A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 285

Just as the knife was about to pierce her chest, a hand suddenly reached out and tightly grabbed her wrist...

The man took the fruit knife from her and smiled: "It’s a little knife, how could it possibly cut out your heart?"

Ethan turned around, went to the kitchen to get a cleaver, and threw it in front of her: "Use this."

This time Eleanor didn't listen to him. She looked at him with her clear and bright eyes.

"Actually, you wouldn't dare to take my sister's heart away."

He had said before that she now had Emilia's heart, and he wouldn't let her die.

All he's doing now is testing her...

As if she had guessed his thoughts, Ethan's face suddenly darkened: "You insist on getting a divorce?"

Eleanor offered a slight nod, acknowledging, "Mr. Ziegler, I understand my request may seem demanding, but our marriage is ill-suited. Your heart belongs to my sister, and yet you wed me. Regardless of the cause, the fact remains: I am not her."

Eleanor's words made Ethan's dark eyes regain a little clarity, but he still kept his thin lips shutting without speaking.

Eleanor lowered her head, thought for a few seconds, and then said, "Mr. Ziegler, please, let me go?"

Ethan frowned, and for a moment, Eleanor, sitting on the sofa, seemed to blur into Emilia's appearance.

"Ethan, please, let me go..."

When she knelt in front of him, pleading miserably, they said the same words.

What did he do back then? It seems he lifted his foot and kicked her hard...

His memory was a bit blurred, but he still remembered that kick which caused her to lose the baby who was not yet five months old.

Thinking of Emilia's heartbroken appearance, Ethan's heart ached to the point of suffocation.

For her, it was already extraordinary to achieve this result from Ethan, and Eleanor agreed without hesitation.

After they settled it, Ethan made a phone call in front of Eleanor and quickly completed the divorce procedures.

After hanging up the phone, Ethan looked at the relieved Eleanor: "Just like before, you must be home by 10pm."

Eleanor, who had just relaxed, became tense again upon hearing these words.

Just as she was about to say something, Ethan turned around and left.

Although she didn't say the words, watching his receding back somehow relieved the pressure in her heart.

At least now they're divorced, and she avoided being a substitute for her brother's ex-wife. They'll deal with the future gradually.

That evening, Eleanor gave vent to the long-suppressed emotions and fatigue. She sprawled across her bed, clutching her pillow, and for the first time in a long while, found herself engulfed in a remarkably serene slumber.
