Chapter 1201
In the end, Latonia couldn’t resist Bernard’s pressure and hopped on the private jet, with her son tagging along.
Before they landed in M Country, Cedric kept reminding her to watch her tongue when they meet Hailey, or he wouldn’t hesitate to keep making their lives hell
Cedric’s threats reminded Latonia of Bernard, but he didn’t have Bernard’s guts.
Latonia thought to herself, how great it would be if Bernard was her son. His intimidation alone was enough to force her onto the plane with just a few words.
And her son Cedric, he only threatened to take action against his own family, but in reality, he never followed through with anything menacing.
Watching Cedric keep jabbering, Latonia yelled at him impatiently. “Shut up!”
Cedric stopped talking, accepted the coffee from the flight attendant and took a sip. “Mom, if you help me get Hailey back, I’ll respect you more.”
This was something Bernard had told him to say before he left. He wasn’t sure why Bernard wanted him to say it.
Hearing such a “touching” statement for Hailey, Latonia was quite taken aback, “You really like Hailey that much?”
Cedric corrected her, cupping his coffee, “Not like, love. I love her a lot.”
In Latonia’s memory, Cedric had always been irresponsible. This was the first time she saw him so serious and sincere.
Thinking about Bernard’s “dead body hypothesis“, Latonia unconsciously asked, “What if she’s gone?”
Cedric turned his head, looking at Latonia, and said seriously, “If she’s gone, I might want to end my life. Like the car accident last time, I thought if Hailey doesn’t want me. I might as well be dead.”
Latonia’s heart trembled, but she scolded him, “You’d actually think about dying for a woman? You’re pathetic!”
Cedric didn’t mind, he just smiled, “It’s genetic. It’s not my fault!”
His father was the same, willing to give everything for his wife. That’s the good genes of Laurence family.
Thinking about Quinlan Laurence being the same, Latonia felt a little relieved, “All of you Laurences are crazy for love, none of you are normal”
Cedric immediately countered her, “That’s clearly a good trait.”
Cedric chuckled, “Anyway, as long as you help me win Hailey back, I’ll treat you well.”
Bernard was right, having your son be grateful is way better than having him resent you.

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...
