Chapter 110
Before, Eleanor was a bit worried about Hailey. This was because when Austin found out that Hailey wanted to go back to his hometown with him, he tried his best to stop her. Even Austin’s parents were strongly against her going back. They all said that the environment in the suburbs was bad and they worried that Hailey wouldn’t be able to adapt.
Eleanor was somewhat concerned that the Zimmer family was hiding something. But Hailey thought that they cared about her and were worried that she wouldn’t be comfortable in the suburbs, which might affect her relationship with Austin. So Eleanor didn’t say much about it.
But now that they’re married, why won’t the Zimmer family let their new daughter–in–law go back?
Eleanor found it a bit strange. Hailey said, “It’s okay, I don’t want to go to the suburbs anyway. Austin and I will stay in A City, and his parents can stay in their hometown. We won’t have to live together, and there won’t be any conflicts with his mom. I’m happy”
Eleanor held back her words when she heard Hailey say that.
Maybe she really misunderstood. Austin’s parents were very enthusiastic about Hailey and treated her well. When they heard the two were getting married, they immediately took out the money they had been saving for years and helped them pay a small part of the down payment.
Although most of the money was Hailey’s, the Zimmer family at least showed sincerity.
Besides, Austin’s parents didn’t have a high income from farming in their hometown, so taking out a small amount of money and giving gifts was already
their best effort.
Maybe they really were afraid that Hailey would look down on the suburb environment.
Eleanor put her thoughts aside and happily went grocery shopping at the supermarket with Hailey.
As soon as they got into the car, Mr. Law sent her a few WhatsApp messages. Eleanor glanced at her phone.
[You’re such a slut. You sleep with me and then you sleep with other men. Are you really that desperate for men? You’re a cheap woman, I wish I could strangle you]
All were cursing her. Eleanor was trembling with anger when she saw it. Who did he think he was, how did a rapist have the right to send her this?
Furious, she picked up her phone and gritted her teeth to reply: [You must be insane, I have nothing to do with you. I can sleep with whoever I want to!] She sent it, then remembered he still had evidence against her. She wanted to recall the message, but it showed the other party was typing….
It meant he had already seen her message.
[I must be crazy, for I can’t forget you.]
In just a few seconds, he sent another message.
Eleanor was stunned when she saw it. Mr. Law couldn’t forget her?
As she was thinking about how to reply, he quickly sent another message.
[I’ve tried to forget you, but I miss you so much. Every day, every hour, every minute, I think about you. Please meet me at Midnight Bar, okay?]
The last words had a pleading tone..
Eleanor thought he must be really crazy, otherwise, he wouldn’t say such things.
How could a rapist miss her? He probably missed her body. Bernard once said that her body was like opium. After touching it once, one would get addicted.
Mr. Law was probably quite similar to Bernard.

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...
