Chapter 579
Ethan pulled his gaze back from the distance, lowering his head to look at the little girl hugging his leg Nina had a long trail of snot dangling from her nose, getting longer and thicker with each sniffle
Ethan frowned, about to wipe her nose with a tissue when he saw her using his pants instead
Irritated, Ethan tried to shake her off
But she just plopped down on top of his shoe, clinging tightly to his leg and refusing to let go.
“Uncle Ethan, swing!” She demanded
Rolling his eyes, Ethan looked towards George, who was grinning indulgently “Get her away from mel”
George shrugged “I need to get someone to clean up your house, so I’m leaving Nina with you”
With those words, George casually left the villa. Spotting Eleanor about to get in a car, he quickly called out to her.
“Ms. Shultz
Eleanor figured George must need something from her, so she asked Bernard to wart a bit longer.
Mr. Law, for the first time, was taking his time, but he didn’t seem to mind. He nodded and went to fetch an umbrella from the trunk.
The large black umbrella shielded her from the wind and snow, warming Eleanor’s heart and putting a smile on her face.
Bernard, dressed in a thin suit, looked like a statue carved by God himself. Despite the cold that seeped through his clothes, he was willing to hold the umbrella for her
George, noticing this, had a pleased smile on his lips as he politely congratulated Eleanor.
“Ms. Shultz, I’m glad to see you and Mr. Laurence back together. Wishing you a happy future.”
“Thank you, Dr George Is there something you need from me?”
George glanced back at the villa, sighed heavily, and said, “Ms Shultz, I was the one who conducted the paternity test for Nina and Mr. Ziegler. They’re not related by blood. If you asked Mr. Ziegler to do another test, it would be like rubbing salt in his wounds. I’m afraid it might push him over the edge”
Eleanor was surprised to hear that George had conducted the test himself, but she was also confused. If they’re not related, why does the child look so much like him?”
George hesitated before saying. “Emilia’s ex-husband is Mr. Ziegler’s brother, an illegitimate child who was adopted by the royal family of G country. The Ziegler family’s situation is quite complicated. All you need to know is that Nina looks like both Mr. Ziegler and his brother”
Eleanor was stunned “So, Nina looks like Ethan because of Ethan’s relationship with his brother?”
George nodded. This was also why he felt sorry for Ethan.
The illegitimate child was the man Ethan hated the most, yet Emilia had married him and had a child with him.
How could Ethan not feel hatred and pain?

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...
