No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1480

Eleanor found herself at a loss for words again. She really had forgotten. Lately, her mind had been entirely consumed by her lab work, leaving her no time to think about anything else.

"I—" Eleanor opened her mouth to defend herself but didn't know where to start.

Ian kindly let her off the hook. "Never mind. As long as Dr. Sutton doesn't think my hair looks terrible, it doesn't actually matter if I treat it or not."

The implication was clear: he didn't care about what others thought, only her opinion.

Eleanor picked up her teacup and let out a soft huff. "As long as it doesn't affect your health, it really doesn't matter if you fix it or not."

Ian smirked, knowing when to quit while he was ahead. He picked up his fork and took a bite of food. "The structural renovations on the house are basically done. The designers sent over a few interior decorating proposals. Let's look them over together tonight if you have time."

Eleanor thought about it. "Send them to me first. I'll take a look when I have a minute."

"Sure. For the details in the kids' room, I'll consult Evelyn for her input," Ian said.

"Okay," Eleanor nodded. She certainly wanted their daughter to feel included.

The two of them chatted about the renovations for a while longer before finishing their lunch.

Ian walked her back to the entrance of the lab before leaving.

As soon as Eleanor returned to the lab, she got a call from Joel. His lawyer had just spoken with him regarding the attack by Faye Yeaton.

"Faye's charges have been finalized. Attempted murder with severe circumstances. The lawyer said she'll probably get six years."

Holding her phone, Eleanor stood before the floor-to-ceiling window in her office. The outcome was exactly as expected. Faye had brought this upon herself, but the news still left a heavy weight in Eleanor's chest.

"Yeah, got it," Eleanor replied softly.

"Having known her for so many years, it is a bit of a shame," Joel noted, but then his tone turned serious. "But she's as pathetic as she is despicable. She isn't worth our pity."

Faye deserved her punishment. Ending up like this was ultimately a tragedy of her own making.

"Joel, it's my fault you got dragged into this," Eleanor said, full of guilt. Thank goodness he had only sustained some severe superficial wounds.
