their past.
As for Robin, Eleanor didn’t pay close attention to his expressions, so she remained unaware of what he was truly thinking. However, his remark about ‘eternal happiness” sounded bitter to her, and she glanced at him subconsciously.
But Robin quickly averted his gaze, put down his cutlery, and stood up, stating, “I have something to do, I’ll go first.”
Having accomplished his intention, Bernard didn’t object, “Take care, no need for me to see you out.”
Once he left Fiord Roundabout, Robin’s legs felt weak, and he leaned against a wall to steady himself. Gazing at the starry night sky, the beautiful scenery helped calm his cluttered mind. After a while, he regained his composure, slowly moved his heavy steps, got into his car, and drove home
Upon seeing Robin’s somber expression upon his return, Nathan asked with concern, ‘Mr. Spencer, did Bernard poison you?“/
Robin suddenly pushed him away. “This is a big problem.”
He staggered and fell on the sofa, looking up with lifeless eyes, staring at the chandelier on the ceiling.
His dejected appearance stanled Nathan, who rushed over, “Mr. Spencer, are you hurt somewhere?”
Robin pointed at his chest, “My heart hurts a bit, but it’s nothing serious.”
Nathan thought he had a heart problem, and was frightened, “We can’t take this lightly, heart problems are serious. We need to go to the hospital immediately.
Robin’s eyes filled with hope, “Can the hospital cure it?”
Nathan nodded vigorously. “Of course, the hospital can treat all diseases”

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...
