Chapter 807
Hailey stood at the bathroom door, gathered her courage and swung it open once Yeager Alis finished his call with the hospital
Yeager Alis turned around and saw Hailey standing there, her face senous
He furrowed his brow, removed his noise–cancelling headphones, and walked towards Hailey
“What’s up. Hailey? What happened?”
As he got closer, he noticed Hailey’s flushed face and swollen lips, it looked like she’d just had a passionate kiss.
Hailey didn’t know how to face Yeager Alis. She lowered her head in an attempt to hide her embarrassment, but Yeager Alis grabbed her by the shoulders
“Hailey, did someone mess with you? Tell me who it was, and I’ll sort them out!”
There was a hint of anger in Yeager Alis’s calm voice. It seemed like he didn’t care what Hailey had done, he just wanted to know if she’d been bullied
This made Hailey feel even more guilty Yeager Alis was such a great guy. How could she ever be good enough for him? She decided it was best not to drag him down.
“Let’s break up”
Hailey took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and said it.
Their relationship was still fresh, barely half a month old. She thought it would be better to end things sooner rather than later.
Hailey didn’t want to prevent Yeager Alis from finding a better match.
But Yeager Alis was taken aback by the sudden break up
He stared at Hailey’s swollen lips, then asked her straight up.
“Hailey, did you get into some trouble, and you’re worried it’ll affect me, so you want to break up
Hailey knew that even if they were to break up, she needed to explain the situation. She didn’t want to leave Yeager Alis in the dark, so she told him everything
“Cedric came to see me earlier… you saw”
Hailey pointed to her swollen lips, bitten by Cedric, and said softly
“Even though we broke up over a year ago, he still won’t leave me alone.”
“Even now that we’re together, he won’t stop bothering me.”
“I don’t want you to get hurt because of me, so let’s break up”
Yeager Alis understood So Cedric had found out about them getting a room and had assumed the worst, wihch lead him to harass Hailey
He had noticed at the matchmaking banquet that Cedric still had feelings for Hailey But he liked Hailey too, so he hadn’t backed down
But now he was being forced to leave Hailey just because of this. Of course, Yeager Alis wouldn’t agree.
Without saying a word, he took Hailey’s wrist and started leading her out of the room….
“Where are you taking me?”
“To meet Cedric and tell him to stop bothering you!”
He wasn’t someone to be pushed around. No one could bully him just because of their family background”
Hailey thought that Yeager Alis would agree to break up after explaining the situation. But instead, he was going to confront Cedric?
She looked at Yeager Alis, who was leading her out.
Seeing his upright figure, she suddenly felt that he was very righteous.
She had always thought of him as a gentle and refined person, unlikely to clash with anyone. But now her perception of him had changed.
He was going to confront Cedric just for her. Even his family could be involved, as Cedric was not a man to be messed with.
‘Don’t go.
Yeager Alis had already reached the door. Hearing her plea, he immediately stopped, turned around and looked at her
“Are you asking me not to confront him because you’re worried about him, or because you’re worried about me?”
“Of course. I’m worried about you”

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...
