A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1181
Cedric listened to Eleanor, and Eleanor listened to Hailey If he could convince Hailey then he would control the narrative. What’s
there to be afraid of?
Once he sorted out his thoughts, Cedric mustered up the courage, hung up the phone and turned around
Just as he turned around, at that split second, Bernard, who had quick reflexes, swiftly opened the car door-
The moment the master bedroom door was opened, Eleanor turned her head. Before she could make out what was coming out,
her eyes were covered by a big hand Then, a cold yet pleasant voice was heard in her ear
“Don’t look, otherwise you’ll go blind”
Eleanor, whose eyes were covered, chuckled
Her husband must be worried about her seeing Cedric in a half–naked state, right?
The thing was if looking once would make her go blind, what about Hailey...
Upon seeing Cedric, Hailey’s face turned beet red
She rushed over, pushing Cedric back into the room while scolding him, “I told you to stay put, why did you come out?!*
Cedric frowned. I’m not some kind of monster. Why can’t I come out? Besides...
Before he could finish, he was shoved back into the room by the surprisingly strong Hailey.
After closing him in, Hailey took hold of the door handle and turned to face Eleanor and Bernard.
“We didn’t do anything last night, you believe us, right?”
Bernard looked at her expressionlessly...
Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Hailey quickly changed the subject. “Eleanor, how about we go sit in the living room?”
Upon hearing this, Eleanor quickly peeked out from between Bernard’s fingers. “Sure-”
Hailey thought Eleanor would say, “we won’t bother you today, we’ll take off,” but instead, she said, ‘sure.”

Helpless, Hailey could only cover her face and walk downstairs. “Follow me...”
Watching her hurried departure, Eleanor couldn’t help but chuckle. “Honey, I’ll talk to Hailey for a bit and then we can leave. You
wait for me in the car...”
Bernard’s cold eyes remained fixed on the master bedroom door. “You go. I’ll wait here for Cedric to come out–”
Hearing this chilling voice, Cedric decided he wouldn’t come out no matter what-
In the living room, Eleanor and Hailey sat on the couch, exchanging glances.
After a moment, Eleanor spoke first. “Did you make up with Cedric?”
Hailey’s continual blush returned as she awkwardly chuckled. “We didn’t make up, I just... accidentally drank too much, and
then...”
Eleanor understood and nodded “How do you feel?”
Misinterpreting Eleanor’s question as asking about the sexual experience, Hailey quickly waved her hands. “It’s nothing special,
just a little uncomfortable after a few times...
Eleanor was speechless for a moment.
Laughing, she shifted in her seat. “I meant, did Cedric say he wanted to marry you?”
With sudden clarity, Hailey’s face turned red again. “He did...”
Seeing her like this, Eleanor couldn’t help but laugh. “Hailey, this is the first time I’ve seen you so shy...”
Of course, Hailey would feel shy.
What was supposed to be a secret one–night stand became public knowledge. How was she supposed to face that?
What Hailey didn’t know was that it wasn’t just a few people who knew, but almost all of their friends Otherwise, she would have
been extremely
embarrassed

Watching shy Hailey, Eleanor felt the gloom of losing Liana slowly dissipating. “Hailey, if Cedric proposes, would you accept it?”
Mentioning this. Hailey hesitated “Actually, for adults, a one–night stand isn’t a big deal. We don’t need to get married because of
it, right?”
Her words clearly carried a hint of rejection Hearing this, Eleanor advised her, “You’ve seen what happened to Liana and Tyler
Howell Those two people who loved each other, both ended up passing away it’s such a tragedy I think, if you have Cedric in
your heart, don’t reject him anymore.”
The current Cedric was much different from before. He had matured, become rational, and took responsibilities. He was devoted
to Hailey, just like Liana said, he was actually really good.
Mentioning Liana and Tyler, the blush on Hailey’s face faded, replaced by regret. “Mr. Laurence and I don’t have any deep
grudges. We won’t end up like Liana and Tyler”
Cedric wasn’t Tyler. He didn’t have that kind of madness, nor would he hurt her. At most, he would just say a few sarcastic words
when he was angry, acting childish
She wasn’t Liana either. She hadn’t experienced the pain of being hurt by someone she loved. The most she felt was sadness
when Cedric tried to provoke her with other women.
In reality, their relationship wasn’t passionate, but plain. That’s why they wouldn’t end up like Liana and Tyler....
“But if you two end up as strangers, that’d be a pity too, right?” After Eleanor finished, she tentatively added, “Of course, if you
don’t have feelings for him, then there wouldn’t be any regrets.”
Unlike Liana, Hailey’s feelings were always obvious. Eleanor could see through her in an instant. She could feel that Cedric was
in Hailey’s heart.
But Hailey was afraid. She didn’t dare to entrust her future life to Cedric. But life is short, why waste so much time hesitating?
