Chapter 746
She seemed totally uninterested in what he was saying, and this left Cedric feeling a bit down in the dumps, even anxious. He had a sinking feeling that Hailey might never come back to
him
Without thinking, he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close into his embrace
The faint smell of tobacco lingered on her, wafting into his nostrils
This familiar scent stirred a pang of nostalgia within him. He turned his head towards her hair, taking a gentle sniff
“Hailey, you’ve been smoking again. Didn’t you promise me you’d quit? Why are you breaking your promises?”
His voice was filled with reproach, but also a sense of helplessness and fondness towards her
“Cedric you have a girlfriend, is it appropriate for you to hold me like this?”
Her voice rang softly in his ear, causing Cedric to stiffen instantly, but he stubbornly continued to hold her.
“Hailey, you once promised me that you’d accompany me to see the snow When are we going?”
“Cedric, you have a girlfriend, this is not appropriate. Please let mega”
“Hailey. I.”
“Cedric
Hailey’s angry shout made Cedric shut his mouth instantly.
He withdrew his hands from her back and waist
He reverted to his aloof demeanor, took a step back and put some distance between them.
“Ms. Vulpe, you know I’ve been a bit of a nostalgia junkie lately, always trying to hit on my exes. Dont take it to heart.”
Everyone in town knew that Cedric was a bit of a player.
If he showed care, it probably meant he was after a one–night stand
Hailey always remembered this and dared not take his so–called care as genuine
As an ordinary woman, she could not compare with a rich playboy. The smartest thing to do was to cut her losses promptly
Moreover, she was three years older than Cedric As a woman over thirty, she didn’t have time to fool around with a young guy
Hailey looked at Cedric, casually replied “It’s alright,” then went back to the roadside to wait for a cab.
As she stood there, Cedric suddenly had a desire to take her home, lock her up, and never let her out again.
This thought surprised even him
He had always been casual with women from his past, not really caring about them.
But now, why would he have such feelings for Hailey Vulpe?
Cedric hated this feeling of losing control and got into his car with a hint of annoyance.
As his Rolls–Royce passed her, Hailey raised her hand and touched her hair.
A taxi arrived, and Haley quickly snapped out of her thoughts, opened the door, and hopped in.

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...
