No More Mrs. Nice Wife (Eleanor) novel Chapter 1500

Seeing that her husband was actually listening to her analysis, Miranda continued, "Think about cousin Gina. What does she value the most? The Goodwin family lineage, of course! An heir for Goodwin & Co.! She might adore her granddaughter, but she's still just a girl. What wealthy, elite family doesn't want a grandson?"

Shaun himself had two sons, which was his pride and joy. As a man, he perfectly understood the deep-seated desire for a male heir.

"Go on."

Miranda smiled. "What is Eleanor's status now? A brilliant scientist, a Goodwin & Co. shareholder, young and successful, with high social standing. She spends every day glued to her lab bench. Do you honestly think a woman like that has the time or desire to focus on a family? Do you think she'd be willing to derail her career just to give Ian another child?"

Shaun's eyes lit up. Why hadn't he thought of this? Ian's push for a remarriage was likely tied to the idea of having a son. But if Eleanor outright refused to have more children? Would the Goodwin family still accept her back into the fold?

"Eleanor is a powerful woman now. She won't let our cousin dictate her life anymore. So, my cousin will definitely be the one to stop them from remarrying."

Shaun's mood instantly improved after hearing his wife's reasoning. "You're right. Gina only accepted Eleanor back then because Ian was young, stubborn, and completely smitten with her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have even looked twice at the girl."

"Exactly! There are plenty of women out there who can give him children. With Ian's qualifications, he could have his pick of the best. Why does it have to be Eleanor?" Miranda scoffed. "Eleanor has come into her own now. She has high standards. She doesn't care about the Goodwin family's money or status. She knows that if they remarry, she'll be expected to sacrifice her career, return to the home, and serve her husband and children. Do you really think she'd agree to that?"
