A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 758

Chapter 758
Aidyn watched his rebellious back, heaving a sigh of frustration.
Cedric was always the one doing the dumping, few dared to dump him.
The folks in A City would say that Cedric was even colder and heartless than Bernard.
He never treated any woman with sincerity, switching girlfriends like changing clothes.
In Aidyn’s view, Cedric just hadn’t met a woman who made his heart flutter, hence his frequent girlfriend changes.
With his wealth, leisure, talents, and looks, he had the Laurence family to back him up whenever he messed up and was pampered by his family when he didn’t.
With this kind of background, of course, he could afford to play around.
It’s just that now he’s met a woman who has touched his heart, he’s running into trouble.
But such is life, it’s highs and lows. It’s about time Cedric got a taste of his own medicine in the women department.
As Aidyn mulled over these thoughts, he pulled out a cigarette.
A female doctor passing by him saw this and tapped him on the shoulder.
“Sir, if you want to smoke, please go to the smoking area, don’t smoke here.”
Aidyn turned around and saw the female doctor. She looked gentle and generous, somewhat familiar.
He racked his brain but couldn’t figure it out. However, the doctor recognized him first.
“Mr. Aidyn, what are you doing here?”
The doctor looked surprised for a moment, then remembered that the hospital’s director had organized this party for the purpose of introducing her to him.
She had met Aidyn once before when he had rushed off in the middle of a meal after receiving a phone call.
Jill Naylor figured he had not been interested in her and had planned to find a suitable doctor at this party, but unexpectedly ran into the. star of the party while stopping him from smoking.
Jill noticed Aidyn staring at her and gave him a generous smile, “Do you remember me? I’m Jill Naylor, we’ve met before.”
Jill extended her hand politely, her movements more relaxed than before, showing some personality.
Since he wasn’t interested in her, there was no need to be nervous. It was no big deal to greet an acquaintance.
Aidyn moved his gaze from her face to the hand she extended and shook it politely, “I remember, you’re Dr. Naylor.”
Seeing that he remembered her, Jill smiled slightly, “That’s right, I’m Dr. Naylor, a surgeon.”
Aidyn saw the gentle smile on the girl’s face and was stunned again.
Last time he had been too busy eating because he was hungry and hadn’t really looked at her.
But today under the banquet hall’s lights, he thought she was rather attractive.
Having spent so much time around Mr. Laurence, he had also learned to hide his emotions.
Even now, seeing that the woman was attractive, he didn’t show any reaction and blurted out:
“No wonder your hands are so soft, it must be from handling surgical tools.”
After saying that, he wanted to slap himself. Commenting on the softness of her hands after only two meetings, wasn’t that creepy?
“What I meant was…”
“I understand Jill interrupted Aidyn’s explanation: “It’s okay.”
After these words, Aidyn fell silent.
Before the awkward atmosphere could spread, Jill quickly said, “I need to go to the restroom.*
As she walked around Aidyn towards the exit of the banquet hall, Aidyn suddenly called out to her, “Um… Dr. Naylor*
Jill stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him, “Mr. Aidyn, what is it?”
Aidyn scratched his head, mustering up the courage to ask, “Could you leave your…”
“What are you doing here?!”
Just as Aidyn was about to ask Dr. Naylor for her contact information, a voice came from behind him.

Chapter 758
Aidyn was about to turn around when he was forcefully pushed against the wall, and immediately after, a figure emerged.
The figure quickly took out a pair of handcuffs and with a ‘click’, cuffed Aidyn’s hands together-
“Ha ha ha ha, I finally got you cuffed…”
Recognizing the familiar laughter, Aidyn quickly shifted his gaze from the handcuffs to the one who was laughing.
Seeing Pearce Hooper’s face under the black hat, Aidyn’s face instantly darkened.
“Pearce, what the hell are you doing?!”
Pearce looked smug as he raised an eyebrow at Aidyn, “You scared me last time, now it’s my turn to get back at you!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Pearce reached out and shoved Aidyn against the wall, then raised his other hand above Aidyn’s head.
Pearce, being shorter than Aidyn, had to stand on his tiptoes to look him in the eye. This position was so weird it defied description.
Pearce even pointed a finger at Jill, “Humph, this is my man, you can’t have him~”
