Chapter 283 As soon as Eleanor stepped into the villa, she saw the living room in total chaos.
The maids in the room were shivering and keeping quiet.
And the culprit, he was sitting on the sofa, playing with a fruit knife.
Upon catching sight of the blade in his hand, a flicker of fear stirred within Eleanor. Yet, she summoned the bravery to move towards him.
1...Iâm backâ
Ethan slowly booked up, his deep eyes fixed on her.
He didnât say a word, just stared at her like some prey about to die.
Eleanor felt uneasy under his gaze, her clenched fists sweating.
Forcing herself to calm down, she looked up at Ethan....
âMr. Ziegler, can we talk?â
âSure.â
Ethan patted the sofa next to him and gave her a faint smile.
That smile and his previous stare made Eleanor nervous.
Instead of sitting next to him, she sat down on a single sofa opposite him.
âMr. Ziegler, I canât go back to G Country with you.â
âFine.â
Ethan nodded as if he had already expected her decision and didnât care.
Eleanor was well aware that his terse âFineâ would undoubtedly be followed by stipulations, just as it had been previously. Consequently, she held back from offering an immediate response.
After a while, Ethan finally spoke: âAs we agreed before, if you go to G Country, you wonât have to be Emiliaâs double; if you stay, you have to be her double. Have you thought it through?â
After a few seconds of silence, Eleanor bravely asked, âWhat if I donât agree?â
In fact, she knew very well that being a double for Ethan was not important.
In his eyes, she was Emilia, and how he controlled her was entirely up to him.
He only proposed the condition of staying or leaving to force her to return to G Country with him.
But now that she had decided to stay with Garrett, it was impossible for her to go back to G Country with him.
Besides, she couldnât just go back to G Country with him, she had to divorce him too. But what bargaining chip could she use to negotiate with Ethan? Eleanor thought about it and decided to throw the question back at Ethan to see what he wanted.
Ethan propped his chin with one hand, looking at her with a tilted head: âItâs okay if you donât agree, but you have to tell me how Bernard managed to keep you here.â
She was taken away by Bernard from the airport and refused to go back with him to G Country. It must be something Bernard did that touched her.
Eleanor looked at him calmly, âWhat could keep me here must be very important to me.â
She concealed from Ethan the fact that Garrett was still alive, apprehensive that revealing his existence could plunge him into peril.
As she was unwilling to give a specific answer, Ethan felt there was no need to talk anymore.
He picked up the fruit knife and got up to leave, but Eleanor quickly called out, âWait a minute...â
Ethan stopped, turned his head, and gave her a faint look: âAre you ready to tell?â
Eleanor shook her head and said, âMr. Ziegler, I canât tell you about this matter, but could we make another deal?â
After hearing that, Ethan raised an eyebrow: âBut Iâm only interested in this matter Eleanor took a deep breath and vaguely replied, âWhat do you think he couldâve done to keep me here?â
Seeing that she wouldnât tell him directly, Ethan became even more interested: âDo you like him?â
