Chapter 806
The bodyguard couldn’t convince him, so he pulled out a lighter, flicked it on, and held the flame up to the cigarette that Cedric had stuck in his mouth. “Mr. Laurence, don’t inhale on your first drag you’ll cough”
“Cough, cough, cough.”
Before the bodyguard could finish his sentence, Cedric had already taken a draw, inhaling deeply, and started coughing non–stop
“Mr. Laurence, are you okay?”
The bodyguard, scared out of his wits, started patting Cedric’s back in a frenzy
Not wanting to hurt him. Cedric ended up scratching his back lightly like tickling him, but it didn’t help at all.
Cedric adjusted his breath on his own, then picked up the cigarette again and put it back in his mouth.
If Hailey can smoke, why can’t he?
Before he could even clamp down on the cigarette, a fair hand reached over and snatched it out of his mouth. “And you still want to smoke like this?”
Seeing Chase, dressed in a white suit and behaving elegantly, Cedric’s face darkened even more.
“Give it back!”
Chase ignored him, lifted the cigarette, and threw it into a trash can not far away in an orc
“Keep this up and don’t blame me for calling Veronica Laurence to come and get you”
If Bernard, the CEO of the Laurence Group, is not around, getting Veronica would definitely restrain an out–of–control Cedric Thinking of Veronica’s stern and selfless face, Cedric didn’t ask for the cigarette again, but the anger on his face didn’t subside. Chase saw that he was pretty pissed off, reached out and gently patted his shoulder
“Cedric, I’m doing this for your own good. If you like her, cherish her, cut her some slack, don’t make a fuss with her”
“If you argue with her, compete with her, you’ll end up like me, crying and begging her, but she won’t even give you a glance”
In Chase’s bright, starry eyes, there was a deep melancholy
As if regretting his past self, as if feeling pain for his past sentimentalism.
In the end, he just tucked away those heart wrenching memories, and once again patted Cedric’s shoulder hard
“Take my advice, don’t wait until you’ve lost her to regret it, by then it’ll be too late”
I’m not like you”
Chase had been trying to persuade him for a while, and all he got back was I’m not like you
The helpless man slightly raised his eyebrows, “Alright, you’re Cedric, the best, nobody is like you.”
Chase thought, if Cedric hadn’t deeply loved someone, he wouldn’t understand this, he would have to experience it for himself.
Let him experience it then, just as long as he doesn’t come crying to him afterward
Chase considered himself the worst when it came to emotions and felt unqualified to mentor Cedric. Unable to convince him, he decided not to say much more and instead issued a warning

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...
