A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1028

chapter 1028

After Chase left, Bryson moseyed over, “My lady, Robin wants to meet you.”

Eleanor, deep in her research, was taken aback and looked up, “Me?”

She and Robin didn’t cross paths often, and when they did, it was always by chance. This was the first time he’d sought her out.

“Did he say what it’s about?”

“Nah, just asked you to step out.”

The man next to her, holding a document, his fingers slightly stiff, his face gradually darkening.

Noticing this, Eleanor quickly grabbed his arm, reassuring him with a soft voice, “Sweetie, come with me.”

Bernard managed a grimace, forcing a smile, “You go ahead, I’ve got things to handle.”

Robin coming to see her this time didn’t set Bernard off, nor did he give her the cold shoulder, he even managed a smile.

Assuming he really was busy, Eleanor didn’t press him, got up, and headed outside.

Watching her petite figure slowly disappear from sight, Bernard clenched the document in his

hand.

On a scorching summer afternoon, Eleanor walked through the gate to meet Robin, who was waiting outside. She shielded herself from the sun with a black parasol.

Robin was dressed neatly in a white shirt and grey trousers, but he seemed a bit goofy. Despite the heat, he insisted on standing in the sun, and the back of his shirt was soaked with sweat.

Concerned about his condition, Eleanor asked, “Mr. Spencer, what’s the matter?”

Startled by her voice, Robin turned around, and his ears turned bright red as he saw Eleanor’s face, which reminded him of a dream he had the previous night.

Noticing his flushed ears, Eleanor asked, “Why are your ears so red?”

Panicking, Robin thought she might have discovered his dream, so he quickly covered his ears in response.

Just as he did, Eleanor said, “Keep this up, and you’ll get a sunburn.”

So, she thought it was due to the sun. Robin’s racing heart gradually relaxed, “No worries, I ain’t afraid of a little sun.”

Eleanor couldn’t care less whether he was afraid of the sun or not, “Spill, why are you here?”

Robin finally declared his purpose, “My sister and Caleb sent some stuff from their trip, asked me to deliver some to you.”

Chapter 1028

Although Caleb was now with Katharine Spencer, he was still part of Bernard’s crew. He would normally send stuff directly to Bernard. Why would he ask Robin to deliver?

Eleanor shot Robin a puzzled look, “Why wouldn’t Caleb just send it to us?”

As if he could read her eyes, Robin quickly explained, “Probably my sister, trying to get me

closer to Bernard.”

As if fearing Eleanor wouldn’t believe him, he added with a hint of pride, “But I ain’t getting chummy with him, so I came to you.”

Her suspicions allayed, Eleanor didn’t press, “If you don’t wanna get chummy, you could’ve just had a bodyguard deliver it.”

When Robin received the package, he initially planned to have someone else deliver it, but for some reason, he ended up deciding to do it himself.

Faced with Eleanor’s questioning and unable to explain his actions even to himself, he quickly came up with an excuse, “The guard’s not around.”

Intrigued by his response, Eleanor asked curiously, “Did you manage to tick them all off?”

Robin remained silent, shooting her an impatient look, “Just tell me, do you want the stuff or

not?”

Realizing he was getting agitated again, Eleanor decided to curb her curiosity and simply reached out to him, saying, “Hand it over.”

Only then did Robin turn around, open the car door, and feel a cool breeze as he bent down to get the package. The breeze helped cool him down, but it also reminded him of how odd his behavior had been. Hand–delivering the package was one thing, but waiting at the gate, as if he were genuinely excited to see her, was quite unusual.

He couldn’t help but think about the dream he had last night just because he touched her waist. He could’ve strangled himself.
