Chapter 1020 Eleanor felt somewhat surprised. Wasnât Robin supposed to have face recognition issues? How could he remember Giannaâs appearance after only meeting her once?
She was contemplating how to dispel Robinâs doubts when he suddenly took a step closer to her. His action made her feel a bit awkward, causing Eleanor to subconsciously take a step back. Unfortunately, her foot accidentally landed on a rock, causing her to lose balance and lean to the side.
Just as she was about to fall, a hand reached out and supported her waist, steadying her. With Robinâs help, Eleanor regained her balance and said, âThank you.â
However, Robin discreetly withdrew the hand that had touched her. Whether it was due to the scorching weather or extreme nervousness, he felt his palm slightly sweaty.
Eleanor gently explained, âThe person who came just now was indeed Sigrid. If you donât believe me, I can call her in front of you.â
Robinâs gaze remained fixed on her slender waist, and in his mind, the image of embracing her kept replaying. The touch of his fingers not only felt her soft waist but also her fragrant cascading hair. The sensation of those soft strands gliding through his fingertips was like playing the strings of his heart. Though it lasted only a few seconds, he was completely captivated, and even after she regained her balance, he was reluctant to let go of her hand.
He replayed these scenes in his mind so incessantly that he completely missed what Eleanor was saying. It was only when she raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes that he slowly snapped out of his trance and asked, âHuh? What did you say?â
Eleanor sighed helplessly, âYou didnât hear a word I said. I explained everything for nothing.â
Robin inquired, âWhat did you explain?â
Eleanor tilted her head looking at him, âMr. Spencer, are you looking for trouble?â
Only then Robin remembered his original mission was to investigate the Siren Organization. But Eleanorâs presence had him unnerved, his gaze at her turning a bit unfriendly, âStay away from me!â
Eleanor was taken aback, âYou were the one who came closer. I didnât mean to get near you, why should I back off, why donât you?â
Robin was at a loss for words at her counter question. Eleanor seized the chance to say, âYou always tell me to back off, should we communicate with a megaphone from a hundred meters apart?â
Robinâs face turned awkward as he spoke, âYou have a certain scent, and Iâm not used to it when youâre too close.â
âA scent?â Eleanor instinctively sniffed at her shoulder, puzzled. âHowâs that possible? I wash very thoroughly every day, and my clothes smell nice.â
1/2 12-18 Chapter 1020 Hearing her clean explanation, Robinâs mind conjured up another image, causing him to blush. âI gotta go.â
However, Eleanor quickly stepped forward to stop him. âTell me what smell it is so I can get rid of it...â
Robin was speechless.
He thought for a while and finally squeezed out a sentence, âPollen scent, Iâm allergic to it.â
Actually, it wasnât that. What really got to him was a captivating scent that drew him in. Each time he smelled it. He couldnât control himself and wanted to get closer to her.
But that was wrong. He could desire any woman, but definitely not Bernardâs woman. How awkward!
Eleanor, hearing it was the scent of pollen, finally felt relieved, âSince youâre allergic to pollen, we wonât meet again.â
Robin was taken aback, âThatâs not what I meant, I was trying to say, your scent...ah, never mind...if you donât want to see me, fine.â
His explanation was a mess, making himself angry instead.
After spitting out those words angrily, he went to open the car door.
He sat in the car, waiting for several seconds, but no one started the car. Then he realized he was in the passenger seat.
Feeling utterly embarrassed, he got out of the car in front of Eleanor, walked around the car and got into the driverâs seat.
After he drove away in a huff, Eleanor finally withdrew her gaze, mumbling under her breath, âHow weirdâ.
