A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1173
Hailey slightly lifted her head, leaning in closer to Cedric
“So what’s this ‘action‘ you’re talking about?”
Her sweet scent, mixed with a hint of alcohol, hit Cedric as she drew near, making his heart flutter. He had wanted to get closer
to her, but when Hailey actually leaned in, he got a little scared and turned his head slightly, trying to dodge the close contact.
In Cedric’s arms, Hailey, a bit tipsy from the alcohol, was having trouble recognizing the person in front of her. She grabbed his
arm, squinted her eyes, and slowly moved
closer to him
As she got closer, Cedric didn’t dodge anymore, he stiffened his back, staring intensely at her. As her hand landed on his chest,
his heart skipped a beat, but he stayed cool, watching her quietly
Hailey’s fingers gently gripped Cedric’s white shirt. With a yank, she pulled him closer to her
“Huh? What ‘action‘ are you talking about?”
Her lips, now close to his. There was almost no space between their lips.
Cedric lowered his head, gazing at her red lips. He swallowed nervously.
“If I tell you, would you do it?”
Hailey obediently nodded. She was drunk and would do whatever anyone told her to do, without a hint of caution.
Cedric watched the half–drunk Hailey, hesitated for a moment, then mustered his courage, leaned in, and said, “Then give me a
kiss, as a thank you.”
Hailey seemed to understand his words. She let go of his shirt, reached out to touch his face, and then gently kissed him.
It was just a light peck, but it sent a jolt of electricity coursing through Cedric’s body.
He instinctively clenched his fists, holding Hailey tightly around the waist.

Hailey seemed to find the position a bit uncomfortable and struggled to get up. Cedric watched her, then suddenly lifted her up.
Drunk as she was, Hailey felt dizzy from being lifted like this. She felt terrible, her hand sliding up Cedric’s neck and then
grabbing his hair, pulling hard.
“Cedric, put me down!”
Cedric’s scalp tingled instantly, and all the intentions he had vanished in that moment.
Hailey’s actions confused him. She was actually pulling his hair in this intimate moment.
Cedric was a bit helpless, he lifted his head, trying to dodge Hailey’s hand.
“Hailey, let me go.”
If she pulled any harder, she might take his hair out.
But Hailey didn’t let go, she kept pulling his hair.
“Put me down!”
“If I put you down, how am I supposed to get you home?”
She was so drunk that she couldn’t even walk in a straight line. Was she planning on spending the night in the club again?
Cedric glared at the struggling drunk woman in his arms.
“If you don’t behave, I’ll drop you on the ground!”
Hearing Cedric’s threat to drop her, Hailey immediately stopped moving, lifted her teary eyes, looking at Cedric with an innocent
and aggrieved expression...
Seeing her frightened into submission, Cedric softened, holding the woman in his arms tighter, “Can you please calm down, let
me go, and I’ll take you home, okay?”
