Chapter 1103
Hailey rolled up to a swanky hotel in the city. She whipped out her phone, double checked the room number, and then pushed open the door.
Inside, it was pitch–black, no lights, no curtains drawn She couldn’t see a thing But the stench of alcohol hit her nose, strong and offensive
The staffer trailing behind her flicked on the lights, explaining “Ms. Vulpe, Mr. Laurence is knocked out inside Our staff couldn’t wake him, we need you to take him home.”
The staffer handed Hailey a bill, “That’ll be fifty grand, would you mind settling the bill for him, Ms. Vulpe?”
Hailey glanced at the bill, not surprised at all. Cedric always had a taste for the finer things, especially good booze. She reached into her bag, handed over a card, and then
headed into the room.
As she stepped in, she saw a classy man sprawled out on the couch. His blazer was draped over his stomach, his white shirt was unbuttoned at the collar revealing a tempting neck and well–defined collarbone
Underneath the light, there was a faint blush on his face, giving his already fair skin a rosy hue.
Cedric was fast asleep, eyes shut. He looked like a resting butterfly
His thick hair was brushed back, revealing his forehead. A few strands had fallen loose, probably from tossing and turning, giving him a disheveled look
Seeing Cedric like this reminded Hailey of why she had fallen for him in the first place.
After watching him for a while, she crouched down and nudged him, “Mr. Laurence, wake up. I’m here to take you home.”
Having downed quite a lot of red wine, he seemed annoyed by the disturbance. He furrowed his brows and turned away, hugging a pillow tightly
He was sleeping so soundly, curled up with his pillow like a little boy.
Hailey knew he was wasted and needed to sleep it off. Unable to wake him, she reluctantly went out, paid some money to the staff to keep the room for Cedric.
She sat next to Cedric, texting Eleanor to ask if Garett had agreed to Sigrid’s proposal. Only when she found out he had, did she breathe a sigh of relief..
After a while, Cedric stirred and groggily opened his eyes
The moment he woke up, his head felt like it was going to explode. He pinched his brows and instinctively pressed his fingers against his forehead.

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...
