Hailey was totally shocked when she heard they were going to have a makeup wedding: “Are you guys sure?”
Eleanor stirred her face mask with a small spoon and replied, “We’re already married, so of course we have to have a makeup wedding.
She hoped that a wedding would reassure Garett, help him let go of the past, and start anew.
Hailey looked at the determined Eleanor and suddenly didn’t know what to say.
As she remained silent, Eleanor said to her, “Hailey, you’ve said before that if Garett and I got married, you’d be my bridesmaid.”
Hailey didn’t answer but instead touched her short hair, “Eleanor, are you really decided to start over with Garett?”
Eleanor nodded honestly, “I once wanted to take care of him for the rest of my life, but it’s not fair to him if I only do it out of guilt. I decided in the church to let go of everything and start over with him…”
Hearing this, Hailey didn’t know if she should be glad she took Eleanor to the church, but she felt it wasn’t fair to Bernard either. After all, Bernard had done so much for Eleanor, even saving Garett’s life…
Eleanor seemed to guess what Hailey was thinking and said after a few seconds of silence, “Hailey, I’m starting to work soon. One design from my sister is worth millions. She has more than 50 projects lined up. Once I finish those and take on some more, I can pay Bernard back. As for what he did for Garett, I’ll figure something out…”
She added, “I won’t have anything to do with him in the future. When I’ve saved up enough money, I’ll need you to help me give it to him.”
Hailey stood there, hesitating for a few seconds before asking, “Did you… decide to end things with him completely because you saw Bernard with another woman that day…?”
Eleanor shook her head, then nodded, “When I found out he spent so much money to find me a heart, I wanted to pay him back. But seeing him with another woman that day really disappointed me again…”
Hailey understood that Eleanor was originally wavering after knowing what Bernard had done, but when she saw him with another woman, she was disappointed in him again and finally made up her mind to choose Garett…
She could understand Eleanor, so she didn’t say anything more, just said, “I might not be the best bridesmaid. I’ve been divorced, and it might bring bad luck.”
Eleanor didn’t mind and smiled, “I don’t believe in that. As long as it’s you, it’s perfect.”
Seeing her persistence, Hailey agreed, “When are we going to try on the wedding dresses?”
Eleanor thought for a moment and said, “Tomorrow.”
She would have to start learning about architecture soon and might not have much time, so it was better to get these things done first.
Hailey nodded, “Okay, I’ll go with you tomorrow.”
Eleanor said “okay” and went into the bathroom to apply her face mask.
Hailey watched her back, thought for a while, then opened a drawer, took out two bank cards, and walked into the bathroom to give
them to Eleanor.
“Eleanor, one of these cards is the one you gave me. I secretly put it in your clothes pocket before, but you didn’t have time to change that night and were taken away by Ethan, so I had to take it out and wait for another chance to give it back to you…”
“The other card is my savings from working all these years. Of course, it’s unlikely to be enough to help you pay off Bernard’s debt, but a little help is better than none…
