Too Late to Ask Too Late to Love (Julian and Eleanor) novel Chapter 11

For some reason, when he said that name, Eleanor’s face flashed in his mind, her every smile and frown.

Just like in his dreams for the past five years, she smiled at him, gentle and sweet.

He missed her so much.

Eleanor…

Where are you?

Won’t you come back?

As his thoughts slowly came back into focus, Brandon pulled up the schedule on his tablet. “Should we keep watching the Rose Garden?

Eleanor hasn’t contacted anyone at the Rose Garden in five years.”

The Rose Garden…

That name, just like Eleanor’s, hadn’t been mentioned in a very long time.

He still remembered that the Rose Garden was the gift Eleanor wanted most when she was seventeen.

Later, he gave it to her, but she never once went to stay there…

Although he occasionally heard news about the Rose Garden, he had never set foot in it himself.

He knew that after Eleanor left, the Rose Garden had been given to Sarah.

“Keep watching it. If she contacts the Rose Garden…”

“I’ll contact you immediately.”

Brandon replied respectfully.

After saying that, he left the CEO’s office. Just as he was giving instructions to the staff in the secretarial office, the person in charge of watching the Rose Garden rushed over. “Olivia went to the Rose Garden!”

What is she doing at the Rose Garden?”

Brandon was puzzled, but he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

If she was just there to see the sights, the lookout wouldn’t have made a special trip. She must be familiar with Sarah.

But Olivia has been abroad for years. How would she know Sarah?

After a moment of thought, Brandon decisively made a move. “I’m going to the Rose Garden.”

Inside the Rose Garden.

Sarah was holding Eleanor’s hand, her eyes filled with tears. “Sending you away back then was both the thing I regret most and the thing I don’t regret at all. I was truly prepared to never see you again. It’s so good that you’re back. This time… are you leaving again?”

“This time… it’s hard to say.”

Eleanor thought of that easily jealous man and didn’t give a definite answer.

Watching Sarah excitedly hold her hand, she was also moved, and her eyes reddened.

“Alright, I heard you came back this time because you signed a contract with the Blackwood Group. Have you… thought it through?

About Julian…”

Sarah didn’t finish her sentence, but Eleanor knew what she was trying to say.

She squeezed Sarah’s hand back and reassured her, “Don’t worry, Sarah. Since I left five years ago, it means I had already given up. I won’t be that foolish again this time. It’s just business.”

The ring on her ring finger pressed into Sarah’s hand. She looked at Eleanor for two seconds, then let out a heavy sigh. “As long as you’ve moved on.”

She knew how much Julian had regretted it after Eleanor left. After things with Sophia ended, he had secretly and openly sent people to her to ask for news about Eleanor.

If that wasn’t regret, what was?

Sarah gasped, suddenly remembering that Julian still had people secretly watching this place.

Although the two of them would have to meet sooner or later for work.

But now, in private, and at the Rose Garden of all places, it was bound to be a little awkward!

Sarah felt a pang of regret, but she truly missed her best friend whom she hadn’t seen in five years. She even wanted to convince Eleanor to stay the night!

Just as she was thinking about this, Brandon arrived.

“Sorry to bother you, Ms. Lynn. You’re a friend of Ms. Vance’s, and with the holidays coming up, Mr. Blackwood asked me to bring you a gift.”

Brandon didn’t finish his sentence. The moment he saw Eleanor, he froze.
