No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 371

Eleanor Sutton’s refusal was written all over her face. “I have plans tonight.”

“I know, but Grandma hasn’t been feeling well lately. She keeps saying she wants to see you.”

The mention of Magdalen softened Eleanor’s heart, despite herself.

From the first time Eleanor met Magdalen, she’d felt the warmth of her kindness. Her own grandparents had passed away when she was very young, so Magdalen had filled that void—offering the gentle affection and support she’d missed all her life.

Magdalen truly cared about her.

But thinking of everything that had happened recently, Eleanor steeled herself again. “I’ll visit her another day when I have time.”

Ian Goodwin didn’t seem inclined to press her further.

Just then, Eleanor’s phone rang. Glancing at the screen, she was surprised to see it was Magdalen herself calling.

Ian noticed, too, and said quietly, “I’ll go pick up Evelyn.”

Eleanor had no choice but to answer. “Hello, Grandma Magdalen Goodwin.”

“Ellie, I heard you were named one of the city’s Top Ten Outstanding Women! That’s wonderful news. Let’s celebrate together tonight over dinner, just the family.”

“Grandma, I—”

“Don’t worry! It’ll be just us. No one else,” Magdalen said pointedly.

Realizing Magdalen just wanted to congratulate her in person, Eleanor couldn’t bring herself to refuse. “Alright, Grandma. I’ll pick up Evelyn first.”

“Good. Come with Ian when you’re ready,” Magdalen replied, then hung up.

Just then, the bell rang at the preschool.
