No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1440

After Eleanor got into her car, Mansfield's voice came, low and clear. "Eleanor, it might not be easy to stay in touch, but you know I'll always be your friend, and someone you can rely on."

His words were simple but carried immense weight. There was no ambiguity, no regret—only open-hearted concern and a pure blessing.

The budding feelings that had once existed between them were now transformed by him into a solid friendship and a one-sided promise of protection.

Eleanor's eyes grew warm, and she nodded firmly. "Mansfield, you have to promise to stay safe."

"Okay, I promise," Mansfield smiled. Under the dim yellow light, his smile was handsome and clean, just like the man himself.

Just then, Mansfield's gaze shifted to a black SUV parked about a dozen meters away. His eyes narrowed sharply. "Is that car your security detail?" he asked Eleanor.

Eleanor nodded. "Ian sent them."

Mansfield smiled. "Then I can rest easy."

"You should get going too," Eleanor said.

"Goodbye." Mansfield turned and strode toward his black Land Rover. He opened the door, got in with a clean, decisive motion, started the engine, and drove away.

Eleanor watched his car merge into traffic and disappear. She couldn't help but sigh. Mansfield had passed through her world like a shooting star, ultimately speeding toward his own destiny.

Eleanor started her car and left. In the car behind her, a text message was sent.

-

Goodwin Manor.

Ian's phone chimed. He picked it up. [Ms. Sutton's dinner has concluded.]

Ian texted back, [Stay with her car.]

[Understood.]

Ian looked out the window into the night, a complex mix of emotions in his eyes. But more than anything, there was a sense of relief, as if the dust had finally settled.
