A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 544

The morning in N Country was a sight for sore eyes, the sunshine filtering through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the villa into the red brick house.

Basking in the sunlight, a slender figure with thick curly hair resembling a high-texture oil painting from afar.

Eleanor was cradling Nina, fumbling with a piece of bread on her plate. She slowly tore it apart with her gloved hands and reached it towards the little girl’s mouth.

Nina opened her mouth, stretched her neck to reach the toast Eleanor was handing her. After biting into the soft toast, she looked up at the person across her.

Ethan was leisurely cutting his steak with a fork and knife. He sliced it into strips and handed a portion to Eleanor.

"Emilia, open up."Ethan said, addressing Eleanor by her false name.

Nina, confused, because she had been told by Uncle George that her mom was Emilia and her aunt was Eleanor.

But recently, this weird uncle kept calling her aunt Emilia, making it hard for her to tell her aunt and mom apart.

Nina was at a loss and didn’t dare ask. She was afraid this weird uncle might scold her, so she kept her head down and quietly ate her breakfast.

Eleanor turned her head slightly at the steak close to her mouth, "Too greasy, I can't eat it."

Ethan didn't force her. He put down the steak, picked up a golden spoon, scooped a spoonful of cereal porridge, and again brought it to her lips, "You can have this instead."

This time, Eleanor didn't resist. She opened her mouth and accepted the spoonful of porridge.

Seeing her eat, Ethan began to smile, his warmth matching the sunshine outside.

A man feeding a woman breakfast, a woman feeding a child breakfast, it was a picture-perfect family of three.

Only the woman herself knew that she was trapped in a cage built by the man, with no escape in sight.

She reluctantly agreed to play Emilia, but to prevent her from running away, Ethan stopped the medication for her eyes.

At first, Eleanor resisted Ethan, but her feeble efforts were no match for a madman.

Like half a month ago, she stumbled around in the dark trying to escape, only to end up lost in the forest because she couldn't see.

After Ethan found her, he said she had been naughty and needed to be punished, which meant harming Nina.

Upon hearing Nina's cries, Eleanor was forced to smarten up. She didn't dare to run away anymore and realized that being blind made escape impossible.

She had never wanted to regain her sight as much as she did now. Only then could she think of a way to escape with Nina.

For this glimmer of hope, Eleanor played the part of Emilia while coaxing Ethan into giving her the eye medication.
