Chapter 1080
Hailey actually still had feelings for Cedric
But she just lost trust in men and thought she wasn’t cut out to talk about marriage anymore.
Without waiting for Liana to respond, Hailey drew the curtains and saw Cedric standing still outside.
The light from the window made his eyes look a bit dim.
Facing Cedric like this. Hailey couldn’t bear to look him in the eyes, she quickly shifted her gaze and looked down at her feet.
Cedric stood there for a while, then asked, “Have you packed all your stuff yet?”
Hailey nodded and went to pick up the suitcase at her side, only to find that Cedric had beaten her to it, taking it from her in a gentlemanly manner, “Let’s go, I’ll take you home.”
He didn’t explain anything about Judith, nor did he ask what Hailey meant by what she said, he just carried the suitcase and left the ward.
Watching his handsome back, Hailey felt guilty. Cedric would rather endure it himself than lose his temper at her.
He seemed to have matured a lot.
Liana, on the other hand, defended Cedric, “Hailey, youthful recklessness doesn’t mean he can’t change for the better.”
Hailey understood what Liana meant, but she turned her head and smiled at Liana, “Enough about him, what about you? Now that Mr. Webb’s reputation has been cleared, can you guys get back together?”
Liana’s eyes gradually dropped, “If I can win the lawsuit against Will and Tyler Howell, I’ll definitely be with him for the rest of my life.”
She and Sigrid were very similar, they both knew exactly what they wanted and what they had to do, and once they made up their minds, they never looked back.
But for now, the outcome of the lawsuit was still uncertain, and she chose not to be with Will temporarily to protect him.
Hailey asked, “Is the trial taking place in B City? Eleanor wants me to accompany her to see Garett in B City. Why don’t you come with us too? That way, we can take care of each other.”
Liana smiled and declined, “No need. I’ll fly to B City the day before the trial so that Eleanor can focus on dealing with Mr. Falsey’s case without any distractions”
Knowing that Liana didn’t like to trouble others, Hailey nodded, “Alright, if you need anything, just give me a call. I’ll definitely help if I can.”
After bidding farewell to Liana, Hailey and Cedric got into the car together. Eleanor originally wanted to pick her up, but Hailey felt it was unnecessary, so it was just the two of them in the car, which made Hailey feel a bit uneasy
She wanted to open the car window for some fresh air, but Cedric closed the window and turned on the air conditioning. In that moment when the air conditioning started, Hailey felt a little uncomfortable as she glanced at Cedric, who was focused on driving. Despite him taking care of her during this time, most of their time was spent in silence. It felt awkward now, yet they had to be together.
Cedric wanted to ask Hailey if she still had feelings for him, but considering what she had just gone through, he held back and decided to give her more
time
Eleanor planned to visit Garett, and coincidentally, George and Pearce Hooper also intended to visit Nina. So she entrusted Nina to the two of them. George was a bit older and more stable, making Eleanor trust him quite a bit. As for Pearce..
Eleanor glanced at Pearce, who was lounging on the sofa, swinging his legs and letting Nina pick up darts for him, “Mr. Hooper, if my husband sees you treating his sofa like this, hell definitely come straight back from the office to settle the score with you”
Pearce didn’t care at all and took a bite of the banana in his hand, “Once you guys leave, I’m the master of this house, I can treat it however I want.”
Eleanor glared at him, “If you weren’t my teacher, I would never let you into my home.”
Pearce gave a smug smile.
George, who was helping Nina pick up darts, chimed in, “Ms. Shultz, I can handle the child by myself, have your bodyguard kick him out!
Just as Eleanor was about to respond, she saw Bernard walk in from outside with steady steps.
She quickly turned around, wanting to remind Pearce to sit properly, only to find Pearce, who was shoeless just now, had suddenly put on a neat suit and straightened up his body.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
Loved the story, many times caught in so much actually crying with the situation. Wish had more chapters to a better ending....
It's weird that the story went from narrative to slang use. Good story so far though...
