A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1283

Chapter 1283 

Eleanor arrived home to see Hailey and Nina bustling about the kitchen, the sight bringing a tear to her eye. 

– 

She could have gone to find Bernard, but there were two people she couldn’t bear to leave behind that would be the two people in the kitchen. 

Hailey y was married to Cedric, protected by a husband and tethered by a child. Eleanor didn’t worry too much about her. But Nina… 

Nina had lost her parents and her foster father. Her only support was Eleanor and Bernard. With Bernard gone, and Eleanor, perhaps soon to follow, what would happen to Nina? 

Eleanor stood frozen, then turned to head upstairs, pulling out her phone to message Evelyn Ziegler. 

Ever since winning the custody battle, Evelyn had occasionally visited Nina. Perhaps it was Eleanor’s magnanimity and parenting style that had won Evelyn over. She had mellowed out, becoming less brash and more gentle. 

Like any grandmother visiting her granddaughter, Evelyn brought a heap of gifts for Nina every time, winning over both the child and Eleanor. Their relationship had grown a little closer. 

Eleanor messaged Evelyn, asking her to visit Nina occasionally. She did not entrust Nina to Evelyn, but merely informed her of an upcoming business trip that would keep her away for some time. She didn’t want Nina to be lonely, and requested Evelyn to keep her company. 

She then called Pearce and George, asking them to stay at Fiord Roundabout for a while. Pearce and George were unaware of the Siren Organization or Area Opaca. They only knew that Eleanor would entrust Nina to them whenever she had to leave, and they were more than happy to accept. 

It’s not that Eleanor didn’t trust Hailey, but Hailey was pregnant and taking care of a child would be exhausting. Thinking of this, Eleanor’s thoughts drifted to Liana. If Liana was still here, she would have left Nina in her care. Liana, who couldn’t have children of her own, yearned for a child and loved children… 

Eleanor put down her phone, walked to the window, and gazed at the radiant moon in the night sky. After a moment, she caressed her belly. 

“Liana, I’m pregnant. It’s a bit late, but you can finally be a godmother.” 

She couldn’t visit Liana’s grave to share the good news for now. But once she returned safely, she would go to Panama to visit Liana. 

Eleanor joined Hailey and Nina for dinner, managing to maintain a calm and steady demeanor. Hailey, worried that Eleanor’s calmness hid a deeper despair, wanted to stay and take care of her but was refused. 

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Besides, I have Bryson and Scott at home.” 

Still, Hailey was worried. “They’re all men. They can’t enter your bedroom. I should stay and be with you.” 

Eleanor patted Nina’s head. “I have her to sleep with me. What are you worried about?” 

She looked at Hailey’s belly. “I heard from Cedric that your pregnancy isn’t stable. You should go back and rest. I don’t want to explain to Cedric if anything happens to you or the baby.” 

Hailey touched her belly, unconcerned. “I’m more worried about you right now than the baby.” 

Eleanor went forward and hugged her. “Hailey, don’t worry. I’ll be fine 

Hailey patted her back. “I hope you will be.” 

She didn’t want Eleanor to leave like Liana did, promising not to worry and then disappearing silently. For Hailey, Eleanor was her inseparable kin since childhood. She couldn’t bear the thought of losing her. 

She didn’t want to let go of Eleanor, but Eleanor gently pushed her away. Hailey wanted to say something more, but Eleanor steered her outside and into the car. 

“I’ll come and check on you first thing tomorrow morning, Eleanor.” 

Hearing this, Eleanor felt a twinge of sorrow. She waved as Hailey’s car drove off. 

“I’m sorry, Hailey. Bernard is missing, and I need to find him and bring him home.” 

She stood there until the car was out of sight. Then, holding Nina’s hand, she returned home. After putting Nina to bed, she wrote a letter, mixed sleeping pills into two glasses of milk, and handed them to Bryson and Scott. 

Once the men were sound asleep, she dismissed the guards outside and left the house with her prepared suitcase and a bag full of prenatal vitamins. But halfway down the road, she ran into Robin’s car.
