No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 166

Eleanor had already anticipated that Ian wouldn't agree to a divorce so easily, but she was prepared for it. She picked up her purse and said coolly, "Then I guess I'll see you in court."

With that, she turned to leave.

Ian immediately stood up and caught up, grabbing her wrist with a desperate urgency in his voice. "As long as you don't divorce me, I'll give you anything you want, Eleanor."

She pulled her hand free and stepped back, her tone icy. "No. I'm divorcing you, no matter what."

Ian took a deep breath, his gaze intense as he looked at her. "Just… give me a little more time."

Without waiting for a response, he grabbed his car keys and strode out.

Eleanor frowned. What was he up to this time? Just trying to stall the divorce?

A little later, Eleanor left as well. She drove to a quiet, old neighborhood of townhouses—a property her parents had left her. The house's exterior was weathered by time and rain, but she made sure to have a cleaning service come by regularly, so inside it was always tidy.

Pushing open the gate and switching on the living room light, Eleanor took a long breath. After the divorce, this would be the new home for her and her daughter.

She called Frazier, her attorney, who analyzed Ian's response and advised her to be patient and give him a little time. After all, Ian would need to get his finances in order before they could discuss the division of assets.

Thursday afternoon arrived, and Eleanor went to pick up her daughter right on time. When she stepped into the living room, she noticed three large suitcases neatly packed—Gina was getting ready to leave the country.

"Evelyn, let's go home with Mom now. Grandma will come back soon to visit you," Gina said, ruffling her granddaughter's hair and hugging her tightly, her eyes glistening with tears.

Evelyn hugged her back, reluctant to let go. "Grandma, you have to come back and play with me soon, okay?"

"I promise, sweetie, I'll be back as soon as I can." Gina wiped her eyes, then turned to Eleanor. "Ian's traveling with me this time, so I'll have to trouble you to look after Evelyn for a while."

Eleanor blinked in surprise. Ian was going abroad too?
