A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 788

Chapter 788 

Elbert lowered his voice and whispered. “My dad’s generation, there were actually four kids, one was a love child” 

What a hot mess the Pine family is. 

Eleanor was a bit annoyed inside, but still feigned shock, ‘So your grandpa was quite the clever one, only had four kids 

It sounded like she was throwing shade at his grandpa, but Elbert didn’t quite catch on, and continued whispering 

“That love child did something to hurt the Pine family, so my grandpa kicked her out. She was originally the second daughter of the Pine family” 

Eleanor wasn’t too familiar with the family rankings, so she asked out of curiosity. “So who’s the second now?” 

Elbert provided the family hierarchy, stating “Wendy Pine is the eldest, Tammie Pine is the second, Vanya Pine is the third, and my father, Sheldon Pine, is the youngest With Tammie’s departure, Vanya now assumes the position of the second daughter.” 

Realizing that Emilia’s mother’s name was Vanya, Eleanor wondered if Emilia’s company, named after Vanya, served as a tribute to her 

Curiosity piqued, Eleanor leaned in closer to Elbert, urging him to share the additional information he had mentioned 

With a hint of mystery. Elbert revealed, “When I was a child, I overheard something while eavesdropping on my grandparents. Among my dad’s three sisters, one of them isn’t actually a Pine 

One of them isn’t a Pine? Could it be that Vanya wasn’t a Pine, and that’s why Elbert’s grandparents didn’t like her? 

Eleanor wanted to ask for clarification, but was afraid of arousing Elbert’s suspicion. He already thought she looked like Vanya, better not give too much away, lest he finds out that she’s the baby Emilia lost when she was a kid. Let them stay in the dark. 

“Well, now I’ve told you all my family secrets, is it my turn to take a picture?” 

Elbert slammed the table, jolting Eleanor out of her thoughts 

She composed herself, gave Elbert a sidelong glance 

“No way!” With that, she got up and left. 

“Hey, wait!” 

Elbert chased after her and stopped Eleanor 

“I’ve told you such important secrets of my family, at least let me take a picture.” 

“After I send it to my dad and get a confirmation, I’ll leave you alone, okay?” 

Eleanor looked up at this man who was significantly taller than her, and shook her head firmly 

“No way, my face is too precious for you to photograph.” 

Elbert clenched his teeth in frustration but held back his anger 

“Name your price for a picture, I’ll pay” 

Seeing his persistence, Eleanor raised an eyebrow slightly. 

“To tell you the truth, I’ve had plastic surgery, I didn’t always look like this.” 

“Hmm?” 

Elbert looked as if he’d been struck by lightning and reached out to touch Eleanor’s face to confirm if she’d really had plastic surgery. 

But Eleanor slapped his hand away. Tve told you my face is valuable, don’t touch it randomly, what if my nose collapses?” 

Elbert was speechless. 

So his persistent suspicion that she was Vanya’s dead child was just him being overly idle? 

Eleanor took out her phone, found an extremely unattractive picture, and showed it to Elbert. 

“See, this was me before!” 

Looking at the pockmarked, mole covered face on the phone screen, Elbert nearly vomited. 

*That’s disgusting, put it away, put it away.” 

Eleanor finally put away her phone, raised her hand, and patted Elbert’s shoulder seriously. 

“So, there’s no way I could look like your aunt. I just admired Emilia and had my surgery to look like her. Maybe after the surgery. I looked more like Emilia, that’s why you find me familial ”
