Ethan got back home in the dead of night. Eleanor was fighting off sleep, holding Nina while waiting for him.
Ethan had barely seen Eleanor in the past three months. Even when they did cross paths, he just pretended like she wasn't there and walked off.
This time, as he pushed open the villa door and saw Eleanor and Nina waiting for him in the living room, he chose to ignore them like he usually did.
Just as he was about to leave, Eleanor stopped him. "I'm pretty much recovered now and planning to leave tomorrow. I'm taking Nina with me."
She had no patience to argue with Ethan anymore and made her demand straightforwardly.
Ethan paused, turned back to look at her. "Why would you take her? She's not your kid."
Eleanor responded calmly, "Nina is my sister's child. I am her aunt, and have guardianship rights. Of course I can take Nina."
Ethan scoffed, "So you're saying I'm not fit to raise her?"
Eleanor coldly replied, "Whether you're fit or not, you know very well."
Upon seeing her back to her old self, Ethan knew that she had seen the news about Bernard attending the press conference.
He gave Eleanor a once over, before warning her, "You're so eager to see him, doesn't mean he wants to see you. Don't come crying back to me when that happens."
Eleanor didn't understand what he was implying and continued, "Nina is of school age now. Either let me take her back to A City , or send her back to her father. It's not good for her to be wandering around with you all the time."
Ethan frowned, walked over to Eleanor, bent over and looked at her, his hands resting on the arms of the chair.
