A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254
What Bernard did to her was not a patch on what he did to her sister
So that’s why her sister was so desperate to end her life to avoid him?
What kind of person was Ethan, anyway?
As Eleanor watched his lonely figure disappear into the living room, she touched her heart.
Did her sister suffer more than her in this life?
With a deep sigh, Eleanor knew that there was no way to find answers now that Emilia was gone.
After sitting on the sofa for a while, she went to her bedroom, and when she opened the window, she saw that the Koenigsegg downstairs hadn’t left yet. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, she forgot her sadness, closed the window and the curtain, blocking the car from her sight.
Perhaps influenced by Bernard, Eleanor had nightmares all night.
Disappointment in him countless times, despair from falling on a nail, regret before death…
Everything entered her dreams, tormenting her for the whole night, and when she woke up in a daze, it was already daylight..
The first thing she did when getting up was to pull open the curtain, and her eyes caught that the car was gone.
With a sigh of relief, she went to the bathroom and after freshening up, went downstairs for breakfast.
The maid prepared breakfast, and Ethan was sitting at the table, slowly spreading cheese on his bread.
When she sat down, Ethan glanced at her casually: “That annoying guy last night seemed to have overdosed and fainted. An ambulance took him away at two or three in the morning…
Eleanor’s fingers paused while picking up a piece of bread, but her expression quickly returned to normal. She took a small bite of the bread and ignored Ethan’s words.
Ethan didn’t look at her again either. He finished spreading the cheese on the bread and hands it to Eleanor: “Your sister liked cheese.”
Eleanor looked at the cheese-covered bread, then at Ethan, and said quietly, I’m not her.”
Ethan curled his lips in a nonchalant smile: “In my eyes, you are.
He pointed to the cheese bread with his knife and fork, his expression dark: “Eat it.”
His eyes were cold and fierce, as if not eating it would cause him to stab her in the chest with his knife and fork.
Eleanor put down the bread in her hand, picked up the cheese bread, and took a bite.
Ethan then retracted his fierce gaze, resuming a gentle smile: “That’s a good girl.”
After taking a bite, Eleanor put down the bread, saying to him calmly: “It’s not good, I don’t like it
Ethan’s expression turned cold again: “What did you say?”
Eleanor sat up straight, lifted her chin, and spoke calmly: “Mr. Ziegler, I know it’s hard for you to accept the loss of my sister, but that doesn’t give you an excuse to make me her substitute. I’m grateful that she gave me her heart, and I’m grateful that you saved my life against her last wish. But since I’m alive now, please respect me.”
After saying this, she wiped her hands with a napkin and glanced at the car key on the dining table.
“I left my stuff in your car, I’ll go get it and give you the key back.”
Yesterday, she got the sealed bag from Hailey and brought it to Ethan’s car, but forgot to take it when she got out.
She said this, not watching Ethan’s reaction, and walked toward the car outside the villa.
She opened the car door and took out the sealed bag, accidentally pressing the unlock button on her old phone.
When the screen lit up, it showed a dozen unread messages sent last night.
Eleanor frowned, unlocked the phone, and checked the messages.
They were still from Mr. Law, still those words of caring for her and loving her.
After reading them, Eleanor thought for a moment, then added him to the blacklist and deleted all the thousands of unread messages.
