A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 576

"Watch out, Ethan!"

Eleanor screamed in terror at Ethan's actions!

Bernard, beside her, reacted even quicker.

He rushed over, snatching the gun out of Ethan's hand.

Once the gun landed in Bernard's hand, with a swift flip, the muzzle was pointed back at Ethan.

"Thinking you could just die and get away with it after messing with my woman? That's too easy!"

Bernard, radiating a chilling aura, coldly spoke, then lowered the gun toward Ethan's thigh.

"Paralysis or jail, pick one!"

Ethan, now disarmed, supported himself on the bar counter, giving Bernard a nonchalant glance.

"You don't want me to die?"

Knowing Bernard's decisive nature and that his woman was messing with him and hurting him, he must have wanted to finish him off right away.

Now, he chose to end his life graciously, but Bernard took his gun away, clearly not wanting him to die.

"Why?"

There was no hint of sympathy in Bernard's indifferent gaze.

"I wish you were suffering!"

Ethan stared at Bernard's arrogant and imperious eyes and let out a soft chuckle.

He picked up a bottle of liquor again, poured a glass, took a small sip, and slowly curled up the corners of his mouth.

"I've been wishing I was dead for years."

His voice was very soft as if he were speaking to Bernard or himself.

"Then continue to atone for your sins for the rest of your life."

Bernard aimed at his thigh, not even blinking, ready to pull the trigger.

At this point, Eleanor quickly came over, picked up Nina, who was being aimed at, and after moving her to the side, she squatted down and touched Nina's face: "Nina, you and Uncle George go out first. I'll talk to Ethan, and then he'll come find you, okay?"

When Nina saw that the person holding her was Eleanor, she immediately reached out, hooked Eleanor's neck, and buried her head in her shoulder, acting like a spoiled child. "Eleanor, I missed you so much."

Eleanor felt warmed by the child's voice and raised her hand to gently pat her back, saying, "I missed you too."

Nina, as if knowing that the adults had things to do, quickly stopped being spoiled and let go of Eleanor, looking at Ethan and saying, "Uncle Ethan, you promised to pick me up after meeting Eleanor and take me back to G country. Keep your word!"

Seeing the little face that looked so much like Emilia, revealing a bright smile, Ethan's eyes reddened: "You go back to G country with George by yourself, find your father, and stop following me."

Hearing Ethan try to send her away, Nina pouted and started to cry: "you didn't keep your promise; you're a bad uncle."

"I'm the one who killed your mom. You better stay away from me, or next time, you'll be the one I kill!"

Nina was frightened by his harsh words, and she shrank back into Eleanor's arms.

But she stubbornly kept her tear-filled eyes on Ethan, who had suddenly turned fierce.

Seeing that he had scared Nina, Ethan felt a bit suffocated but forced himself to look away and said to Eleanor, "Take her away."
