Chapter 229
As Fleanor was wondering who that person was, the door was pushed open from the Inside.
Allysha came out holding a three-year-old child and appeared in front of Eleanor.
Eleanor glanced at Alysha, then at the child in her arms.
She was taken aback for a moment, thinking that Allysha was temporarily living in Halley and Austin’s house, so she didn’t ask much and just said, “I’m your sister-in-law’s friend, is she home?”
At first, Allysha didn’t recognize the beautiful woman in front of her, until she spoke up, then she realized who she was.
“You’re…
Scared beyond belief, she turned pale and stepped back while holding the child, “A ghost!!!”
Fleanor was a bit puzzled and stepped forward, about to tell her that she was alive, not a ghost.
But Alysha frightened by her move, turned and ran, honey, that bad womans friend has turned into a ghost and is coming for us!!!
Hearing these words. Eleanor stopped in her tracks. Who was she calling “honey? And who was the “bad woman she mentioned?
Just as she was frowning in thought, Austin came out of the kitchen. Seeing Eleanor standing in the doorway dressed in red, he was so scared that his body went weak.
He looked as if he had done something guilty and was even more frightened than Allysha unable to speak
Eleanor had no time for his drama and went straight up to him, asking coldly. “Where’s Hailey?”
Standing so close to her, Austin smelled her fragrance which reassured him that she was a living person, not a ghost…
But, hadn’t Eleanor died three years ago? How could she be standing here now?
Austin couldn’t believe it, his eyes wide in shock, staring at Eleanor without even hearing her question.
Impatiently, Eleaner asked again. “Where’s Hailey?”
This time. Austin came to his senses but was still scared, ‘She should be, at the nightclub…
Hailey usually worked night shifts and rarely went to the rightclub during the day, so why was the there no
now?
Eleanor had no time for this. Her priority was to find Hailey and figure out what had happened during these three years.
She rushed downstairs, out of the residential area, and drove to the nightclub.
Haley worked at a place called The Secret Garden, an upscale entertainment venue in A City
Eleanor parked her car and went straight in to find Hailey But she found that the place had been redecorated, so she froze for a moment.
The interior had been transformed into an elegant and luxurious night-like environment, much more high end than before.
She glanced around briefly then went to the front desk, ‘Hello, could you please call Hailey out for me?”
The receptionist stood, gave a standard smile, and asked, “Who are you?”
Eleanor stated that she was Hailey’s friend, and upon hearing this, the receptionist apologized. Im sorry, miss, our boss is not here at the moment.”
Boss? Hailey was the boss here?
Eleanor was confused, wondering if Garett had bought the place for Hailey to thank him for taking care of her
With many questions in her heart, she couldn’t help but ask eagerly, “Do you know when she’ll be back?”
The receptionist shook her head with a smile, T’m not sure.”
Eleanor had no choice but to ask for Hailey’s contact number, but the receptionist refused since she had to protect her boss’s privacy.
Not wanting to cause any trouble, Eleanor still didn’t give up, and asked the receptionist to make a phone call to Halley.
The receptionist kindly dialed Hailey’s number, but unfortunately, she didn’t answer.
Eleanor sighed, found a place to cit, and decided to wall for Hailey there.

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...
