No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1484

Through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, the city skyline stretched out endlessly.

Joel was recovering very well. Dressed in comfortable loungewear, his complexion looked perfectly normal, and that familiar gentle demeanor still rested on his features. Over the past three years, he had noticeably matured.

"Make yourself at home," Joel said, gesturing around. "Can I get you anything to drink? Tea, coffee? Or some juice?"

"I can get it myself!" Eleanor replied, not wanting him to go through the trouble.

She brought over two glasses of warm water and looked him up and down with concern. "How are you feeling? Does it still hurt?"

"Much better. The wound just itches a bit since it's healing and growing new tissue." Joel took his glass and smiled. "Don't worry, the doctor said my recovery is going perfectly."

Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, Joel's phone rang. It was his lawyer.

When he returned from taking the call, he looked at Eleanor. "Faye Yeaton's sentencing should happen next month at the earliest."

Holding her glass, Eleanor fell silent for a moment.

Joel looked at her with a gentle, unwavering gaze. "Ellie, don't waste any more energy worrying about this. This is the price she has to pay. Let's just consider the matter closed."

Eleanor nodded. "Yeah."

A brief silence settled between them before Eleanor looked around the new place. "It's beautiful. The view is incredible."

"Yeah! When I first looked at this place, this unobstructed view was exactly what sold me." Joel smiled. "Sometimes, when work gets exhausting, just looking out at the horizon really helps me unwind."

"So, isn't it about time you found a woman to share it with?" Eleanor asked with a smile.

Joel chuckled softly. "Being single is fine too. I'm used to it."

Eleanor didn't push the topic. Love was a funny thing; sometimes it hit you when you least expected it, and there was no use forcing it.
