No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 738

Eleanor frowned and called out to her daughter, “Evelyn, it’s time for us to head home.”

Ian swallowed hard. Eleanor’s reaction made it clear—she didn’t want the gift he’d brought.

“Dad forgot this time, but I’ll make it up to Mom next time,” Ian said, scooping Evelyn into his arms as he walked to the trunk. He opened it to reveal a pink box of building blocks.

“Wow!” Evelyn gasped, eyes wide with delight. “I love this present!”

Seeing his daughter’s excitement, Ian’s expression softened. He’d spent hours online last night searching for just the right one.

He handed her the gift box, and Evelyn clutched it, tugging at his sleeve. “Daddy, come upstairs and have dinner with us!”

Ian looked over at Eleanor, silently asking for her approval.

“Evelyn, honey, your dad has things to take care of tonight. Let’s not keep him, okay?” Eleanor said gently.

“Alright,” Evelyn nodded, letting go of his hand with surprising maturity.

Ian bent down and kissed his daughter on the forehead. “Merry Christmas, princess.”

He straightened, glancing at the bouquet Eleanor was holding with a conflicted look before turning to leave.

Moments later, the sound of Ian’s car engine echoed through the parking lot and quickly faded as he drove away.

Eleanor took Evelyn by the hand and led her home. As they walked in, Joslyn noticed the gift in Evelyn’s arms and did a double-take. “Oh! Evelyn, who gave you that?”

“My dad did,” Evelyn replied.

Joslyn shot Eleanor a look, pointing to an identical gift box sitting on the sofa. “Ma’am, Mr. Vaughn delivered that himself just about ten minutes ago.”

“Huh? It’s exactly the same as the one from my dad! Now I have two presents!” Evelyn squealed, running over to the sofa, absolutely thrilled by the double surprise.
