A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 634

In the end, Eleanor had her bodyguards step aside and invited Casey into the living room. She even had Marina serve him a cup of coffee.

The man sitting on the sofa moved and acted very much like Ethan; the only difference lay in their eyes. Ethan's eyes held a sense of melancholy and sharpness, while Casey's showed an air of calm and indifference, as if nothing really bothered him. They both carried the same casual, laid-back vibe, but their manner of speaking differed. Casey seemed more of a gentleman than Ethan.

After sizing up Casey, Eleanor took a seat and asked what brought him here: "Mr. Casey, what can I help you with?"

Casey didn't rush to answer. Instead, he raised his eyes to look at the dozens of female bodyguards standing behind her, and the weird guy sitting by the dining table, munching on an apple while staring at him. After taking a quick look around, he turned his attention back to Eleanor, his refined face breaking into a relaxed smile when he noticed her slight tension.

"Ms. Shultz, take it easy. I'm just here to ask you, where is my daughter, Nina?"

His daughter... Was Nina really his daughter?

Suppressing her doubts, Eleanor answered truthfully: "Nina's with Ethan."

Did he not know that Ethan had taken Nina from him? Why would he come asking her?

Casey gave Eleanor an elegant once-over, adjusted his silver-rimmed glasses, and started speaking: "Before Ethan took my daughter away, he promised that he would return her to me in eight months. The deadline has now passed, but I can't find him. Do you know where he is?"

Eleanor was taken aback. She thought Ethan had snatched Nina from Casey. Why did they have an agreement? Was Casey not worried that Ethan might harm Nina, or was he confident that Ethan wouldn't, hence set the deadline?

Filled with doubt, Eleanor couldn't fully trust this sophisticated yet slightly cold man before her. "Why are you asking me about Ethan's whereabouts?"

Her tone was wary, which made Casey smile slightly.

"Ms. Shultz, I came to you because I heard that Ethan took you away eight months ago. My daughter was also taken by him around the same time, so I figured you might have seen her. If you have, you should know where she is, right?"

Casey's words hit the nail on the head, leaving Eleanor unable to refute. But she had another question.

"You said Nina was taken by Ethan. Then why did you make an agreement with Ethan?"
