A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 228

Eleanor noticed the driver treating Ethan with lots of respect and felt a bit puzzled.

As she got into the car, she couldn't help but look over at Ethan and ask, "What do you do for a living?"

She had never seen Ethan go to work during the year they spent together in another country, yet as soon as they returned home, he suddenly became Mr. Ziegler.

Ethan raised an eyebrow and said arrogantly, "I'm an architect."

The driver added, "A famous international architect. He's like, the second most famous."

Eleanor went along with the driver and asked, "Who's the first then?"

The driver suddenly went quiet, and Ethan just stared out the window.

It seemed like she’d brought up a sensitive topic, and the atmosphere in the car turned chilly.

Eleanor thought for a moment, maybe it was her sister Emilia?

She went to see Hailey first because of the truma she got from the Clowers Group, making her afraid to approach Garett like before.

She drove in a hurry to the apartment, but found the lock had been changed, even the front door had been replaced.

Eleanor stood outside, dumbfounded and feeling lost. She wondered if Hailey might be in her honeymoon suite.

Despite thinking Hailey probably wouldn't be there, Eleanor still went to the residential complex where Austin and Hailey lived.

She parked the car outside the complex, registered at the security desk, and rushed into the building.

Coming out of the elevator, she walked straight to their apartment, feeling a bit nervous.

Fearing scaring Hailey, she took a few deep breaths and mustered the courage to knock on the door.

A female voice soon came from inside, "Who is it?"

The voice didn't sound like Hailey's. Instead, it sounded a little like...
