The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 151: A Secret Divorce Overseas
Eleanor realized Julian had misunderstood her relationship with Dr. Ward.She didn't explain.It wasn't that she wanted him to misunderstand, or that she was trying to make him jealous.It was that being cousins with Lucian was complicated to explain, and it involved a past she was unwilling to talk about.From the moment she'd been forced to change her name, she'd decided she would only ever be Eleanor.In the corridor, Eleanor and Julian looked at each other in silence.After a while, Marcus and Diane went off to a room to rest, and Eleanor was finally able to go in and see Edward.Julian neither stopped her nor went in with her.Eleanor stood alone beside Edward's bed, looking at his weathered, haggard face."Grandpa, I'm so sorry..."Her voice was choked with sobs. Her eyes were red as a rabbit's.Thank goodness the surgery had succeeded...If anything had happened to Edward, she would never have forgiven herself.Eleanor stayed by his bedside until dawn the next day without sleep

Marcus and the others were frantic when Julian's phone rang. The call came from abroad."Really? Okay... I'll send someone to pick you up right away."When he hung up, Julian's tense face finally relaxed."Dr. Ward has agreed to come and do the surgery."Marcus and Diane breathed a sigh of relief."Wonderful! Julian, you really do have a way!"Even as Marcus praised him, Julian frowned slightly.Why had Dr. Ward suddenly changed his mind?Was it really because of him?Julian didn't think so.Eleanor's figure appeared at the end of the corridor, growing clearer with each step."I don't know how someone can be so shameless. She can't help at all, yet she has the nerve to stay here and not leave. What, pretending to be dutiful?"Diane couldn't help making sarcastic remarks whenever she saw Eleanor.Eleanor stayed silent, looking at Julian. She wanted to ask whether Dr. Ward had contacted him, but he spoke first:"This is none of your business. You can leave!"His voice was unusually cold

The first snow of the winter fell on Washington.Flakes drifted down, beautiful in their purest form, yet carrying a poignant chill.Eleanor drove, watching the snowy scenery outside the window, feeling a mix of cold and loneliness.When she reached Cedar Lake Estate, Julian had just arrived too.They got out of their cars at almost the same moment and walked into the house together.Neither spoke. Neither even made eye contact.They were like strangers.Marcus and Diane were both inside.When Marcus saw that Eleanor had come with Julian, his face lit up with a smile."What brings you here? Come in, sit down!"Eleanor could tell he was in a good mood.It was probably the recent surge in Cross Group's stock price and market value.A new maid had been hired at Cedar Lake Estate. She poured a cup of hot cocoa for Julian only.Marcus immediately gave Diane a look.Diane pouted, clearly unwilling, but she still told the maid to pour Eleanor the same hot cocoa.Eleanor realized Diane didn't
The Wife He Never Knew Chapter 148: A Deliberate Scheme
Eleanor slept surprisingly soundly this time.When she woke, Julian wasn't beside her.Soft sounds came from the bathroom. She figured he was washing up.She picked up her phone to check the time, and a news article popped up on its own:Julian Cross fiercely protects his wife!Eleanor paused, then clicked it.The article was about Gordon attacking her yesterday, and Julian arriving with the Cross family bodyguards to the rescue.The photo of her being carried away in his arms took up most of the page.It was all over the headlines and the trending lists on every major platform.The related content turned out to be Cross Group's stock.Eleanor usually wasn't interested in stocks, but she clicked through anyway.Cross Group shares had been soaring since the market opened.All thanks to this trending story.Suddenly Eleanor shivered. Her fingertips gripping the phone went icy.Just then, Julian's phone rang.She got out of bed and picked it up. The caller ID said Marcus Cross.Julian di

Eleanor realized Gordon's first target probably wasn't her.But the moment their eyes met, he spun around and ran straight at her."You think you can mess with me? I'll stab you to death!"Gordon swung the knife at Eleanor like a madman.Eleanor meant to knock the fruit knife out of his hand, but before she could move, she was suddenly tackled to the ground."Careful!"The person who'd tackled her was Caleb.Eleanor knew he meant well, but exposing his back to Gordon only made things more dangerous.Gordon's mind seemed unstable. She had no idea what he might do."I was hoping to squeeze some money out of you, but now my company's gone under, I'm broke, and I owe money to loan sharks..."Gordon muttered to himself like a lunatic.The fruit knife in his hand had originally been bought to deal with the loan sharks."You won't let me have a decent life, huh? Then I'll take you down with me!"As Gordon raised the knife again, Caleb desperately pulled Eleanor behind him.Not far off, Isabe

Julian wasn't especially interested in trending topics, but he tapped this one open anyway.When he finished reading, he closed it and called David."Asleep?""No, Mr. Cross. Is there something you need?"Julian realized the question had been pointless. Even if David had been asleep, he'd have said he wasn't."That uncle of Eleanor's..."On the other end of the line, David looked up, surprised.He hadn't expected Julian to call this late, and not about company business, but about Eleanor."...Yes, Mr. Cross. I'll take care of it right away."For the next two days, Eleanor paid no attention to Gordon's mess, and Gordon didn't come looking for her again.While she hunted for inspiration for the Eldmark project, she waited for a call from Julian or Marcus.The call she finally got was from someone she never expected.Jenny International Bridal Boutique.Eleanor saw Isabelle Frost and Caleb Reed.Isabelle wore a gorgeous crystal-studded wedding gown with a long train, her face lit up with
