A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 755

Chapter 755
Hailey hadn’t danced in a while and accidentally stepped on Yeager’s foot a few times, the last one pretty hard, causing Yeager to wince in pain.
“I’m really sorry, let’s stop dancing. I’ll take you to rest over there.”
Yeager told her it was fine, but Hailey didn’t want to dance anymore, worried her heels might hurt Yeager’s foot if she stepped on him again.
Supporting Yeager, Hailey started to leave the dance floor. But before they could reach the sofa, they were blocked by a tall man.
Cedric, dressed in a tailored suit, was strikingly handsome and debonair with an aura of deep nobility about him.
His eyes coldly stared at Hailey’s hand on Yeager’s arm.
“Ms. Vulpe, are you on a blind date here?”
Hailey didn’t want to engage with him. She tried to walk around him with Yeager, but Cedric blocked their way.
“Dr. Yeager, did you know Ms. Vulpe and I dated for three years?”
Cedric was taller than both of them. Looking down at Yeager who was wearing silver rimmed glasses.
Yeager, having just returned from abroad, was clueless about a lot of things. But he knew the man before him.
He was the hospital’s big boss Bernard’s cousin, even his name Cedric was famous at home and abroad.
Compared to Yeager, Cedric was clearly more powerful…
But for some reason, Yeager wanted to refute Cedric when he saw the disdain and superiority in his eyes.
Holding Hailey’s hand, he stood tall, chin up, facing the young but arrogant Cedric.
“She was with you for three years, now she’s not. There’s no need for you to tell me this.”
“Really?”
Cedric took a step forward, looming over Yeager with his height.
“Dr. Yeager, are you okay with picking up my leftovers?”
Cedric’s words hurt Hailey.
Hailey thought she wouldn’t feel this hurt anymore, but his words still stung.
“Cedric, were you just playing with me during those three years we were together?”
“Or were we in a relationship?”
Cedric looked at her a bit angrily.
Hailey felt a chill run down her spine, her hands and feet going cold.
They were together for three years, and he was very good to her.
He would prevent her from smoking, helped her quit smoking; when she was on her period, he would take care of her, when she had a headache from staying up late, he would hold her, gently rubbing her neck to ease her pain; when she was unhappy, he would buy gifts to cheer her up, flowers, food, drinks, and would pick her up and drop her off every day…
In Cedric’s view, were these not considered being in a relationship, but just a game?
Hailey’s face turned serious, her eyes full of disappointment looking at Cedric,
“I understand.” She tried to leave with Yeager, but Yeager tightly grabbed her hand.
“Cedric.” Yeager held Hailey’s hand tightly, looking up at Cedric, “Since you insist on using pick up’ to insult Ms. Vulpe, then I will unhesitatingly accept her.”
The warmth from his hand felt somewhat unfamiliar to Hailey, but she didn’t shake it off, seemingly out of some kind of spite, so she didn’t push him away.
Cedric looked at their tightly clasped hands, his face unhappy, his eyes seemingly flickering with rage.
He stared at Hailey, after a long silence, he gritted his teeth and asked:
“Since you didn’t push him away, are you planning to accept him?”
