When Hailey saw Eleanor about to lock the suitcase, she quickly went up to stop her but got shoved away.
Hailey sighed helplessly, "Why are you so stubborn?"
After locking the suitcase, Eleanor turned and hugged Hailey's arm.
"Growing up, you've always taken care of me, and I've never done anything for you. Just take this as a token of appreciation from your little sister."
Hailey still disagreed, knowing Eleanor was already struggling. How could she take her money?
However, Eleanor insisted on giving it to her, so Hailey reluctantly accepted the bank card for now.
She planned to put the card back in Eleanor's room on her wedding day.
No matter what, she couldn't take the money Eleanor had worked so hard to earn.
After packing a few things, the two lay in one room, on one bed.
Like they used to do when they were young, they chatted about the future while doing skincare.
Hailey mentioned Eleanor's marriage, claiming breaking up with Bernard was good news. A guy like him, with his high status, would never marry a random girl. She advised Eleanor to find someone else, someone with a matching status and who earned a decent income, so she wouldn't have to worry about money in the future.
She said this house would be their prenuptial property. If one of them ever had a hard time in their marriage, she could move back in.
This house would be their backup and shelter, with it, they had nothing to fear.
Eleanor agreed to everything, not wanting to raise Hailey's suspicions.
Holding Hailey's arm, Eleanor felt so lucky to have such a loving friend. Even if death were to come early for her, she wouldn't have any regrets.
Like when they were younger, she fell asleep peacefully in Hailey's arms.
That night she slept soundest she had in a while, but time flew quickly, and soon it was Hailey's wedding day.
