Chapter 1234
“Babe, I want to make love to you.” Cedric passionately and eagerly kissed Hailey’s red lips, his big hands wandering restlessly over Hailey’s skin.
“I told you before, I’m pregnant now, so we can’t have sex.” Hailey, although breathless from his passionate kisses and her body somewhat restless, still maintained her sanity.
“Even though I know we can’t have sex, can you still… like before…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Hailey immediately pushed him away.
“If you keep this up, we’re going to sleep in separate rooms.”
Cedric immediately behaved, “No, I don’t want that. Don’t make me sleep in a separate room.”
Controlled by Hailey’s words, Cedric got off her and then held her tightly in his arms.
“Babe, after the baby is born and your body recovers, I want to make love to you non-stop, for days and nights.”
Hailey looked up at him from his arms, “After the baby is born, our one-year agreement will also end. Whether I will stay then depends on my mood.”
Cedric, with his arms around her, stiffened slightly, and then let her go..
Cedric seemed somewhat unhappy, turning his body to the side and staring blankly at the table lamp.
Hailey, seeing his lonely figure, hesitated for a few seconds before moving forward and hugging him from behind.
“I promise you, isn’t that enough?”
Her meaning was that she would stay, but Cedric didn’t understand her implied meaning.
“What good is your promise, you’re still going to leave, aren’t you?”
Hailey thought he was being childish. She didn’t argue with him, just pressed her face against his back, “You have to go to work tomorrow, go to sleep…”
Cedric was silent for a while, then turned to her, looking down at her.
“Hailey Vulpe, I want to give you a grand wedding.”
And then, at the wedding, he would tell the world that he, Cedric, had married her, and she, Hailey, would be his woman for life, with no escape.
Hailey looked at Cedric, and then nodded gently, replying, “Okay, I’ll be waiting.”
There should be no obstacles between them now.
So if he wanted to have a wedding, then let’s have a wedding.
Cedric, having received her consent, once again held Hailey tightly, “Babe, let’s sleep.”
Hailey, smelling his familiar scent, slowly closed her eyes and fell peacefully asleep.
When she woke up the next morning, Hailey went to the dressing room and took out a recorder from her bag.
She handed the recorder to Cedric, saying, “Your mom might not know yet that she was recorded, you better destroy it.”
Since they were already married, they should not leave behind something that could cause misunderstandings. Let Latonia remain ignorant, after all, Hertha was already in jail.
Cedric took the recorder, and looked at Hailey, saying, “Babe, my mom’s not perfect. She’s always so blunt. If you don’t like her, we can avoid seeing her in the future.”
Hailey listened to his words, shaking her head and replying, “I can understand your mother’s feelings. If I were from a wealthy family and my child wanted to marry someone from a lower social status, I would certainly be dissatisfied. After all, it’s easy to go from poverty to wealth, but hard to go from wealth to poverty. Who would want to see their own child suffer? It’s okay that she said those things to me.”
In Hailey’s view, much of what Latonia said was true.

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...
