From His Wife to His Uncle's Wife novel Chapter 326

They missed each other by just ten minutes. If they’d arrived a little sooner, maybe they would’ve bumped into each other.

“Eleanor, guess what? I saw him again at the class reunion,” Yolanda said, her voice soft.

Eleanor stopped mid-bite. “Wait, you mean your ex? The one who just vanished on you?”

Yolanda nodded, sniffling a little. “Yeah, that one. He’s getting married. Good for him, I guess. He used to hustle every day, working any job he could find, but now he looks like he’s doing pretty well. Honestly, I don’t feel like I missed out.”

Eleanor studied her friend. “But… are you okay? Does it still hurt?”

Yolanda wiped her nose and shrugged. “I mean, when I first heard he was getting married, it stung. I won’t lie. But I’m married now too, so there’s nothing really left to be sad about.”

Life keeps moving. The people you miss out on, even if you meet them again, are still the wrong people for you.

Eleanor’s heart squeezed for her. She gave Yolanda’s hand a gentle squeeze. “It’s alright. Mr. Sidler is a pretty decent guy, honestly.”

Yolanda just kept quiet. She had her doubts. That man had left her covered in bruises, then had the nerve to show up at her door demanding marriage. She really couldn’t see what was so great about him.

Three days passed without a single word from the Clarkson family.

Peter Clarkson finally lost his patience. “Jessie, have you talked to Katie yet?”

Jessie’s face tightened. “Katie’s been saying she’s busy. She hasn’t had time.”

Peter let out a frustrated breath. Looked like he’d have to go to Clarkson Corporation himself.

At lunchtime, Eleanor was on her way to the cafeteria when she noticed Peter’s car in the parking lot. She was surprised. What was he doing here?

Peter sat alone in the reception area, watching people leave for lunch, but there was still no sign of Max.

He waited until three in the afternoon before Max’s assistant finally led him to the office.
