Chapter 306
Eleanor sensed he had hidden meanings, like he was trying to hint at something.
But she didn’t want to poke further, knowing Ethan wouldn’t spill the beans anyway
Ethan really didn’t plan on spilling more to her, he simply reminded her and stood up straight, walked away
Watching the luxury car speed away. Eleanor felt a bit of relief.
Though she knew Ethan would be back, at least for now she could enjoy a breather.
However, thinking about the three billion, her just–relaxed body tensed up again.
As she sat there in a daze, Hailey rang her up, asking why she hadn’t arrived yet.
Eleanor shook off her thoughts, said “I’m on my way” and drove off to Hailey’s villa.
Worried that Eleanor hadn’t eaten lunch, Hailey prepared a feast in the garden.
Seeing Eleanor get out of the car from a distance, she quickly called her over, “Eleanor, come grab a bite.”
Seeing the cheerful Hailey, Eleanor felt a bit more relaxed. She smiled and walked towards her.
Hailey pulled out a chair for her. After she sat down, Hailey poured her a bowl of soup. “You need to eat more, you’re too skinny”
She thought Eleanor had a great figure, but a bit on the skinny side. She used to be sick and couldn’t eat much: Now that she had recovered, she should eat more.
Eleanor’s heart felt warm, “Alright, I’ll take your word for it.”
She said, and took a sip from the spoon. The soup slid down her throat, bringing tears to her eyes.
Her old wish was to stay with Hailey. Despite all she had been through, she never got to realize this wish. Now she had her freedom, she could finally be with Hailey, but it might be a temporary freedom.
Seeing her welling up, Hailey thought something was wrong. Her face turned serious, “Eleanor, what’s wrong?”
Eleanor shook her head, smiled and said, “Hailey, Ethan’s gone back to the G country.”
Hailey was first stunned, then showed a joyful smile, “He let you off the hook?”
Thinking about the agreement she signed, Eleanor’s face turned gloomy.
All of Ethan’s moves were premeditated. Even now with Ethan back in the G country and unable to return, as long as the agreement was there, he wouldn’t let her off easily.
Being targeted by such a calculated man, she could hardly escape his grasp.
Seeing her silence, Hailey knew Ethan wouldn’t let her off just like that.
She frowned, thought for a few seconds, then suggested, “Eleanor, since he’s gone, we should take the chance and make a run for it.”
As long as Eleanor could break free from Ethan, she would go anywhere, even if it was some remote place.
Eleanor had considered running away, but…
She put down the spoon, said to Hailey, “There’s something I wanted to tell you yesterday, but didn’t get the chance.”

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...
