Chapter 548
Ethan’s chopper landed behind a mountaintop and they immediately hopped onto another one. After a
few rounds of this, they finally arrived at Eldridia.
After being forcibly taken into the villa, Eleanor handed Nina over to George “Look after her for a bit,
will ya? I gotta have a word with him”
George knew Eleanor had been deceived all the way here, and now she was going to confront Ethan.
He took Nina and gave them space
After George left with the child, Eleanor fumbled her way onto the living room couch with the help of the
servants.
Once settled, she lifted her barely seeing eyes and tried to find Ethan.
Once she found him, she asked him coldly: “What’s your game, Ethan? You promised me that after a
month, you’d let me go home. Now you’ve tricked me into coming to Eldridia, what are you really up
to?”
Ethan, pulling out a cigarette from his pack, glanced at her: 1 told you from the get–go, I don’t do
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpromises.”
He it his cigarette, took a drag, and exhaled slowly.
Eleanor spat out, Ethan, my name is Eleanor, not Emilia. I have my own life, you just want to see my
sister, so you tied her sister to you. Is this your way of showing love to her, or just a way to ruin me?”
It had been a while since Ethan heard her speak so clearly and logically. Lately, she’d been playing the
part of Emilia, obediently doing his bidding, but she seemed more like a puppet, devoid of any thoughts
of her own. Now, seeing a spark of the old Eleanor, he couldn’t help but notice her personality.
Ethan stared at her and replied gravely. “You can take it as me taking revenge on her.”
Eleanor laughed coldly, “You’re not taking revenge on her, you’re taking revenge on me.”
Ethan said, “You can think what you want. To me, you’re her.”
Eleanor touched her own face, “Sometimes, I want to destroy this face, rip out this heart, but I still
haven’t seen him.”
Her tears began to fall, “Can’t you just let me go back and see him once, Ethan? Just once.”
Seeing her cry again for Bernard, Ethan said coldly, “Keep crying, and you’ll go completely blind.”
Eleanor held back her tears
She got up from the couch, and once again knelt humbly before Ethan, “Ethan, please, let me go.”
She was desperate. She couldn’t see, she couldn’t escape. She had agreed to pretend to be Emilia
hoping for a glimmer of hope, but he still wouldn’t let her go. All she wanted was to see him in his
grave, was that too much to ask?
Ethan looked at the woman kneeling on the ground, reminding him of how Emilia had once begged him
to let her go.
Was he really that terrifying? Why did everyone want to stay away from him? All he wanted was to
keep her, the one with Emilia’s heart. Was that too much?
He stared at the crying figure while holding his cigarette.
When the burning end of the cigarette touched his skin, he came back to himself. He averted his gaze
and said, “I can’t possibly let you go.”
He tossed the cigarette away, got up and left without a backward glance, as if he was afraid that seeing
her pathetic state would make him go soft.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHearing his footsteps fade away, Eleanor collapsed on the ground, cursing like a fishwife, Ethan, you
big fat liar! You promised me, you said you’d let me go home, why don’t you keep your word? Why did
you deceive me?!”
Her heart–wrenching cries, although blocked by the door, still reached George and Nina’s ears
Nina, who was playing with her Lego, put down her toys and wanted to go to her aunt, but was held
back by George.
George tried to comfort Nina, “Nina, darling, your aunt and your uncle had a little argument. Let them
sort it out, okay?”
Nina frowned, “But my aunt is crying Can’t I comfort her?”
George felt he wasn’t as mature as a child and let go of Nina, “Alright, go and keep your aunt company”
Nina ran to the door, stood on her tiptoes and turned the doorknob. She ran to Eleanor and touched her
tear–streaked face with her soft hand.
“Auntie, don’t cry, let Nina wipe your tears…”
Nina used her sleeve to wipe Eleanor’s cheeks.
