No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1472

"Stop talking nonsense and let's go. Help me pick out a pen for him," Eleanor said, pulling her along.

Joy didn't press the issue. Even without her spelling it out, Eleanor knew exactly what was going on. Ian had done so much, and his goal was crystal clear.

"Let's go then! But are you sure you just want to get him a pen?"

"Yeah," Eleanor nodded. She was sure.

"A pen works, but knowing Ian, he's probably going to hope he can use it to sign your remarriage papers someday!" Joy's guesses were getting wilder by the minute.

Eleanor shot her a warning glare. "Joy."

"Okay, okay, I'll stop joking. Come on, there's a Montblanc boutique just up ahead." Joy finally dropped the teasing.

After buying the pen, Eleanor went with Joy to a children's clothing store, picking up three outfits for Joy's baby while they were there.

Eleanor got home at three in the afternoon. Not wanting to head over to Goodwin Manor too early, she worked until five-thirty before finally driving over.

When she arrived at Goodwin Manor, she saw that Serena had arranged an elaborate setup. The entire garden was steeped in a festive, birthday atmosphere.

String lights twinkled, balloons floated in the air, and giant marquee letters glowed in the twilight. A long dining table sat on the stone patio in the middle of the lawn, draped in a crisp white tablecloth and set with elegant tableware and fresh floral centerpieces. Several waitstaff in matching uniforms moved about, bustling yet organized.

Goodwin Manor rarely hosted such lively parties, but this was undoubtedly Serena's idea.

Eleanor carried her gift into the living room, where Magdalen greeted her happily. "Ellie, you're here."

"Grandma!" Eleanor walked over and sat beside her.
