A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30 

When Hailey saw Eleanor about to lock the suitcase, she quickly went up to stop her but got shoved away. 

Hailey sighed helplessly, “Why are you so stubborn?” 

After locking the suitcase, Eleanor turned and hugged Hailey’s arm. 

“Growing up, you’ve always taken care of me, and I’ve never done anything for you. Just take this as a token of appreciation from your little sister.” 

Hailey still disagreed, knowing Eleanor was already struggling. How could she take her money? 

However, Eleanor insisted on giving it to her, so Hailey reluctantly accepted the bank card for now. 

She planned to put the card back in Eleanor’s room on her wedding day. 

No matter what, she couldn’t take the money Eleanor had worked so hard to earn. 

After packing a few things, the two lay in one room, on one bed. 

Like they used to do when they were young, they chatted about the future while doing skincare. 

Hailey mentioned Eleanor’s marriage, claiming breaking up with Bernard was good news. A guy like him, with his high status, would never marry a random girl. She advised Eleanor to find someone else, someone with a matching status and who earned a decent income, so she wouldn’t have to worry about money in the future. 

She said this house would be their prenuptial property. If one of them ever had a hard time in their marriage, she could move back in. 

This house would be their backup and shelter, with it, they had nothing to fear. 

Eleanor agreed to everything, not wanting to raise Hailey’s suspicions.

Holding Hailey’s arm, Eleanor felt so lucky to have such a loving friend. Even if death were to come early for her, she wouldn’t have any 

regrets. 

Like when they were younger, she fell asleep peacefully in Hailey’s arms. 

That night she slept soundest she had in a while, but time flew quickly, and soon it was Hailey’s wedding day. 

Eleanor was a little reluctant to see Hailey go, but she knew Hailey’s future life would include not only her but also her new family. 

So, she hid her reluctance and happily helped Hailey with the wedding preparations. 

After the makeup artist had done her work, the photographer took many photos and recorded Hailey walking down the aisle. 

Eleanor followed, holding Hailey’s dress, her face beaming with happiness. 

Austin waited excitedly and emotionally at the end of the aisle. 

They held the wedding at a hotel, then proceeded to the wedding banquet and finally to the bridal suite., 

The hotel wasn’t overly luxurious but had everything they needed. 

From the look of it, Austin cared deeply for Hailey, and Eleanor felt reassured. 

Hailey didn’t have many relatives, only the director of the orphanage came to see her off. 

The hotel was filled with Austin’s kin. 

The wedding’s theme was a romantic starry sky, with countless roses in full bloom at both ends of the venue. Amid twinkling lights, the atmosphere felt like a galáxy filled with stars. 

Hailey, dressed in her white wedding gown, looked as if she were in a dazzling galaxy. 

Eleanor watched Hailey with teary eyes, placing Hailey’s hand, the hand that had accompanied her through half of her life, into Austin’s. 

From this moment on, Hailey would start her new life journey, and Eleanor would have nothing left to regret. 

Under the priest’s guidance, the wedding ceremony reached the exchange of rings. 

Just as Austin was about to put the diamond ring on Hailey’s finger, an abrupt voice suddenly broke the joyful atmosphere- 

“How come I wasn’t invited to such a grand wedding?”
