Chapter 905
The moment Bernard answered the call, Caleb didn’t give him a chance to utter a word. He shouted, “Hey, Dad, it’s Caleb How’s that memory of yours?”
Bernard….
He began to suspect that Caleb’s association with the Spencer family was diminishing his intellect His ruse was pitiful, on par with Robin’s pathetic attempts. Suspecting someone else was in Caleb’s company, Bernard decided to play along feigning an aged tone, “A slight improvement, but it still need a doctor’s consultation.
Kathanne, hearing the deep masculine voice on the line, relaxed her grip on the gun slightly and gestured to Caleb to maintain the conversation.
Catching Katharine’s unsuspecting gaze, Caleb nonchalantly proceeded, “So, when are you planning to see the doctor? Have you made an appointment?”
Bernard, his fingers drumming on the glass table, replied icily, “Your mother will accompany me to the doctor in G country tomorrow. If you have time, bring your fiancée along
When Caleb heard Bernard’s words, accompanied by the tapping on the table, he knew it was Morse code.
He quickly understood Bernard’s meaning. He wanted Caleb to bring Katharine to the destination. Even though he didn’t know Bernard’s real purpose, he would still do as told “Alright, when do we meet?”
Bernard said expressionlessly, “Eight o’clock tomorrow night”
Caleb nodded obediently. “No problem, 111 bring her to meet you guys tomorrow”
After Bernard hung up the phone, Caleb put away his phone and looked at Katharine, “Did you hear that? My dad’s coming to G country. He wants me to bring you to see them. See, I wasn’t lying to you, was 17”
Katharine heard all the conversation, she put down her gun and said, “The fiancee you mentioned.. is it me?”
Katharine looked somewhat taken aback. In her view, she and Caleb were merely fooling around. Had Caleb seriously considered marrying her?
Observing Kathanne’s beautiful face, Caleb felt a pang of guilt
However, Bernard remained his priority, an unwavering position in his heart. Thus, he hardened his resolve and continued to mislead Katharine.
“Yes, I’ve spoken about you to my parents. They’re quite intrigued and have been longing to meet you…
While uttering these words, his thoughts were preoccupied with acquiring a sedative for Katharine the following day, without which he wouldn’t be able to take her away
Unaware of Caleb’s internal machinations, Katharine found herself emotionally stirred by his declarations
She’d had previous boyfriends, but they all found her too intimidating. None wanted to marry her; they merely viewed her as an amusement. Caleb was the first….
Katharine approached Caleb, slung her arms around his neck, pressed her lips against his, and whispered, “Caleb, I thought you were merely playing games. I hadn’t anticipated your sincerity…”
Caleb stiffened, a sense of guilt rising in his heart
He really wanted to tell Katharine that his real name wasn’t Caleb. It was just a pseudonym he used for the mission.
He didn’t have a real name. The name “Caleb” was a code given to him by Mr. Penrod when he joined the Siren Organization, cede name $0883Caleb.
But Caleb knew well that this secret should never be known to anyone, especially Katharine, who had feelings for him….

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...
