A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1175

Chapter 1175 

Witnessing her agony, as if she were about to vomit her insides out, Cedric suppressed his own nausea and glanced at Marina. 

“You can get out, I got her” 

Marina glanced back at Cedric and then at Halley, she was a bit worried but still turned to leave 

The second the door was shut, Cedric stripped off his clothes, originally planning to hop in the shower first. But seeing Harley about to keel over into the trash can, he stopped by her side in an instant, holding her up 

His warm skin brushed against her clothes. It made Hailey uncomfortable, so she started trying to push him away but he held her tight and set her in the bathtub 

Warm water surrounded her from all sides, soothing Hailey enough to stop her struggles. 

Cedric grabbed some toiletries and cleaned Hailey’s mouth and cheeks. When he was about to get ready to hop in the shower himself, he found Hailey clutching him, her face pressed against his stomach. 

He bent over looking down at the soaking wet woman in his arms. He stared for a while, then suddenly slipped into the bathtub, pulling Hailey to his chest. 

He smelled the alcohol on her, his chin resting on her shoulder, “Hailey, do you know who I am. 

Having emptied her stomach, Hailey was a bit more sober now She lifted her head slightly, looking at the man holding her. 

His face, etched into her memory, appeared in her blurry vision. She murmured his name involuntarily. “Cedric..” 

She wanted to ask him why he’s here, but he lifted her chin 

Cedric was a bit thrilled, he leaned closer, “Hailey, remember, you started this tonight.” 

Huh? 

Before Hailey could voice her confusion, she was silenced by his passionate kiss, and the hot kiss flooded her senses. 

His hands roamed over her skin, even though there were clothes in between, she could feel the heat of his palms, like a wildfire ready to ignite at the slightest touch. 

Staring at the handsome face before her, Hailey froze. Maybe it was the liquor talking, but she didn’t push him away, instead, she let him lead her 

By the time she was coming to her senses and ready to resist, Cedric had already stripped her. He leaned down, kissing her lips once more, a faint scent of alcohol wafting from their mouths 

“Hailey, it’s been over two years since we last made love. After tonight, I’ll marry you, alright?” 

Marry her.. 

Hailey’s brain lagged, taking a while to register. She just stared blankly at the man proposing to her. 

She didn’t respond, and she didn’t react, like a lost deer, so nervous she didn’t know where to put her hands. 

Seeing her like this, Cedric became even more eager to tease her. 

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it as a yes.” 

He didn’t give Hailey a chance to respond, instead, he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her beneath him. 

The bathtub was big enough for two. Cedric didn’t plan to move, he just laid down, kissing her lips once again.
