A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 

As soon as Eleanor stepped into the villa, she saw the living room in total chaos. 

The maids in the room were shivering and keeping quiet. 

And the culprit, he was sitting on the sofa, playing with a fruit knife. 

Upon catching sight of the blade in his hand, a flicker of fear stirred within Eleanor. Yet, she summoned the bravery to move towards him. 

1…I’m back‘ 

Ethan slowly booked up, his deep eyes fixed on her. 

He didn’t say a word, just stared at her like some prey about to die. 

Eleanor felt uneasy under his gaze, her clenched fists sweating. 

Forcing herself to calm down, she looked up at Ethan…. 

‘Mr. Ziegler, can we talk?” 

“Sure.” 

Ethan patted the sofa next to him and gave her a faint smile. 

That smile and his previous stare made Eleanor nervous. 

Instead of sitting next to him, she sat down on a single sofa opposite him. 

“Mr. Ziegler, I can’t go back to G Country with you.” 

“Fine.” 

Ethan nodded as if he had already expected her decision and didn’t care. 

Eleanor was well aware that his terse “Fine” would undoubtedly be followed by stipulations, just as it had been previously. Consequently, she held back from offering an immediate response. 

After a while, Ethan finally spoke: “As we agreed before, if you go to G Country, you won’t have to be Emilia’s double; if you stay, you have to be her double. Have you thought it through?” 

After a few seconds of silence, Eleanor bravely asked, “What if I don’t agree?” 

In fact, she knew very well that being a double for Ethan was not important. 

In his eyes, she was Emilia, and how he controlled her was entirely up to him. 

He only proposed the condition of staying or leaving to force her to return to G Country with him. 

But now that she had decided to stay with Garrett, it was impossible for her to go back to G Country with him. 

Besides, she couldn’t just go back to G Country with him, she had to divorce him too. But what bargaining chip could she use to negotiate with Ethan? Eleanor thought about it and decided to throw the question back at Ethan to see what he wanted. 

Ethan propped his chin with one hand, looking at her with a tilted head: “It’s okay if you don’t agree, but you have to tell me how Bernard managed to keep you here.” 

She was taken away by Bernard from the airport and refused to go back with him to G Country. It must be something Bernard did that touched her. Eleanor looked at him calmly, “What could keep me here must be very important to me.” 

She concealed from Ethan the fact that Garrett was still alive, apprehensive that revealing his existence could plunge him into peril.
