Chapter 1180
When Bernard saw Cedric’s incoming call, he emotionlessly reached out and hil the end call button.
Cedric, not willing to be dismissed so easily, dialed again
Bernard’s face darkened before he slid to answer the call
Before Cedric could even open his mouth, an angry roar came through the phone, “Get lost-”
The harsh words silenced Cedric’s urge to speak
After a moment of thought, he picked up his phone and sent Bernard a message
[I’m at Hailey’s place right now, and I don’t have any clothes. Can you drop some off for me?]
The message was a coded way of saying their night of passion had left him without clothes.
Bernard glanced at the screen and couldn’t help but clench his fist
Cedric waited for a few minutes, but there was no response.
He picked up his phone again, opened the family group chat, and tagged Bernard
[Bernard, check out the message I sent you]
Bernard was speechless.
When no one responded, Cedric tagged everyone.
Guys, can someone reach out to Bernard for me, I need to talk to him urgently]
Taylor Laurence asked worriedly. [What’s the emergency?]
As soon as Cedric saw the reply, he immediately responded, I’m getting married]
Taylor was momentarily silent
So he was getting married, and what did that have to do with Bernard?
Taylor couldn’t figure it out, but Bernard knew Cedric just wanted to show off.
Cedric, who was eagerly waiting for his brothers‘ shocking faces, suddenly saw a message from Bernard, [Block Cedric]
Veronica Laurence, who seemed to understand Bernard’s annoyance, wisely removed Cedric from the group for the time being
Cedric, who was kicked out of the group, didn’t care. He took a selfie and opened his social media, sending out a message and tagging his brothers.
[Guys, I’m getting married. Any of you have good proposal ideas? Share them with mel
Without Cedric in the group, Kendrick Laurence sent a message. [What’s up with Cedric?]
The rest of the group started discussing
Taylor asked, [is Cedric losing it“]
Matthew Laurence, who was in Africa, replied, [He must be nuts. Who’d marry him?]
Even Nigel Laurence, the sixth son of the Laurence family who was usually very low–key, chimed in, [If he can get married, I’ll cut off my head and give it to him as a cushion‘]
Kendrick said, [What if he really is getting married?]
Nigel, [In my world, there are no what–ifs]
Kendrick was momentarily speechless.
Nigel rarely showed up or spoke, but when he did, he easily caused a round of laughter.
As Bernard was scrolling through these messages, Cedric’s call came in again….
This time, he didn’t hang up, but answered calmly, “if you don’t have anything serious to say, I’m gonna break your legs.”
Cedric was undeterred by Bernard’s threat and continued to brag, “Bernard, I’m getting married”
Bernard replied coldly, “And?”
Cedric kicked the window with his toes, “Can I borrow your Eleaber Hall?“.
Bernard’s eyes turned cold. “If you want to die, just say it
Cedric thought for a moment and decided it wasn’t appropriate, “Never mind, your proposal venue is a bit shabby. I need to find the best place for Hailey, one she’ll never forget”
So
His real intention wasn’t to borrow a venue, he wanted to show Bernard that he was going to propose and that his proposal was going to be more spectacular?
Bernard couldn’t help but roll his eyes humorously, “Did Hailey say yes?”
His question made the somewhat uncertain Cedric start beating around the bush, “You could say she did”

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...
