Chapter 1236
Hailey gave a nod of consent, but Cedric insisted on a kiss. Hailey, however, was not up for it.
“There are others here.”
They used to be tight, but now she referred to Eleanor only as “others.” Even the ever-so-amiable Eleanor couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
“Just ignore her.”
Just as Cedric finished, a tall and dashing figure strode in from outside the castle.
Cedric quickly bent down, bringing his face close to Hailey’s. “C’mon, hurry up, give me a kiss.”
Hailey, unaware of Bernard’s arrival, reluctantly gave in and planted a quick kiss on his face.
Cedric finally broke into a grin, hugging Hailey and facing the stone-faced Bernard. “Bernard, you’re back!”
Bernard loved to flaunt his relationship, and now it was his turn to rub it in Bernard’s face.
In response to Cedric’s mockery, Bernard merely glanced at them and then walked towards Eleanor. “From now on, let’s not allow anyone like that to come in.”
Eleanor, taken aback, defended Hailey. “Hailey is good.”
Bernard, now sat on the couch, gave Cedric a glance. “I wasn’t talking about Ms. Vulpe.”
Cedric said, “…So you mean me?”
Bernard raised an eyebrow. “If you think so, then yes.”
Ah well, debating with Bernard was always a losing game, so Cedric shut up.
Cedric, hand in hand with Hailey, headed towards the door. As if remembering something, he turned back to look at the cozy couple.
The sight of a man holding a woman on his lap, even to the seasoned Cedric, was somewhat embarrassing.
Mainly because Bernard was so dominant and tall, and Eleanor was so delicate. It was hard not to imagine with such a strong man holding her.
Cedric, not wanting to see this, covered Hailey’s eyes with his hand.
Hailey, her eyes covered, shot Cedric a glare through his fingers.
She had seen it all. Why was Cedric blocking her view?
Cedric didn’t notice, he nodded at Bernard and Eleanor.
“Don’t forget your gifts for our wedding in three days.”
After informing them, Cedric quickly left the Fiord Roundabout with Hailey.
Eleanor and Bernard watched their retreating figures and shared a smile.
Three days later, Cedric and Hailey’s wedding was held on a massive ship.
The ship, bought at a high price by Cedric, was lavishly and intricately decorated, clearly showing Cedric’s love for Hailey.
Eleanor looked at the decor on the ship and felt relieved. She saw Cedric’s dedication to Hailey.
The wedding was big, everyone was there except for the Laurence family, even Blake was invited by Veronica Laurence…

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...
