Chapter 360 Echoes of Old Shadows

Robert had just stepped through the doorway, arriving precisely on time. He hadn’t witnessed what had just transpired. Glancing around, he noted Patrick’s absence and assumed their conversation was over.

“Is it done?” he asked, squinting slightly.

Eleanor lowered her gaze and nodded. She didn’t want him to see the faint redness on her face, a remnant of her recent encounter.

“What happened?” Noticing her discomfort, Robert’s brows furrowed with concern as he leaned in closer, his voice softened.

“Nothing,” Eleanor replied, shaking her head dismissively. “In a few days, I may need to go back home for a bit. It’s my sister’s birthday soon.” She paused, watching Robert’s reaction carefully.
