Chapter 1306
Eleanor and Robin thought they would have a week’s break before the next round begins after the seventh round of the game, just like before. But as soon as they returned to their room, the mechanical voice immediately rang out.
“Players Eleanor and Robin, the fourth level, Elder Space, the eighth round of the game will start tomorrow. Please be prepared in advance.”
Eleanor and Robin exchanged glances. Could it be because the puppet master behind Scarface Man had been discovered, so the game was advanced?
It was highly probable that this was the case. Otherwise, why would the previously established rule of a one week interval between rounds suddenly change?
But who exactly was the puppet master behind Scarface Man, why would they send someone to help them without revealing any information?
Both of them were confused, but since they were already in the game, they had to follow the rules.
That night, Eleanor couldn’t sleep well. She tossed and turned on her bed, her mind filled with the scene of Scarface Man being devoured by snakes.
Ever since she arrived here, she had witnessed so much bloodshed. Every time, she would feel fear and terror, but this time was particularly different. Perhaps.. it was because of Caleb.
Robin, on the other bed, turned to her when he heard her tossing about. “If you can’t sleep, we can chat.”
Eleanor turned to him, her hands folded on her cheek, and asked him, “Do you think Caleb was really swallowed by the snakes?”
Robin knew the answer, but pretended not to know, shaking his head. “He’s so skilled. He should be able to fight his way out.”
Could he? Could Caleb kill all those snakes in just a few seconds?
Seeing Eleanor lost in thought, Robin spoke softly, comforting her. “Don’t think too much. We have another game tomorrow. Rest well.”
Eleanor asked, “What kind of game will it be tomorrow?”
Robin shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Eleanor asked again, “Do you think we can get through it?”
Robin nodded firmly. “Yes.”
Eleanor gave a bitter smile. “You’re quite the optimist.”
Robin raised an eyebrow. “Today, we made the blind choice correctly. It shows that we are the true aces. And no one can beat aces”
Eleanor chuckled. “A few months ago, we were indeed the aces at Cedric’s wedding yacht. I hope we can keep this luck tomorrow.”
Robin smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you make it to the ninth round.”
“If I make it to the ninth round, can I see him?”
Robin felt a slight pang in his heart, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.
“If the Death Door opens in the ninth round, the man in black will appear. He might come, or he might not.”
“I miss him.” Eleanor said softly after a long silence.
Robin didn’t feel like talking anymore. He turned over and rolled his eyes at the white wall.
After spending so much time with him, Eleanor was now able to sense his emotional changes. She knew that when he turned his back to her, he was annoyed.
She stared at his back for a moment, then called out, “Robin.”
Robin responded coldly, “What is it?”
Eleanor covered her stomach, a little embarrassed. “I… I’m hungry.”
Robin’s annoyance dissipated the moment he heard her soft voice. He got up, opened the bedside table, took out an apple, and handed it to Eleanor.
“It’s left over from dinner.”
He knew she was pregnant and often hungry at night, so he had gotten into the habit of leaving some food for her.
Eleanor took the apple and started munching on it quietly.
“Robin.” As Robin turned to go back to his bed, Eleanor suddenly called out to him again.
“Thank you.”
If it weren’t for his companionship and care, Eleanor would have had a hard time making it this far.
Seeing the sincerity in her eyes, Robin waved his hand nonchalantly, “After we get out, give me all the prize money you win.”
“Do you need money?”
No, but a few billion is not a small amount. It will be a great gift for my future wife.
Eleanor smiled, “Do you have someone you like?”
Robin looked at Eleanor, her gentle smile glowing in the dim moonlight, “Yes.”
“Who is it?”
“Do you want to know?”
“Yes,”

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...
