A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1053

Chapter 1053 

Hailey didn’t wait for Yeager’s response, pressing on with her questions 

“So, the next question. You let your mom pressure me because you think I’m some powerless orphan who’s an easy target?” 

Yeager didn’t see it that way. In his mind his mom was still his mom, and no matter how much he liked a girl, she couldn’t compare with his own mother 

“You heard it on the recording. I already scolded her for it.” 

“Indeed.” 

Hailey smiled 

“You always explain things after they happen. Like last time, when your friend was badmouthing me behind my back, but you said you were distracted and didn’t hear” 

Yeager frowned, wanting to explain, but Hailey cut him off. 

“The first time I met your parents, you let your mother pressure me. That shows that in your mind, your perception of me is the same as your mother’s.” 

Like Janice, thinking she was impure, without a background, uneducated, divorced, not good enough for him. 

“I told you about these issues before we got together. You said you didn’t mind, why the contradiction?” 

Her disappointment was written all over her face, making Yeager feel a twinge of pain. 

“Hailey, I really don’t mind. It’s just because she’s my mom…” 

Realizing his mistake. Yeager dropped his gaze. 

“I was wrong I’m sorry” 

Finally, he apologized, but Hailey wasn’t going to forgive him like before. 

“Actually, I don’t care what you think I’m asking you this to tell you…” 

Taking a deep breath, Hailey paused, her eyes welling up with tears 

“No one has ever loved me, nobody, not a single person. When you came along and told me that you had a crush on me in high school, I was happy, touched, because someone in this world actually liked me I cherish this late–found affection, so even when I found out about your little schemes, I put up with them. I always believed that nobody is perfect, that even you would have some flaws. But that’s okay, as long as you truly like me. I kept consoling myself, but I realized you didn’t like me that much…” 

Hailey unlocked her phone, brought up a photo of Bernice and a child, and laid it in front of Yeager. 

“When you confessed your feelings to me, you said that you had a crush on me since high school and never liked anyone else. You’ve been busy studying medicine and didn’t have time for a girlfriend. You portrayed yourself as pure and innocent, but can you tell me, what’s up with this mother named Bernice?” 

When Yeager saw the picture of him and Bernice in an affectionate embrace, a flicker of uncertainty crossed his eyes. He was about to explain when a photo of Bernice holding a child auto–played. His pupils dilated in shock. 

“What’s the deal with this kid?” 

Looking at his expression, Hailey couldn’t tell if he was genuinely clueless or just pretending 

“This is your child” 

“That’s impossible!” 

Yeager suddenly became agitated, snatching the phone from Hailey’s hand to scrutinize the photos. 

It wasn’t until he saw the text confirming the child was his that he came to a realization. 

“There’s no way I told her to abort the child. How could she give birth to the child without letting me know? That’s impossible” 

His muttering sounded like he was mocking himself to Hailey
