Chapter 1182
Hailey stared into Eleanor’s bright eyes before slowly releasing her clenched fists, “If he really proposes, I might say yes…”
She was almost sexually assaulted. Normally, that kind of thing would give you nightmares, but last night she didn’t think about it. Instead, she accepted
Cedric
As the saying goes, the body doesn’t lie. Her body responded to Cedric which meant her heart hadn’t forgotten him either…
If she still had feelings for Cedric, then why not give it another try? Why she called it a “try“, Hailey wasn’t quite sure. She just had this nagging feeling that being with Cedric didn’t give her much stability.
She was afraid that once they were married, he might get tired of her and ditch her again. Then what? How was she supposed to face being dumped
twice?
Deep down, Hailey was scared, but Liana’s last wish was for her to give Cedric a chance, wasn’t it?
She thought, Liana wouldn’t lie to her, right?
When Eleanor heard Hailey say she might say yes to Cedric, she cracked a smile, “Well then, looks like I’ll be waiting for the good news.”
They had just made up and definitely needed more time to talk things through, so Eleanor decided to stop being the third wheel.
“Cedric’s too scared to go outside because of Bernard. I’ll take him away, and you guys can have a proper chat…
“I don’t have anything to say to him…”
Although Hailey said this, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile that even she didn’t notice…
When Eleanor saw this, she didn’t call Hailey out on it and went upstairs to find Bernard
As soon as Bernard got in the car, he was a little upset, “Once he’s married, I’m sending him to another country far from us…”
Eleanor smilingly said, “He finally got what he wanted. Let him revel in it for a while. Don’t be such a stickler for rules.
While helping Eleanor fasten her seatbelt, Bernard coldly said, “He wants to use your Eleaber Hall to propose to Hailey.”
When she heard this, Eleanor’s smile faded, “Darling, ship him off to another country.”
Bernard subtly raised his eyebrows, “Darling, he finally got what he wanted. Let him revel in it for a while. Don’t be such a stickler for rules…”
Eleanor clenched her fists, “I’m sleeping with Nina tonight”
Bernard, who had just started the car, suddenly let go of the steering wheel and grabbed Eleanor’s wrist, “Darling, I’ll listen to you. I’ll send him away…”
Eleanor huffed, “It’s too late to regret now.”
Bernard, “Forgive me, darling…”
The two of them joked around.
Eleanor intentionally ignored him, turning to look out the window.
Seeing her ignore him, Bernard gave a slight smile and stretched out his long arm, wrapping it around her waist and pulling her close.
“Darling, Hailey will become your sister–in–law after marrying Cedric. You’ll be her sister–in–law. Are you happy?”
Eleanor tilted her head to look at Bernard.
“Why don’t you consider Cedric as your brother–in–law too?”
Bernard, who was originally planning to change the subject, furrowed his brows when he heard this….
“He’s not worth it”
He’d only call Cedric his brother–in–law over his dead body, and then only if he were reincarnated as the youngest son of the Laurence family.
But Eleanor kept provoking him, “I don’t care. You must consider Cedric as your brother–in-law just like me, or else I won’t sleep with you…”
Bernard’s flawless face took on a sinister smile, “Then we better not let Cedric and Hailey get married…”
The thoughtful look in his eyes made Eleanor swallow hard, “Fine, I’ll compromise. You don’t have to consider him as your brother–in–law…”
Bernard reached pút and gently lifted Eleanor’s chin, repeating her previous words in a teasing tone, “Regretting now? It’s too late.”
Eleanor pretended not to hear and closed her eyes, feigning indifference.

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...
