No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1091

Eleanor thought about Magdalen being home alone and decided it was time to go visit her.

Eleanor said to Serena, "Alright, you can ride with me."

"Thanks, Ellie." A little later, Serena had two gifts delivered by courier.

At five o'clock, Serena got into Eleanor's car to head home. Watching the scenery fly by, she felt as if she'd been given a new lease on life, with Eleanor as her savior.

"Ellie, even after you get married, can we still be friends?" Serena asked suddenly, as if afraid Eleanor would cut her off completely.

Eleanor kept her eyes on the road, her voice calm. "You're Evelyn's aunt. That will never change."

Serena's heart warmed, and her eyes stung a little. She said softly, "Ellie, I know that saying sorry a million times won't erase the stupid things I've done."

"It's all in the past," Eleanor said, glancing at her. "You have to look forward."

Serena pressed her lips together and nodded, swallowing the words she wanted to say. She understood that apologies were useless; actions would speak louder than any further words.

Serena wanted to ask about Mansfield, but didn't dare. She also wanted to ask about Ian, but was afraid of Eleanor's reaction.

So she remained quiet as the car headed toward Goodwin Manor.

When Eleanor's car pulled into the driveway, Magdalen came out, holding Evelyn's hand. As soon as Serena got out, Evelyn ran happily into her arms, shouting, "Auntie!"

Serena's eyes immediately turned red. She hugged her little niece. "Let Auntie give you a kiss."

Magdalen walked over to Eleanor. "Ellie, you're here too! This is wonderful. The house hasn't been this lively in ages."

The old woman cleaned her tears and forced a smile. "It's just his hair. He still looks strong. Come on, let's go inside! I've made all your favorite dishes!"

Serena took the gifts and went with Evelyn to unwrap them, while Ian sat on the sofa, watching the old woman offer Eleanor some fruit.

"You should have some fruit too. Don't just think about work all day; you need to get proper nutrition," the old woman said, placing a plate of fruit in front of him.

Ian smiled. "I know, Grandma."

"I'll go check on the food in the kitchen. You two talk," Magdalen said, getting up, clearly intending to give them some space.

Just then, Eleanor's phone rang. She glanced at it, put down the orange she was peeling, and answered.

"Hello, Mansfield," she said, getting up and walking into the sunroom.
