A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 537

After Ethan made up his mind, he set up a private jet right away and snuck out of G country. By the time their group arrived in N country, it was in the middle of the night.

A servant carried Eleanor off the plane, looking quite fragile against the biting cold wind. Ethan, trailed behind them, spreading the coat he had slung over his arm onto Eleanor. George caught sight of this subtle gesture and his expression shifted slightly but he didn’t say anything. He just followed behind with Nina in his arms.

The weather in N country was freezing, below zero degrees. Eleanor was shivering from the cold a few minutes after getting off the plane and when they left the airport. The villa’s chauffeur turned up the heating on full blast once he picked them up. It did nothing to alleviate Eleanor’s chills.

Ethan saw her in the backseat, curled up, arms wrapped around herself, refusing to use the coat he gave her. His eyes turned cold. He forcibly wrapped the coat around her. Eleanor didn’t resist, but as soon as he went back to his seat, she pushed the coat away again.

His eyes perceived this silent action as a provocation, and he couldn't be bothered to deal with her anymore.

The kid snuggled up in George’s arms was constantly staring at Eleanor huddled in the back. Eleanor reminded her of being locked up in her room. She stretched out her little hand to touch Eleanor’s hair, but her arms were too short. So she wriggled out of George’s arms, slid down and walked over to Eleanor, gently touching her face and said, “Don’t be scared.”

The soft touch of her hand against her face made Eleanor’s heart palpitate. She couldn’t see clearly and could only guess from the childish voice that it was a kid.

She touched Eleanor’s face and suddenly burst into tears, “Mommy, you’re Nina’s mommy.”

Nina hugged Eleanor and buried her face in her chest, “Mommy, why didn’t you come back to see Nina? Don’t you want Nina anymore?”

Hearing the name “Nina,” made Eleanor realize that this was her sister Emilia’s daughter. The one she had with her ex-husband. She’s a girl, but why was she here?

Eleanor gently stroked the young girl’s hair and softly said, “Nina, I’m not your mommy, I’m your aunt.”

Nina didn’t believe her. She cried out, “You’re lying! I look at your picture every day. You’re my mommy.”

Eleanor was trying to explain gently to Nina, but a cold voice sounded beside them, “She’s not your mom. Go back to your seat.”

Seeing Ethan’s icy gaze, Nina was so scared that she stopped crying and didn’t dare to speak. She let go of Eleanor and silently went back to George with her head hanging low.
