Chapter 1219
Soon it was just Cedric and Hailey left in the operating room. Cedric was radiating a cold aura, while Hailey was lying on the operating
table.
“Why?” Cedric stood by, not saying anything extra, just asked this one question.
Hailey glanced at Marina standing outside the operating room, furrowed her eyebrows, then turned to Cedric.
“There’s no reason…” She knew Cedric had come, the surgery couldn’t be done anymore, so she got up from the operating table, but Cedric grabbed her wrist. His strength was so great that his fingers dug deeply into her skin. Hailey’s face turned pale from the pain, but she gritted her teeth and didn’t make a sound.
Seeing her silent and not looking at him, Cedric couldn’t help but feel angry, “Hailey, is this your answer to me?” They had agreed before that when they returned home, she would give him an answer. He didn’t expect her answer to be secretly aborting his child.
From the moment Cedric received Marina’s call, his hopeful heart suddenly turned cold. He had put in so much effort, only to be shattered by Hailey’s constant rejection.
won’t
“Hailey, tell me why. After I get the answer, I won’t bother you anymore,” he said. He was tired and had enough, but he wanted to understand why.
Hailey lowered her eyes, slowly looked up at Cedric. There should be a closure for both of them, and the way to do it was to make things clear.
“I don’t believe you and Hertha didn’t have sex,” Hailey said. Hearing this, Cedric’s face fell.
“She explained very clearly that she was scheming. Why don’t you believe it?” Cedric asked.
“Because she gave me a tape recorder later, her so-called explanation was just an excuse because she was driven to despair by your mother,” Hailey replied. After hearing this, Cedric had some doubts, but he also believed his mother would do such a thing, he wouldn’t doubt Hailey’s words.
“Hailey, I’m not sure whether my mother forced her or not. As for the tape recording, I also don’t know. All I know is that I didn’t do it,” he said, raising his hands and grabbing Hailey’s shoulders, looking at her seriously, “I’m telling you, I didn’t do it, do you believe me?”
Hailey shook her head, “No.”
Cedric got the message, he lost because she didn’t trust him.
“I’ve been entangled with you for five years, during these five years, I’ve only cared about you, don’t you see that?” he said, his eyes gradually filling with tears, “Why would you rather believe others than me?”
Hailey looked up, looking into Cedric’s aggrieved eyes.
“I also want to believe you, but Cedric, what sense of security have you given me?” she asked, “After we broke up, you either verbally attacked me or brought other women to humiliate me. In my eyes, all I see are the women around you. You know, I’ve been an orphan since childhood and have suffered betrayal from my husband, I’m scared to experience that again. But you, if it’s not Norene, then it’s Hertha, or other women. How can you expect me to trust you?”
Hailey’s emotional outburst left Cedric stunned. Then he quickly pulled her into his arms.
“I didn’t realize I had fallen in love with you before, so I was stupid enough to use other women to make you angry. I’m sorry, I didn’t give you enough sense of security.”
This time, Hailey didn’t resist him, instead, she leaned weakly against him.
Her voice sounded like she was saying goodbye, she spoke softly and quietly.
“Cedric, I don’t trust you, not just in the past, but now too.”
Similarly, Cedric holding her also felt powerless.
“Even if I promise not to interact with any other woman in the future, you still won’t choose to trust me again?”

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...
