A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel 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.

"I...I'm back."

Ethan slowly looked 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.
