A Second Chance at Forever

Hailey frowned and said, “You’re already too skinny, listen
Austin couldn’t help but laugh: “are you trying to get the part
from now on you have to eat lots of food every meal!”
bestie gain weight for your wedding.”
Hailey defended her: “Eleanor would still look good
even
if she on some weight.”
Austin nodded: “Yeah, yeah, so can we go for the makeup trial now
With Austin interrupting, Hailey forgot to scold Eleanor, and dragged her to the makeup room.
They tried out their wedding day makeup at the bridal shop, and then went to the hotel to practice the wedding procedures.
After getting everything done, Austin took Hailey and Eleanor to a restaurant for a meal, and then sent them home.
Upon returning home, Hailey took a short rest and started packing.
Austin had bought a new house for their marriage, so Hailey would be moving in after the wedding.
“Eleanor, when I move into the new house, this little home will be your responsibility. Take good care of our home.”
For Hailey, this house would be her future haven with Eleanor guarding it, and that made her feel secure.
“Okay.”
Eleanor smiled and nodded, taking the clothes from Hailey’s hands and folding them neatly.
Hailey picked some frequently worn clothes from the wardrobe and didn’t plan to pack more.
Although she and Austin would be married, she would still visit Eleanor often.
Eleanor understood her thoughts, and didn’t say anything more.

After helping her put the folded clothes into her suitcase, Eleanor smiled and said, “I have a wedding gift for you.”
With a smile on her face, Hailey asked, “What gift?”
“Wait for me.”
Eleanor turned and went back to her bedroom, opened her drawer, took out a bank card, and handed it to Hailey.
“This is some money I saved for you, take it and use it.”
For a married
ed woman, it’s important to have some pocket money.
Over the years, Eleanor had divided her salary into several parts: one for Bernard, one for Hailey, and one for daily expenses.
With her monthly salary and annual bonus, her yearly income was almost $60,000. Almost all of it was saved, and after repaying
Bernard, there was around $40,000 left.
Although it wasn’t much, if Hailey ever encountered any problems after getting married, she would have some money to use,
which would put Eleanor at ease.
Besides, this money was clean, not earned from selling her body, but from her own hard work, so Hailey could use it with a clear
conscience.
Seeing the bank card, Hailey was astonished.
She thought that after Eleanor returned one million to Bernard, there wouldn’t be much money left.
She even planned to give Eleanor some more money, but didn’t expect Eleanor to save money for her.
She must have saved it by living frugally and not spending much.
No wonder she became so thin, it must have been from skipping meals a lot.
She patted Eleanor’s cheek with affection, “Eleanor, you’ve suffered a lot.”

Eleanor smiled gently, “My annual salary is quite high, and I don’t usually spend much. So, saving money hasn’t been a problem.
Just
take it.”
Hailey handed back the bank card that Eleanor had given her, “I can’t take this money. I am older than you, and as your sister, I
should be preparing a wedding gift for you. It’s not traditional for a younger sister to give a dowry to her older sister.”
Eleanor knew she wouldn’t accept it, so she didn’t insist anymore, and simply stuffed the bank card into her suitcase.
