A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 674

Evelyn Ziegler maintaining her high-society demeanor, and politely explained to Eleanor:

"Ms. Shultz, Emilia fell in love with Ethan many years ago. I told her that our family would never accept her, but she didn't care as long as she could be with Ethan. You know our kind of family cannot accept a daughter-in-law of unequal status."

Eleanor gazed at Evelyn and noticed that she avoided direct eye contact, which seemed strange. "Evelyn, do you know me?" she asked.

Evelyn tightly held her husband's hand, trembling slightly, but tried to remain composed and smiled. "I have always lived in the G country. How could I possibly know you?"

Eleanor was about to ask why she couldn't look her in the eye, but Evelyn stood up and looked at her firmly. "Ms. Shultz, I have made myself very clear. It was your sister's choice to be with Ethan, regardless of whether she had the title of Mrs. Ziegler. She didn't care about it during her lifetime, and I don't think she would mind after her death."

Eleanor knew that Ethan's mother had previously told her sister that she would not let her join this family.

"Evelyn, my sister loved your son, but their feelings were mutual. Ethan deeply loved my sister, to the extent that he would even die for her. Don't fabricate facts after my sister's death just because of your prejudice."

Facing Eleanor's questioning, Evelyn's expression changed, and the courage in her eyes diminished in an instant.

Mr. Ziegler, seeing his wife in this state, thought she was being bullied and immediately confronted Eleanor in anger. "Ms. Shultz, what exactly do you want?"

Eleanor sighed again. "Mr. Ziegler, I don't want anything. I just want to fight for a title for my sister, as recognition for her lifelong devotion."

George, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, "Emilia has always wanted to marry Ethan, and Ethan wanted to marry her too. It was Evelyn who opposed and hindered them from being together. They couldn't be together in life, so at least let them reunite in death."

George bluntly pointed out Evelyn's obstruction of their relationship, which displeased her.

After silently cursing George in her mind, Evelyn still held her ground and shook her head. "She didn't leave behind any children for Ethan. It's really inappropriate to bury her in the Ziegler family cemetery."

George sneered, "Emilia gave birth to Ethan's daughter. She's already six years old. How can it be inappropriate?"

Before George said those words, Eleanor winked at him, but he didn't notice, and the words slipped out.
