A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 861

Eleanor was still trying to get her head around things when Elbert took a step forward. He was talking to her from a distance, through the fence.

"Maybe I would've believed you didn't know anything about your origin if you hadn't lied to me about getting plastic surgery.

"You not only deceived me, but also wouldn't let me take pictures, and even covered yourself with a scarf out of fear that my father would recognize you.

"All of this shows that you knew all along how much you resemble your mother when she was young. So you were scared we'd recognize you."

With just a few sentences, Elbert had busted Eleanor's lies.

Robin, who had originally planned to hop in the car and leave everything to Elbert, suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Eleanor.

Her demeanor had shifted from being smug to calm and serious, her eyes sparkling with clarity.

So... was Eleanor, who apparently knew everything, just messing with him?!

With a scoff, Robin strode forward, brushing past the bodyguards with determination, and stood in front of Eleanor.

Only a metal gate separated them, but through it, Robin could clearly see Eleanor's features.

She had striking eyebrows, beautiful eyes, and vibrant lips. Her hair, like seaweed, flowed to her waist. She was slim, her waist small, her scent fresh, and her charm irresistible. Her deep, star-reflecting eyes captivated Robin. He'd seen Eleanor before but hadn't truly noticed her. Now her image was indelible.

"Elbert has made his point. Stop toying with us."

Eleanor's eyes flickered, betraying nothing, as she watched Robin, held at gunpoint by the bodyguards.

Elbert tried to push past the bodyguard blocking him, but couldn't. He was left standing there, trying to persuade Eleanor.

"We didn't just come to find family. We also hoped you could say goodbye to Aunt Wendy one last time."

So that was why they sought her out?

Was it that simple?

Eleanor, suspicious of their motives, sized Elbert and Robin up.

Elbert's gaze was clear and bright, even a bit sincere. He didn't seem to be lying. But Robin, with his cold demeanor and inscrutable eyes, didn't look like a good guy.
