Chapter 109
Eleanor thought about it and replied, “Many times.”
She felt that Mr. Law must be somewhat bothered by this, otherwise, he wouldn’t have called her so many times. By replying this way. Mr. Law would think that she and Jason had been slept many times before, and he probably wouldn’t want to touch her again.
After she sent the message, Mr. Law didn’t reply anymore.
It seemed that her guess was correct – Mr. Law did care.
Eleanor couldn’t help but smile, put away her phone, and hurried downstairs.
Hailey had parked the car downstairs and was taking things out of the trunk.
“Hailey!”
Eleanor quickly walked over and gave her a hug from behind
Hailey turned her head and smiled at Eleanor.
“Did you miss me?”
“Of course!”
Eleanor hugged her, “I missed you so much!”
Hailey laughed and patted the hand wrapped around her waist, “Come on, we’ve only been apart for a few days, it’s not that bad”
Eleanor smiled and let go of Hailey, asking, “Where are the specialty items you brought me?”
Hailey turned around, stretched out her delicate fingers, and pointed to the ground, “Here”
Eleanor was amazed at the amount of stuff and looked at Hailey.
“How could you buy so much?”
“It’s not easy to travel abroad, so of course, I had to spend a bit more.”
“How many night shifts do you have to work to make up for all of this…
Eleanor felt a bit sorry for her.
Hailey waved her hand and said boldly, “It’s just some skincare products and supplyments- it didn’t cost that much!”
She casually picked up a box and headed towards the elevator.
As she walked, she called back to Eleanor, “Stop daydreaming, hurry up and help me carry this upstairs.”
Eleanor had no choice but to gather her thoughts, pick up the things on the ground, and follow her steps.
Hailey’s purchases filled the dining table. It seemed like she was worried that Eleanor wouldn’t have enough to use.
Eleanor shook her head and sighed, while Hailey checked if she had eaten well by opening the fridge.
Hailey only stopped nagging Eleanor when she saw that all the food in the fridge was gone.
In fact, Eleanor had already thrown away all the spoiled food in the fridge when she received Hailey’s text message that she was coming back. In her current situation, she really couldn’t eat anything, otherwise, she wouldn’t have lost weight so quickly. Fortunately, she changed into loose clothes, so Hailey didn’t notice anything unusual.
But hiding the truth from Hailey wasn’t a solution either. Eleanor thought about being honest with Hailey when the time was right.
After Hailey sorted the things on the dining table, she took out her phone and called Austin, asking when he would be back in the city.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
