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. Heanng 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.

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...
