A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 161

At this point, he stared at Allysha with a regretful and resentful look and said, "She hid such a big thing as pregnancy from our family. If I hadn't bumped into her on the street, she might have kept it from us forever..."

Austin then turned to Hailey and said, "After taking her back home, our house was a mess, full of creditors coming for their money. Before I had a chance to pay them back, my sister voluntarily helped our family to pay off the loans, and that's when I found out that my brother-in-law made a lot of money in a distant country. After he knew about her pregnancy, he sent her living expenses every month on time, then I felt relieved.

But my parents felt that they were pregnant before they got married and scolded Allysha a few times. She didn't accept it and started arguing with them. Maybe it was because she was too emotional, which led to the baby's movement. It's not serious. The doctor suggested that she should be hospitalized for observation, and that's when I arranged it."

After explaining, Austin took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Hailey, "I was going to use this $200,000 to pay off our debts first. Since my sister has helped, I'll give this money to you to keep."

Hearing his explanation and seeing the bank card, Hailey felt totally confused.

She looked at Austin and Eleanor, as if asking what was going on.

Austin's words were well-explained without any flaws.

If she hadn't just witnessed the two of them being intimate like lovers at the entrance of the gynecology department, Eleanor might have believed Austin's words as well.

She had some doubts about Austin's character when she found out that he let Hailey bear all the mortgage and daily expenses.

Now that she has caught him red-handed, and he can still calmly defend himself, it shows that he's very cunning.

Of course, she wouldn't say these things in front of them, otherwise, it would alert the enemy.

Pretending not to know, she smiled at Hailey, "Hailey, it seems that my brother-in-law is just worried about the money you earned with such hard work, that's why he gave it to you to keep."
