Chapter 777
After a few rounds of games, Hailey noticed that Yeager Alis didn’t seem to frequent these kinds of entertainment spots, and he was even bad at playing cards.
She took a longer look at Yeager Alis “You don’t smoke, drink, or play around, do you?”
Yeager Alis had a good hand but didn’t know how to play it. He chuckled and said, “Yeah, I don’t smoke, drink, or mess around”
He was nothing like Cedric Yeager Alis was clean cut and free from any had influence, making him a good boyfriend
But it seemed unfair to him that he became her boyfriend after an argument with Cedric
Yeager Alis saw her staring blankly at him, and he smiled gently and asked, “What are you thinking?”
Hailey shook her head and looked down at her cards. As she did so, her hair fell over her eyes.
Just as she was about to brush it aside, a slender hand reached out and tucked the hair behind her ear
His fingertips brushed her cheek.
Hailey was taken aback. She couldn’t put a finger on her feelings, only that things were moving a bit fast between them.
But it was she who asked Yeager Alis to be her boyfriend at the blind date banquet yesterday. Since they were a couple now, it wasn’t a big deal to progress quickly
Feeling a bit shy, Hailey thanked Yeager Alis.
To which he replied gently, “Hailey, I’m your boyfriend now, there’s no need to thank me.”
Hailey nodded but didn’t dare look up at Yeager Alis. To the people outside, it looked like she was being shy
After getting rejected by Ardyn, Cedric had a few drinks, hoping to drown his sorrows and avoid going to the nightclub.
But he overestimated himself. When he was drunk, all he could think of was Hailey
He missed her so much that he lost control of himself and staggered to the nightclub with a bottle in his hand.
He wanted to ask Hailey why he missed her so much, as if she had put a spell on him.
But what he saw when he arrived at the nightclub was her playing cards with her new boyfriend
Back when Hailey was with him, he’d always be the one to tuck her hair behind her ear..
Now
Cedric leaned weakly against the door, watching Hailey laugh and chat with Yeager Alis.
He would no longer be the one to tuck her hair behind her ear or the one lying beneath her.
Thinking about it, Cedric’s eyes reddened, and he let out a bitter laugh
Just a woman. No big deal. He’d forget her after not seeing her for a while
With one last look at Hailey, Cedric turned around and walked away
After playing with Yeager Alls and his colleagues for a while, Hailey was called out by the manager, saying there was an important guest
She waved at Yeager Alis and headed downstairs, but she saw Cedric leaving the nightclub as she was stepping out of the elevator
He seemed to have had a lot to drink, was staggering, and could barely stand up straight.
Hailey saw Cedric almost get hit by a speeding car, and she rushed out.
Before she could even call out his name, she saw Hertha rushing into the traffic to help Cedric.
Hertha helped him to the side of the road, crying as she threw herself into his arms.
Cedric didn’t hug Hertha back but instead turned to look at Hailey, who was standing in the nightclub lobby.

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...
