No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 202

“Is that even a reasonable request?” Eleanor tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

“As long as you accept it, Miss Sutton, it’s reasonable. Of course, you’re free to refuse,” Frazier replied.

Eleanor couldn’t fathom why Ian would make such a ridiculous demand.

“What’s going through his mind?” she asked, turning to Frazier, hoping for an answer.

Frazier smiled faintly, adjusting his glasses. “If you’d like, Miss Sutton, I can give you my take on Mr. Goodwin’s motives.”

Eleanor nodded, signaling him to go on.

“My guess is, Mr. Goodwin’s trying to leave the door open for a possible reconciliation.”

Reconciliation?

That was never going to happen—not in this lifetime.

Frazier handed her a pen. “If everything looks good on your end, please sign here. I’ll coordinate with Mr. Goodwin’s lawyer and we’ll finalize a date for the divorce as soon as possible.”

Eleanor signed, then thanked him sincerely. “Thank you for handling this.”

That evening, Joy threw Eleanor an early “divorce countdown” celebration, booking a table at their favorite bistro.

The two friends laughed and ate until they were completely satisfied, then headed home together.

The next morning, Eleanor got a call from Meridian Dynamics—there was a meeting scheduled for the afternoon.

This time, the meeting would be held at Goodwin & Co. headquarters.

“I doubt he knows your brother and Eleanor are getting divorced,” Vanessa replied. After all, Eleanor was still officially Mrs. Goodwin.

Serena scoffed. “Then he’s cozying up to the wrong woman. He should be working on you—the future Mrs. Goodwin.”

Vanessa just pressed her lips together, offering no explanation.

A little later, Ian strode in, sharp in a tailored suit, flanked by three senior executives. He glanced briefly in Eleanor’s direction before his sister waved him over. He gave Vanessa a lingering look.

Vanessa greeted him with a flirtatious smile.

Eleanor caught the exchange as she looked up. By now, it was no surprise—wherever Ian went, Vanessa was right there at his side.

Was there any occasion left where he didn’t bring her along?
