Chapter 860
He was aware that she had been brought up in an orphanage and had willingly become Bernard’s mistress to rescue her ex–boyfriend–a relationship that had endured five years Given these facts, Robin assumed that her education wasn’t particularly impressive
But was she truly that lacking”
He tried to console himself that Eleanor simply had a few quirks–nothing serious.
“Bernard must be aware of your history. If he hasn’t told you, you can ask him. He’ll tell you” Robin claimed. Bernard was no simpleton–he had to be aware of Eleanor’s identity he just hadn’t disclosed it Robin himself wouldn’t tell Eleanor either.
It was only Eleanor s naivety that made her appear less than smart, and who would disclose such crucial information to a scatterbrain?
Despite Bemard’s silence, he was a faithful companion, even to the extent of marrying such a ditz. And he married someone from the Pine family Wasn’t he afraid of being found out by the Laurence family?
With that thought, Robin suddenly realized something..
Eleanor was his cousin, and she was married to Bernard. That meant Bernard was his in–law
No way, he was NOT going to be related to Bernard!!!
The more he thought about it, the more it seemed off, and Robin suddenly didn’t want to acknowledge Eleanor as his cousin any more.
But he was a dutiful guy, so he swallowed it down.
“Why should I listen to you and ask my husband such a dumb question? Eleanor played dumb.
Robin’s anger, which he had just suppressed, flared up again.
“You, woman, why can’t you understand?!”
“What are you talking about? I just need to stay pretty every day anyway”
Robin was on the brink of losing control, eager to confront her, but Elbert held him back.
“Allow me to deal with this, just let me…
Elbert managed to calm the irate Robin and turned to Eleanor, displaying a friendly face
“Do you recall when I mentioned that you bear a resemblance to one of my relatives?”
Upon noticing that Elbert was in Robin’s company. Eleanor’s expression altered subtly, but she nodded, feigning ignorance.
“Yes, I remember. But didn’t I tell you I underwent surgery to look like Emilia? Have you forgotten my previous appearance? Want another glimpse?” As she spoke, Eleanor reached for her phone in her pocket, but Elbert quickly intervened.
“No need to show me that unpleasant picture.”
Compared to Robin, who had a short fuse, Elbert seemed to have more patience.

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...
