Chapter 44 âYour neck...â
Eleanor hadnât realized her neck was covered in hickeys. Seeing Haileyâs shocked expression, she finally noticed.
She quickly covered her neck with her hand and lowered her head in embarrassment.
âDid Mr. Caporal force himself on you?â
Hailey looked at Eleanor as if she was prey.
Yesterday, Hailey wanted to warn Eleanor but was too busy with the wedding and taking care of Austinâs relatives, so she didnât get a chance to talk to her.
Now, seeing Eleanor return looking like that, Hailey was even more suspicious that she had been forced by Mr. Caporal.
âTell me the truth. If he really forced himself on you, Iâll go find revenge right now!â
Hailey was furious at the thought of Eleanor being taken advantage of by a bastard, ready to roll up her sleeves and charge into the kitchen for a kitchen knife.
Eleanor quickly stopped her. âIt wasnât Mr. Caporal.â
Hailey hesitated, âThen who was it?â
Eleanor didnât know how to explain.
Seeing Eleanor hesitate, Hailey suddenly realized.
âDid you and Bernard make up?â
Previously, Eleanor came back from Bernard with bruises on her skin.
Hailey assumed it was Bernard who had done it, after all, that man had always been so cruel to Eleanor.
âIt wasnât him.â
Eleanor didnât want to deceive Hailey anymore and told her the truth âI... I was with another man last night.â
Hailey was a bit shocked. Eleanor was with someone other than Bernard?
She couldnât believe it, but seeing Eleanorâs embarrassed expression, she had to accept it.
She grabbed Eleanorâs hand and anxiously asked, âWho is he? Can We trust him?â
Eleanor saw the worried look on her face and gritted her teeth, âI guess... he might be trustworthy...â
Hailey frowned, âAre you hiding something from me?â
She felt that Eleanor had been acting strangely lately, which made her uneasy.
Eleanor then playfully shook Haileyâs arm, âOh, my dear, donât worry. When weâre ready to marry, Iâll bring him to meet you, okay?â
Hearing her say they were planning to marry, Haileyâs serious expression softened a bit.
âYou just broke up with Bernard, how come you found someone youâre ready to marry so quickly?â
And she slept with him so quickly, unlike Eleanorâs personality.
âHeâs a business partner, and you know I canât avoid working with people like this. When I was with Bernard, I couldnât date. Now that weâve broken up, thereâs a suitable person I have been seeing, Donât you want me to get married sooner, too?â
âI do want you to get married sooner...â
âThen what are you worried about?â
Eleanor cut her off with a smile.
âIâm worried that youâll meet someone unreliable.â
Fearing sheâll nag Eleanor too much and make Eleanor annoyed, Hailey closed her mouth.
âAnyway, we agreed that Iâll help you carefully assess your marriage partner, and we canât be too careless!â
A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
ï¤Chapter 43 âFine, if you donât agree, Iâll never marry in my whole life!â
âHow could you not marry? Do you want to be alone forever?â
Hailey stared at her wideâeyed.
âIâm just kidding.â Eleanor pretended to be nonchalant and smiled sweetly.
Seeing Eleanorâs smile return to her face, the everâworried Hailey wasnât so worried anymore.
Eleanorâs been sensible since she was a child, wouldnât do anything excessive, and there was nothing to worry about.
Hailey and Eleanor chatted for a while before Austin came to pick her up.
The couple were going to go on a honeymoon.
Austin changed the flight to the evening, so Eleanor had the time to take them to the airport.
After reminding Hailey and Austin to be safe, Eleanor waved goodbye to them.
Upon returning home, Eleanor went straight to the bathroom and took a shower.
What was strange was that if Josef so much as touched her, she felt disgusted.
But Mr. Law, who had mercilessly forced her, didnât evoke disgust in her.
Even... even during that time, her mind was filled with thoughts of Bernard.
Was it because she missed Bernard so much that she mistook the rapist for Bernard?
Eleanor felt humiliated, knowing her body had been claimed by a stranger, she no longer had any right to think of Bernard.
She didnât know if she could ever come into contact with him again Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END)
