A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 860

So far, the only word Robin had for Eleanor was ignorant.

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 Bernard'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?!"

Compared to Robin, who had a short fuse, Elbert seemed to have more patience.

"My relative saw you on TV receiving an award and said you looked just like another relative of mine when she was young. So, don't use the plastic surgery excuse anymore."

So, it was during the award ceremony that she was spotted by Robin's mom, which sparked the suspicion.

Why would Robin's mom be interested in an architecture award ceremony? There wasn't even a live broadcast of their ceremony, only news reports uploaded to the internet, so how did she happen to see it?

Was Robin's mom always keeping tabs on the architecture industry? Was the person who really wanted to find Emilia, Robin's mom?

On consideration, Eleanor concluded that must be the case. Otherwise, Robin's mom wouldn't pay attention to the architecture industry. She must know that Emilia was a renowned international architect, which was why she kept an eye on the industry.

But why did Robin's mom want to find Emilia?
