Chapter 30
When Hailey saw Eleanor about to lock the suitcase, she quickly went up to stop her but got shoved away.
Hailey sighed helplessly, “Why are you so stubborn?”
After locking the suitcase, Eleanor turned and hugged Hailey’s arm.
“Growing up, you’ve always taken care of me, and I’ve never done anything for you. Just take this as a token of appreciation from your little sister.”
Hailey still disagreed, knowing Eleanor was already struggling. How could she take her money?
However, Eleanor insisted on giving it to her, so Hailey reluctantly accepted the bank card for now.
She planned to put the card back in Eleanor’s room on her wedding day.
No matter what, she couldn’t take the money Eleanor had worked so hard to earn.
After packing a few things, the two lay in one room, on one bed.
Like they used to do when they were young, they chatted about the future while doing skincare.
Hailey mentioned Eleanor’s marriage, claiming breaking up with Bernard was good news. A guy like him, with his high status, would never marry a random girl. She advised Eleanor to find someone else, someone with a matching status and who earned a decent income, so she wouldn’t have to worry about money in the future.
She said this house would be their prenuptial property. If one of them ever had a hard time in their marriage, she could move back in.
This house would be their backup and shelter, with it, they had nothing to fear.
Eleanor agreed to everything, not wanting to raise Hailey’s suspicions.

Holding Hailey’s arm, Eleanor felt so lucky to have such a loving friend. Even if death were to come early for her, she wouldn’t have any
regrets.
Like when they were younger, she fell asleep peacefully in Hailey’s arms.
That night she slept soundest she had in a while, but time flew quickly, and soon it was Hailey’s wedding day.
Eleanor was a little reluctant to see Hailey go, but she knew Hailey’s future life would include not only her but also her new family.
So, she hid her reluctance and happily helped Hailey with the wedding preparations.
After the makeup artist had done her work, the photographer took many photos and recorded Hailey walking down the aisle.
Eleanor followed, holding Hailey’s dress, her face beaming with happiness.
Austin waited excitedly and emotionally at the end of the aisle.
They held the wedding at a hotel, then proceeded to the wedding banquet and finally to the bridal suite.,
The hotel wasn’t overly luxurious but had everything they needed.
From the look of it, Austin cared deeply for Hailey, and Eleanor felt reassured.
Hailey didn’t have many relatives, only the director of the orphanage came to see her off.
The hotel was filled with Austin’s kin.

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...
