No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 782

A few minutes later, Joel received the documents and turned to Ian and Byron. “Eleanor just sent these over. It’s the analysis chart from our last experiment. Mr. Goodwin, VP Chase, take a look—these results could really benefit our civilian project. This marks our first major breakthrough.”

Ian and Byron sat on the same side of the table, and Ian fixed his gaze on the file Eleanor had emailed, displayed on Joel’s laptop.

“Mr. Goodwin, look at this data point,” Byron said, pointing at the screen.

“Mm,” Ian replied, his tone perfunctory.

Byron shot him a glance, then exchanged a look with Joel. Neither could figure out why Ian suddenly seemed so distracted.

Byron cleared his throat. “Mr. Goodwin, maybe we should pick this up another day?”

Ian glanced at his watch, set down his fork and knife, and said, “Sorry, something urgent just came up. Dr. Kingsley, VP Chase, you two carry on.”

Byron and Joel stood up to see him out.

Once Ian had left, Byron frowned. “What’s going on with Mr. Goodwin?”

Joel closed his laptop, also sensing Ian’s restlessness. Was it because of Eleanor?

Byron couldn’t puzzle it out and let it go, turning to Joel to discuss some of the experimental data. The two soon became absorbed in their conversation.

Meanwhile, at Xavier’s house—

The housekeeper had just finished setting the dinner table. Eleanor was in the bathroom with the kids, helping the two little ones wash up after a spirited round of playing with the cat.

Xavier followed them in, watching Eleanor’s gentle reflection in the warm light over the sink. His heart skipped a beat. He was used to seeing Eleanor’s academic brilliance in public, but it was rare to catch a glimpse of her like this, relaxed and radiant in private.

He’d always known there was more to Eleanor than Dr. Sutton. In private, she had a captivating warmth and grace—her figure perfectly proportioned, every movement effortlessly elegant. Even just her silhouette could make your heart flutter.
