A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1240

Chapter 1240

Robin’s deep, melancholy eyes landed on Bernard, then drifted to Eleanor standing beside him. As Eleanor lifted her head to look at him, their eyes met. Robin quickly averted his gaze.

Bernard, holding Eleanor’s hand, noticed Robin’s sneaky glances at his wife. Subconsciously, he let go of Eleanor’s hand and wrapped his arm tightly around her waist instead, then tilted his head slightly, looking at Robin with disdain.

Feeling Bernard’s glare, Robin clenched his fists and turned to Caleb beside him. Caleb caught his signal and stepped in to clear the air. “Mr. Laurence, Robin says Eleanor is also part of the Pine family. Her sister’s getting married, so of course they had to come and bring a gift. So, I brought these two.”

– After explaining, Caleb flashed a big smile, awkwardly grinning at Bernard and Eleanor. His facial expression and eyes hinted that he was bullshitting. In

reality, Robin and Elbert had tagged along because they heard Caleb was bringing Katharine to the wedding!

Bernard didn’t feel like dealing with their nonsense and wanted to take Eleanor away. But they were guests, and Eleanor didn’t want to make it awkward. “The bride and groom are in the lounge,” she said. “Caleb, why don’t you take them in…”

Caleb mentally gave Eleanor a thumbs-up, then took Katharine’s hand, turning to the smug-looking Robin. “Robin, let’s go in first…”

For Katharine’s sake, Caleb had to suck up to Robin, either by showering him with praise or coaxing him with kind words. He put in even more effort with Robin than with Katharine. Finally, Robin accepted him as his brother-in-law.

Robin glanced at Caleb, then walked towards the wedding hall. As he passed Bernard, he deliberately bumped into his shoulder. But instead of knocking Bernard aside, he stumbled and almost fell.

Bernard quickly grabbed Robin to prevent him from falling, then looked down at him with a smirk. “Mr. Spencer,” he said. “If you’re not feeling well, remember to take some supplements. Don’t end up dying before you even get married.”

Robin was fuming, just as he was about to retort, he noticed Eleanor staring at his waist. Her gaze seemed to question whether he was unable to get a

wife because of his waist!

With so many people around, Robin could not defend himself. He shook off Bernard’s hand, raised a finger, pointed at Bernard with gritted teeth, then stormed off towards the hall.

As Robin entered, Elbert, who acted as if he was holding a treasure, handed a bouquet of flowers to Eleanor. “Eleanor, it’s been so long. These flowers are for you. May you always stay young, beautiful, and healthy.”

Eleanor smiled and thanked him for the flowers.

Elbert responded with a smile, “You’re welcome.”

After saying this, Elbert gave Bernard, who was looking rather glum, a provocative glance. “Eleanor, if you like the flowers I gave you, can I send you a bouquet every day?”

Actually, giving a bouquet every day was Bernard’s privilege. Elbert didn’t know that he had stepped on Bernard’s toes.

Seeing Bernard’s face darken and his fingers clench into a fist, Eleanor quickly declined, “It’s okay. My husband/gives me roses every day. One bouquet is enough.”

Elbert just shrugged, “No problem. If you don’t need flowers, I can send you something else. As long as you’re happy.”

Eleanor forced a stiff smile and gave Elbert an awkward grin. In her memory, Elbert was a free-spirited boy. But after only a few encounters, how did he turn into such a greasy man?
