No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1537

A sober-minded indulgence.

Life was just a series of choices, even if she was perfectly self-sufficient and didn't need anything from anyone else.

But...

Her own heart, it seemed, was still entirely tilted in his direction.

Early the next morning, Evelyn dashed over to Ian's side of the house the second she washed her face. "Daddy, take me to school!"

A few minutes later, Ian strode in, dressed impeccably in a tailored suit, holding Evelyn's hand as they headed out.

Joslyn watched them from the doorway with a beaming smile. "Mr. Goodwin is up so early!"

Then she glanced back at Eleanor. "Ma'am, I'll make your breakfast and whip up a bowl of oatmeal."

Eleanor's face instantly burned red. Had Joslyn heard her sneaking over to Ian's last night? Did she get the wrong idea?

"Joslyn, skip the oatmeal. Just my usual breakfast is fine. I need to eat and get to work," Eleanor said quickly.

Joslyn didn't push it, merely chuckling. "Alright, I'll get your breakfast ready. And I'll prep his too, so it'll be hot when he gets back."

"Thanks," Eleanor replied, hurrying upstairs to tidy her bedroom.

The school drop-off was a quick five-minute drive. Ian arrived back at the villa just in time for Joslyn's breakfast.

By the time they finished eating and were ready to head out, it was already nine o'clock. As Eleanor went to start her car, Ian blatantly decided to hitch a ride.

"We're both going to Meridian Dynamics. I don't feel like driving," he said, not even bothering to invent a decent excuse.

Eleanor didn't argue. Ian pulled open the passenger door and slid in.

"Did you sleep well?" he asked.
