A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1034

Chapter 1034

Out in front of the bilingual International primary school, Evelyn squatted down to Nina’s level, trying to convince her.

“Nina, I’m your dad’s mom. You should come with me.”

Chubby little Nina, munching on a lollipop, cocked her head and looked at her

“Are you Casey’s mom?‘

Evelyn’s smile froze in an instant. She was certainly not that deadbeat’s mom!

“No.”

“So if you’re not Casey’s mom but you say you’re my granny, are you a fraud?”

With that Nina tugged on her teacher’s trouser leg

*Is she a baddie who kidnaps kids? You should call the police and have her arrested!”

Evelyn was taken aback. Once she regained her composure, she quickly waved her hands.

“Hey, I’m not a bad person, I’m really your granny. We even met at your father’s funeral.”

“Really?”

Nina raised her eyebrows

“I don’t seem to recall.”

“How can your memory be so bad?”

“Kids have bad memories.”

With a shrug, chubby Nina spread her palms, as if surrendering to the situation, “That’s my bad.”

Seeing this cheeky kid, Evelyn was starting to get irritated, “You…”

Nina playfully put a finger to her lips and stuck out her tongue at Evelyn, giggling mischievously, “Hee hee hee…”

Already annoyed, Evelyn’s frustration only grew as she saw Nina’s antics, “Is this the kind of behavior Eleanor taught you?” She couldn’t believe what she was witnessing and scrutinized Nina from head to toe. “She’s turned you into this?!”

Finishing her evaluation, Evelyn then grabbed Nina, “Come on, go home with me. I will hire the best tutor for you, even if I have to ask the royal family for help I will ensure you receive a proper education”

Although Nina was a little plump and young. Evelyn’s strong pull nearly sent her tumbling forward. But, just as she was about to fall, a hand reached out and caught her, effortlessly lifting her up.

As the world spun around her, all Nina could see was a chillingly cold yet remarkably handsome face.

“Bernard!”

Seeing Bernard, Nina was thrilled. She spread her arms and hugged him around the neck.

Today’s Bernard was just as cool as when he had stormed into the dark room and rescued her from the cage.

As Nina hugged Bernard, her lollipop smeared onto his clothes….

Bernard put up with it for two seconds, then couldn’t take it anymore. He held her by the collar and put her down.

Nina’s eyes dropped, it was the same aloof Bernard after all.

Bernard’s icy gaze turned to Evelyn. “What, think you can’t win the lawsuit so you’re resorting to kidnapping?”

Evelyn snorted. “Hmph, Nina is my own granddaughter, why would I need to snatch her?”

Nina pointed at Evelyn and complained to Bernard “This nasty woman said, when it’s time for the court, I should choose her.”

The man had guessed Evelyn’s intention. He lowered his head and looked at Nina “So, did you agree?”

Nina said angrily, “I didn’t agree, so she was trying to drag me away Luckily my teacher stopped her.”

The teacher standing at the school gate swallowed hard when he saw Bernard’s icy look.

He was glad he reacted fast and didn’t let Evelyn take the child away, otherwise this man would definitely give him hell!

He didn’t dare to ask himself why he felt this way, but that look was really scary, like he could erupt at any moment….

Bernard just casually glanced over, unaware of how terrifying he looked. He even thought his look at the teacher was quite friendly.

After taking back his friendly gaze, without sparing Evelyn another glance, he said to Nina: “Let’s go home.”

After Nina responded, she reached out her small hand to hold Bernard’s, but retracted it quickly under his intimidating gaze. Alright, she forgot, only one person could touch Bernard, and that was Eleanor. No other woman could touch him, herself included.

As Nina hopped away with Bernard, Evelyn clenched her fists in fury!

She thought to herself, “Fine, let them have her for a few more days. Let’s see what they can do when the court makes its decision!”
