A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 788

Elbert lowered his voice and whispered. “My dad’s generation, there were actually four kids, one was a love child”

What a hot mess the Pine family is.

Eleanor was a bit annoyed inside, but still feigned shock, ‘So your grandpa was quite the clever one, only had four kids

It sounded like she was throwing shade at his grandpa, but Elbert didn’t quite catch on, and continued whispering

“That love child did something to hurt the Pine family, so my grandpa kicked her out. She was originally the second daughter of the Pine family”

Eleanor wasn’t too familiar with the family rankings, so she asked out of curiosity. “So who’s the second now?”

Elbert provided the family hierarchy, stating “Wendy Pine is the eldest, Tammie Pine is the second, Vanya Pine is the third, and my father, Sheldon Pine, is the youngest With Tammie’s departure, Vanya now assumes the position of the second daughter.”

Realizing that Emilia’s mother’s name was Vanya, Eleanor wondered if Emilia’s company, named after Vanya, served as a tribute to her

Curiosity piqued, Eleanor leaned in closer to Elbert, urging him to share the additional information he had mentioned

With a hint of mystery. Elbert revealed, “When I was a child, I overheard something while eavesdropping on my grandparents. Among my dad’s three sisters, one of them isn’t actually a Pine

One of them isn’t a Pine? Could it be that Vanya wasn’t a Pine, and that’s why Elbert’s grandparents didn’t like her?

Eleanor wanted to ask for clarification, but was afraid of arousing Elbert’s suspicion. He already thought she looked like Vanya, better not give too much away, lest he finds out that she’s the baby Emilia lost when she was a kid. Let them stay in the dark.

“Well, now I’ve told you all my family secrets, is it my turn to take a picture?”
