No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 235

That evening, Eleanor tucked the divorce certificate into her locked drawer. Her daughter loved rummaging through things at home, and she couldn’t risk losing it.

Later, she cuddled her sweet little girl, the child’s warmth a comfort that wrapped around her worries. That night, Eleanor slept deeply, her dreams gentle and bright.

The next morning, a particularly complicated case required Eleanor and Gwenda to make a personal visit.

Downtown General Hospital.

As they stepped out of a patient’s room into the main lobby, Gwenda’s eyes suddenly lit up. Even with a mask on, the woman ahead of them stood out—her posture, her elegance, unmistakable. She was stunning, the kind of beauty who turned heads without trying.

Gwenda gasped, covering her mouth in surprise. “Eleanor, isn’t that Vanessa?”

Eleanor, distracted by her own thoughts, glanced where Gwenda was pointing. In an instant, she recognized Vanessa as well.

They watched as Vanessa headed down the hall—straight toward the maternity wing. Gwenda’s heart skipped a beat. Was Vanessa there for a prenatal checkup?

Gwenda’s curiosity was insatiable, always eager for a good story. Now, she was nearly bursting with it.

“Eleanor, wait for me here by the entrance, okay? I need to use the restroom,” she said, but before Eleanor could answer, Gwenda all but sprinted after Vanessa.

Five minutes later, a slightly breathless Gwenda found Eleanor in the parking lot. She glanced at her friend with a mixture of sympathy and excitement. “Eleanor, guess which department Vanessa went into?”

Eleanor didn’t need to guess.

“The maternity ward,” Gwenda confirmed, watching Eleanor’s face for a reaction.

It was a twist almost too dramatic to believe—Vanessa, Faye’s older sister, was the very woman who’d come between Eleanor and her ex-husband. Fate had a twisted sense of humor.

With someone as dazzling as Vanessa, what man wouldn’t be tempted? Even Ian, steady and rational as he’d always seemed, had let go of his marriage for her. Clearly, Vanessa had a way of making men lose their heads.
