Chapter 112
Hailey was still pissed about Eleanor being bullied by a stranger.
The whole way, she kept saying that next time they saw Mr. Law, they’d bring some dangerous stuff to keep him in line.
if Mr. Law dared to mess with them, she’d teach him a lesson on the spot.
Halley was grinding her teeth when she said this, gripping the steering wheel tightly
Eleanor was worried that she might break the wheel, so she nodded in agreement while asking Hailey to pay attention to driving safely.
The two chatted as they drove to the supermarket, loaded up on food, and headed back home.
When they got back home and headed to the kitchen to cook dinner, Austin showed up just at the right time.
He greeted Eleanor and rolled up his sleeves, taking the kitchen knife from Hailey
“You two go watch TV, I got this”
Austin’s gentleness made Hailey smile sweetly
“Your cooking is definitely better than ours, so we’ll leave tonight’s feast in your hands.”
Hailey patted him on the shoulder and then went to the living room with Eleanor to watch TV
As soon as the TV was turned on, it started to repeat the news about the business alliance between the Lawrence Group and the Ratliff Group
Hailey’s eyes widened in surprise when she saw Bernard with a woman who looked somewhat like Eleanor.
“Eleanor, that woman
It seemed like she suddenly understood something and immediately closed her mouth. No wonder Bernard forced Eleanor to sign such an agreement, it turned out he saw Eleanor as a substitute.
It looked like Eleanor was not only abandoned by Bernard but also used.
Five years, Eleanor had given five years of her life, and this was the outcome
She glanced at Eleanor, who looked calm and not at all surprised, as if she had known all along, and her heart grew even more bitter.
“Don’t feel bad.”
Hailey reached over and petted Eleanor’s hair, not knowing what to say to comfort her.
Eleanor had long been indifferent about being a substitute and only smiled at Hailey
“I got over it a while ago, but why do you look so upset?”
1 feel bad for you”
Eleanor sighed, comforting her and herself: “Although he considered me as Ms. Ratliff’s substitute, he treated me well over the years. Besides, I was able to forget about Garett thanks to him. You could say I used him to forget the past.”
Hearing this, Hailey felt a bit relieved: “We should be thankful to him then”
Eleanor laughed: 7 wouldn’t go that far
Hailey tapped her head: “He bullied you, and you didn’t fight back.”
Eleanor smirked: “I did fight back”
The few times he came to find her, she had made him angry – that counted as fighting back, right?

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...
