A Second Chance at Forever

Chapter 1196
Facing their constantly troubled son, Quinlan started blaming Latonia, “I told you, just let him get married and everything would
be fine. But no, you had to step in. Now look at me, an old man, and I have to look after him!”
Latonia, who was also in the kitchen attempting to cook, glanced at Quinlan helplessly, “Stop yapping and making a mess here.”
“Everyone has their own fate. Let them figure it out. What if your meddling ends up leaving Cedric single?”
“With his qualities, there are plenty of women who would be lining up to marry him. How could he possibly end up single?”
“His qualities?”
Quinlan turned his head to look at Cedric, who was lounging around in the living room. As his father, he couldn’t see any such
qualities in his son.
“Darling.” Quinlan turned back to Latonia, reaching out to gently tug at her sleeve. “Do me a favor, go apologize to Ms. Vulpe”
Please, just get this annoying person out of here. He couldn’t stand it anymore!
Latonia took a glass of water and poured it into a burning hot pot, causing the flames to flare up.
Seeing this, Quinlan quickly grabbed the lid and covered the pot, putting out the fire.
“See, you can’t even cook properly. You don’t even have basic common sense. What if there was an accident in the house? Just
go and apologize.”
Hearing her husband keep pushing her to apologize, Latonia was very displeased, “Why should I apologize to her?!”
Latonia lifted the lid and looked at the food inside, which was now burnt beyond recognition. Suppressing her anger, she dumped
the food out and started cooking again.
She didn’t even want to cook in the first place. But Cedric insisted she cook personally. At her age, this was the first time she had
to cook...
Latonia felt wronged and angry, but there was nothing she could do. This was her son. She could only endure it, and gritting her
teeth, she urged Quinlan

to do the same.
“He’s now the CEO of the Laurence Group’s subsidiary. He has a lot of work to do and can’t always be lazing around at home.
Just hang in there a bit longer.”
Latonia’s thought was just to endure it a little longer. But Cedric brought his work home and was working at home every day...
Obviously, if Latonia did not apologize, he would just stay at home, causing trouble.
Cedric was their son, they couldn’t do anything to him. They had to swallow their anger and take care of him every day.
In the end, Quinlan couldn’t stand it anymore and called Sigrid, hoping she could persuade Cedric, but Sigrid just hung up on
him...
Looking at the hung up phone, Quinlan felt a pang of sadness. Their daughter hadn’t been home since she cut ties with the
family. Even when he went to see her, she would avoid him.
Quinlan felt sad. Their daughter didn’t want to come home, their son made a fuss when he was at home. Their old home was no
longer the same due to Latonia’s meddling.
Quinlan didn’t know when it started, but he was becoming increasingly displeased with Latonia. Many times, when Latonia spoke
to him, Quinlan just ignored her....
As time passed, Latonia started feeling tired. But she still didn’t give in to Cedric’s unreasonable demands.
Sigrid had thought Latonia would learn from her experience and give her brother a chance. But that wasn’t the case.
She didn’t want to go home or talk to Latonia, but she still hoped that things could change for her brother. So, she went to
Bernard for help.
Although Bernard was the head of the Laurence family, he never interfered in family affairs. Asking him to help settle this matter
was a bit too much. Sigrid was a bit hesitant, but Bernard didn’t mind. He agreed, “I’ll go talk to them. You go back first.”
Bernard was aware of the issue between Cedric’s mother and Hailey, as well as the pressure Cedric had been putting on his
parents lately. But he didn’t immediately step in.

He didn’t do this for any other reason. He just wanted Cedric to put more pressure on his parents to prevent them from bullying
his wife’s sister recklessly.
Bernard couldn’t do this, but Cedric could. Naturally, he chose not to interfere. But now that Sigrid had come to him, he had no
choice but to get involved.
