Chapter 28 

In about ten days, it’s going to be the ninth of next month

Eleanor was going to different hospitals every day to get prescriptions, saving up pills with sleepinducing ingredients

She stored the pills away and saw a box on the table

That’s when she remembered she hadn’t returned the gown and necklace to Josef yet, so she quickly picked up her phone and arranged for a courier

Even though she planned to deal with Josef, these things didn’t belong to her, so she would definitely return them

The courier came quickly, and once the stuff was sent out, she felt relieved

Seeing the gown and necklace being returned, Josef’s eyes lit up with excitement

This woman, Eleanor, really is different; other people would’ve sold these luxurious things for money by now, but she returned them! He figured he had met his match, but that was alright. Once she got the project, he would conquer her thoroughly

After resting at home for a while, Eleanor received a call from Hailey

Her custommade wedding dress was ready, and she wanted Eleanor to come with her to the bridal shop to try it on

Eleanor, exhausted, immediately went to the bridal shop Hailey sent her to

Hailey’s fiancé, Austin Zimmer, was also there, and he greeted Eleanor when she arrived

Eleanor politely responded with a smile, Where’s Hailey?”

Luckily, Hailey came out of the changing room soon after, calling Eleanor’s name softly, pulling Eleanor back from her drowsiness

Hailey didn’t notice anything unusual about her and lifted her large wedding dress to show it to Eleanor and Austin, twirling in front of 

them

How do I look?” 

Beautiful.” 

Eleanor forced a sweet smile through her exhaustion

Austin also quickly added, My wife looks beautiful in anything.” 

Hailey laughed and lightly patted his shoulder, saying he knew how to please her

Austin indulgently rubbed her head

Seeing Hailey and Austin’s stable and harmonious relationship after eight years together, Eleanor was relieved

Austin had made it out of his hometown on his own merits, being wellgroomed and goodhearted

Hailey said he’d had a hard life, so he knew how difficult it was to have a happy life and would cherish his family more
