A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1187

Chapter 1187 

The words coming out of Latonia’s mouth were like a sharp knife, stabbing deep into Hailey’s heart. Her face turned pale, as if all the happiness brought by Cedric vanished in a blink 

Suddenly, Hailey could comprehend the pain Chase must have felt. Why would this seemingly kind woman utter such harsh words

Hailey had no parents Latonia must’ve investigated her and was aware of it

Clearly, Latonia was intentionally trying to hurt her 

Hailey, who had plans of marrying Cedric, suddenly had a change of heart

Marriage is not just about two people, it’s about two families

Having grown up without a family, she naturally wanted her future husband to have a warm and harmonious one. But this woman… 

Hailey clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh, as she tried to keep her emotions in check. Mrs. Lawrence, I don’t have parents.. 

Latonia didn’t even feign surprise, she just straight up said, I know, that’s why I think you and Cedric aren’t a good match… 

Her implication was clear a child without parental guidance was not fit to be her daughterinlaw

Had it been any other parent, Hailey would have left. But facing Cedric’s mother, she didn’t. Even though the words hit her where it hurt the mos!, she bore 

  1. it

She did it all for Cedric. She couldn’t deny the love she had for him and if she couldn’t let him go, then she had to fight for him

With this in mind, Hailey unclenched her fists and calmly looked at Latonia, Mrs. Lawrence, it’s not my fault that I don’t have parents. You can’t assume that because of this. Cedric and I are unsuitable for each other” 

Hailey didn’t directly point out Latonia’s intention but just continued the conversation. Latonia, however, took it as Hailey not knowing when to back off, Ms. Vulpe, I don’t want to be rude, but since you don’t get it, I’ll spell it out for you.” 

Hailey could almost guess what Latonia was about to say next, her face growing even paler. But Latonia didn’t give a damn about her feelings and 

continued 

My son is from a prestigious family, while you are an orphan, he graduated from a top university, you only finished high school, he is a computer genius, you have no special talents; he’s never been married, you’re divorced, currently, he’s the president of a branch of the Laurence Group, but you just an owner of a nightclub. Whether it’s background, education, marital status, or social status, the gap between you two is too large. Do you think you are compatible?” 

Compared this way, Hailey was indeed not on par with Cedric. It was only natural for his mother to disapprove of their relationship

Thinking about this, Hailey felt even more unworthy of Cedric. But Cedric said he loved her and wanted to marry her. Could she let him down

Hailey lowered her head, hesitated for a while, then slowly looked up at Latonia, a woman who had never experienced hardship in her life

I can’t choose where I come from. As for my education. Mrs. Lawrence, have you ever thought about how I could focus on studying when I couldn’t even afford food? Back then, I was just trying not to starve. Can anyone bear not eating or drinking for five days straight?” 

At this point, Hailey’s eyes started to well up. Not only did she have to take care of herself, but she also had to look after Eleanor and Garett. As their older sister, she had to set an example

Upon hearing that Hailey once went without food for five days, Latonia was clearly taken aback. She could sense the hardship of an orphan surviving in society, but she chose to turn a blind eye to it because Hailey was about to become her daughterinlaw

Ms. Vulpe, I deeply sympathize with your past, but I’m not the one who caused it.”
