Chapter 255
She didn’t take that weirdo seriously. After deleting the messages, she took her phone and went back to the villa
Ethan was already gone from the dining room. After Eleanor put the car key back in its place, she went back to her own bedroom.
As she went upstairs, she saw Ethan coming out of her room, holding a bunch of documents he’d given her earlier.
Pack up, we’re going back home,” he said, walking past her.
Eleanor was stunned and quickly caught up with him. “I just got back, and now we’re leaving already? That’s too fast, isn’t it?”
She had agreed to marry him on the condition that they return to their home country, so going back to another country so quickly wouldn’t make much
sense.
Ethan stopped, coldly saying, “Didn’t you come back just to figure out if that guy named Garett is really dead? Since you’ve confirmed his death, there’s no need to stay anymore.”
The mention of Garett brought back the guilt she had buried deep in her heart, turning her face pale.
She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the suffocating guilt, and looked at Ethan. “I have another family member. I want to be with her.”

She had promised that she would spend time with Hailey after everything. How could she leave so soon?
“The nightclub owner, Hailey Vulpe?”
Eleanor nodded. Hailey was her only family now, and she really didn’t want to be separated with her again.
“Take her with you.”
With an emotionless face, Ethan said this and went back to the master bedroom. The door slammed shut, leaving Eleanor outside.
“Ethan.”
Eleanor walked over and knocked on his door. “Let’s talk”
Hailey had her own home and business here. How could she ask her to go to another country with her?
The man inside the room was packing, ignoring her knocking.
After knocking several times and seeing him unwilling to open the door, she just pushed it open.
Ethan turned around, giving her a cold glance. “Where are your manners?”.
Ignoring what he said, Eleanor quickly walked up to him and asked, “Why the sudden decision to go back?”
He had bought a property here in advance to accompany her back to their home country, which meant he had planned to stay here for a while. But now he suddenly wanted leave, which was strange.
Ethan didn’t answer, he continued packing his things, his face calm and emotionless.
Eleanor stopped him from opening the wardrobe, looked up at him, and asked, ‘Can we not go back?”
He glanced at her sideways. “We can
Eleanor had prepared a long speech to persuade him but didn’t expect him to agree so readily. It was surprising.
She hesitated for a few seconds before smiling and reaching out her hand. “In that case, give me back my documents.”
Ethan slapped her hand away. There’s one condition.”
Eleanor’s face turned cold instantly. “What condition?”
He didn’t answer, but his deep black eyes quietly looked at her for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his hand and touched her face.
With his cold fingers caressing her face, her expression was somewhat stiff. You want me to be a substitute for my sister, do you?”
Seeing that she had guessed his purpose, Ethan couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. “You’re really smart.”
He withdrew his hand, casually looking at her. “Just be my Emilia obediently, and I’ll let you stay”
Eleanor calmly looked at him. “I’d rather go back.”
Ethan was stunned, apparently not expecting that response.
As he was lost in thought, she picked up her phone, opened the app to book plane tickets, and asked Ethan while choosing one, “Which airline should I
book?”
Ethan was speechless.
He sn*hed her phone and told her, “We have a private jet.”
Eleanor responded coldly, “Oh,” then turned around. “I’ll go pack.”
Watching her leave, Ethan stared at her back for a long time, finally realizing she was playing mind games with him.
He scoffed, “Childish.”

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
