A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 799

Chapter 799 

Chase was leaning against the pillar at the hotel entrance 

Smoking a cig and staring at the bustling B City, his eyes gradually became blurry 

After puffing on a few sticks, he got bored, tossed the butt, hand in pocket, and headed to the top floor of the hotel. 

Upon entering, he spotted Cedric sitting in the lounge area, a glass in hand, hiding in the dim light. 

The ladies around were trying to catch his eye, but he seemed unresponsive, like a man who’d lost his soul……… 

Chase lingered at the door for a moment, then walked over and sat next to him. 

“What’s up? Lost interest in women, or is something bothering you?” 

Cedric, the lazy bum lounging on the couch, shot him a cold glance. 

“If you’ve got nothing to say, Zip it.” 

Chase chuckled lightly, took the drink handed over by the waiter, and took a big gulp. 

“Is this disoriented look of yours because of Hertha?” 

He knew what his bro was thinking, but he just had to push his buttons. 

“If you miss her, I can give her a call. She’d be here in a heartbeat” 

Cedric glanced at Chase, then spoke in a low voice, not bothering to refute him 

Witnessing Cedric in such a state was a first for Chase, surpassing even the time when he was unexpectedly dumped by Hertha during his first relationship. 

Checking his watch, Chase estimated that after a shower and some time to adjust his mood, it would be time to address the matter at hand. If he delayed any further, the woman Cedric couldn’t forget might bid him farewell forever. 

Grabbing a bottle of hard liquor, Chase handed it to Cedric, offering a proposition. “Down this, and I have news for you.” 

“I’m not interested, Cedric replied dismissively, his current state of mind rendering him indifferent to anything If it weren’t for the contractual obligations in B City, he wouldn’t even consider leaving the confines of his home. 

Observing Cedric’s demeanor, Chase placed the glass on the table, lit a cigarette, and began to speak. “It’s about Hailey” 

Finishing his sentence, Chase glanced at Cedric, noticing a subtle change in his handsome face, though he remained relatively unresponsive. 

Chase quirked an eyebrow. “Not even interested in the woman you’ve doted on for three years?” 

Cedric chuckled lightly. “Women mean nothing to me. How could I have doted on her for three years?” 

Chase said leisurely: “I don’t know who it was, but when our bros made fun of her being divorced, you immediately got into a fight.” – 

With that, Chase kicked him lightly, “Hey, I remember that was your first fight, right?” 

He remembered that for a woman, Cedric even got into a fight with his own brothers, and it ended up at the police station. 

But the irony was, Hailey had no idea, she even thought he didn’t want to take her out because she was divorced.
