Chapter 729
After Hailey left, Bernard shot a frosiy glance at the side staff
“Get her out.”
The staff caught on at once and walked up to Hertha, gesturing for her to leave
“Madam, you’re not welcome here. Please leave at once”
Hertha hadn’t expected the head of the Laurence family to actually kick her out!
She was seething but she kept her temper in check in front of Cedric
There was no way she was going to ruin her good image in Cedric’s eyes
Only by maintaining this good image could she possibly convince Cedric to marry her.
With this thought in mind. Hertha lowered her head, feigning humility, and said to Cedric, Then 111 leave first.”
Cedric didn’t seem to care much and just nodded. “Alright, you go ahead”
Hertha thought that by saying this, he would hold her hand and leave with her. She couldn’t believe he just told her to go ahead.
Hertha gave Cedric, who was still looking in the direction of the pld woman, an incredulous look. Her expression suddenly twisted a bit.
She was fuming inside but she silently turned around and left.
Just wait she thought. She would find a way to make that old woman back down voluntarily
After Hertha left, the wedding banquet was not over yet, the Laurence family and Bernard’s friends were still in the dining area, drinking and chatting
As the bride and groom, they couldn’t leave while the guests were still there. Bernard was clearly a little impatient, but he put up with it.
Seeing many people raising their glasses to toast Bernard, Eleanor said something to him and then took Liana to find Hailey
Hailey was sitting on the lawn, eating snacks. She seemed okay, but Eleanor, who knew her well, understood that she was upset.
She sat down next to Hailey and said, “Hailey, don’t take what Cedric said to heart. He just doesn’t know any better”
Liana also sat down and comforted Hailey with a pat on her shoulder, saying, “Yeah, he’s just like that. Don’t stoop to his level.”
Seeing that her two good friends were worried about her, Hailey felt warm inside and said, “I’m fine. Im just wondering why all the men I meet are like this. Isn’t there a single good one?”
Liana chuckled and said. “Wait until we get back home. I’ll throw a ball, and there will be plenty of great men for you to choose from.”
Hearing this, Hailey cheered up quite a bit, her eyes even lit up. “Can I be the belle of the ball then?”
Liana joked with a laugh, “Do you want to be a princess?”
Without any shyness, Hailey nodded. “Yes, I want to be a princess.”

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...
