So it was her beauty that first caught his eye, but as they spent time together, the admiration slowly blossomed into love. Yes, Robin used the word love. He loved her, and that's why he wanted the best for her.
Just like now, Eleanor had made it through the ordeal of childbirth, living happily ever after with her husband and son. And Robin, he was genuinely happy for her.
Sure, he might occasionally butt heads with Bernard, but that didn't mean he wanted to wreck Eleanor's home. Because he never even entertained the thought, so his love for her would forever remain unspoken...
Robin buried this love deep in his heart, smiled, and raised his glass to Peterson with a mischievous eyebrow lift, "I've got a thing for the good-looking ones. If you come across anyone even more stunning than Eleanor, be sure to send her my way..."
Robin played it cool, and after scrutinizing him for a moment, Peterson couldn't detect a hint of his true feelings and nodded, "No problem. But with your high standards, it's going to be tough. Still, if I meet someone, you'll be the first to know."
With a chuckle, Robin lifted his glass and clinked it against Peterson's, "And it's not just pretty faces I'm after. Save some good business deals for me too, or else Laurence Group will corner the market, and the Sharps will be left in the dust."
Peterson retorted with a smirk, "Be my guest, if you think you can handle it." But before Robin could reply, the distinct sound of a slap echoed through the restaurant—
A resounding smack sent a woman tumbling to the floor, unable to rise. "Starry, listen up. I'll play with as many women as I want, and if I feel like hitting you, I will. Don't think just because you're a Sharp heiress that you can control me!"

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...
