A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 898

Bernard’s eyes fluttered open languidly, casting a frosty gaze upon the fidgety Robin Spencer, “You honestly think that on your mere say so, I should skedaddle? Who do you fancy yourself to be?”

Bernard’s air of superiority grated Robin the wrong way, yet he had to bite his tongue. “Why else would I trouble myself to seek you out, if this didn’t concern you?

A sardonic laughter escaped Bernard’s lips, Robin, unless my memory fails me, you and I share a bond of hostility. If this ‘urgent issue indeed involves me, wouldn’t you relish my misfortune instead of seeking me out?”

A valid point indeed Should Bernard fall into dire straits, Robin would undoubtedly be the first to revel. But the present circumstances dictated otherwise, “Fine, remain immobile if you wish. But don’t claim ignorance when Evelyn Ziegler whisks away your wife’s niece”

Evelyn had recently engaged a high profile international attorney, freshly returned to their homeland, with the intent of legally confronting Eleanor within days. Aware of Evelyn’s scheme. Robin saw this as a fitting pretext to steer Bernard out of the equation

She pretended to be very worried and asked Robin, looking genuinely concerned. She even stood up, resting her hands on the table, staring at Robin standing outside the
