A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 646

Casey looked at Ethan, who was kneeling in front of a tombstone, his face full of regret. A slow smile crept onto Casey's face.

"Ethan, I told you before, all your failures in life are caused by yourself. You didn't believe me, do you now?"

If Ethan wasn't so damn cocky, would he have only just found out that Nina was his daughter?

Ethan had always carried himself with an air of superiority. He seemed to think the world was his oyster. Back then, Casey, locked in a small cage, always wondered why he, as the eldest son of the Ziegler family, was kept in the dark, while Ethan got to bask in the limelight. Was it just because his mother was a prostitute?

Casey didn't understand as a kid, and he still didn't understand now.

He blamed everything on Ethan, who took away everything that should have belonged to Casey. If it hadn't been for Ethan, would he have been kicked out of the Ziegler family and became a drifter?

He still remembered nearly getting beaten to death trying to steal food for Emilia. And Ethan? He just sat in his car and said "stop" like he was doing them a favor. From then on, Emilia only had eyes for Ethan.

Why?

Just because he couldn't afford to send Emilia to school? Just because he wasn't the snooty aristocrat sitting in the car?

But... He was the first to meet Emilia...

He was the one who spent countless terrifying nights with her. Why did Ethan have to steal his only light when he showed up?

Ethan had already taken his home, why did he have to steal his light too?

Casey, huddled beside a trash can, shivering in the rain, thought... One day, he would take back Emilia, his home, everything Ethan took from him!

Look, now was the time to take everything back.

Casey held a gun, squatting next to Ethan, his eyes deep.
