A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 791

Chapter 791 

Yeager saw Hailey staring at him blankly and realized he’d acted too abruptly, and quickly apologized 

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” 

He shifted his gaze away from Hailey and awkwardly said, “It’s late, you should head in and get some rest” 

As he turned to leave, Hailey grabbed his arm, “Yeager, give me a goodnight kiss” 

Yeager froze, unable to believe what he just heard, he turned back to look at Hailey 

She was standing on her toes, holding his arm, and kissed his lips. 

Hailey’s lips were soft, when she gently kissed him, Yeager’s eyes sparkled with joy. He didn’t expect her to make the first move 

After a brief touch of their lips, Hailey let him go, “Goodnight.* 

His face blushing. Yeager nodded, “Goodnight” 

She waved at him, “You should get going” 

Usually, Yeager would watch Hailey go inside before he drove away. But this time, he was too elated, obediently got into his car. 

As he started the car, he rolled down the window, lingered on Hailey. Seeing her waving goodbye, he finally drove away. 

After his car was out of sight, Hailey touched her lips. 

She thought, first holding hands, then kissing. If things continue smoothly, she would let her guard down and be with Yeager. 

She thought, maybe a second marriage would bring her warmth. After all, marrying someone who’s been crushing on you for a long time, you’re bound to be cherished 

An old lady at the orphanage once told her, women should marry men who love them, not men they love. That’s how they get spoiled by their husbands. 

She didn’t understand this until she experienced it herself. Marrying someone who loves you is indeed easier 

Unlike Eleanor, she didn’t meet someone like Bernard who loves her deeply, and she hadn’t experienced passionate love 

She was just an ordinary woman, her safe harbor was a marriage that could provide her a peaceful old age. 

Loneliness had plagued Hailey deeply, and despite her apprehensions about the challenges of marriage, she dreaded the prospect of growing old alone, confined to a nursing home, watching the world pass by from a rocking chair. 

Driven by these fears, Hailey made her decision and let her hand drop, entering the villa. However, before she could even reach the iron gate, she was forcefully pushed against the wall from behind. 

Her hands were seized, her body pressed firmly against the wall, and when she lifted her gaze, she was met with Cedric’s bloodshot eyes, filled with intensity and distress. 

“Hailey Vulpe, did you guys kiss?” 

That was the first thing he asked, as if he saw it, but couldn’t believe it, so he ran over to confront her 

Hailey glanced at him, saw his flushed face, smelled the alcohol on him, and knew he was drunk.
