A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 817

Chapter 817 

Halley and Yeager had just checked out and were about to head back to A City when Cedric came rushing up to them 

His hair was all over the place from the wind, and his tie was all messed up. He looked like a hot mess 

Yeager, assuming that Cedric was up to no good again, stepped in front of Hailey and warned him. 

“If you try anything funny, I won’t hesitate to call the cops” 

But for Cedric, this threat was as effective as a chocolate teapot. 

His dark red eyes were fixed on Hailey, who was shielded by Yeager 

“I overheard what you told Veronica. I take it as a belated confession of your feelings” 

“And since you’ve declared your feelings for me, I have to tell you, Hailey, I have feelings for you too, maybe even love, although I’m not quite sure yet” 

His words were all over the place, and he reeked of booze, rambling like a drunken fool. 

Hailey, as the person involved, was utterly baffled Even if she could understand his words, she found it hard to believe that a playboy like him would say such things 

As an observer, however, Yeager saw right through Cedric’s feelings… 

This young man’s sudden realization of love might have been late, but it was profound. 

Who in this world could resist Cedric’s relentless pursuit? 

Yeager, feeling somewhat worried, stepped in front of Hailey again. 

“Mr. Laurence, Hailey is my girlfriend Your words are out of fine.” 

Cedric shot him a sidelong glance, his eyes full of disdain 

“She’s only your girlfriend, not your wife. I have every right to express my feelings.” 

With that, he pushed past Yeager, walked up to Hailey, grabbed her shoulders and asked, “Would you reconsider if I apologized to Yeager?” 

He suddenly bowed his head, catching Hailey off guard. 

Cedric willing to apologize to Yeager? 

Was this the same arrogant and self–righteous Mr. Laurence? 

While Hailey was still in shock, Cedric let her go and turned to face Yeager 

“I’m sorry 

Short and sweet but still as proud as ever 

The apology didn’t seem sincere. It was more of a compromise to win back the one he wanted to win back. 

After apologizing, he turned his gaze back to Hailey and asked her earnestly. 

“I’ve never humbled myself before anyone, but for you, I’m willing to do so. Will you.. reconsider?” Cedric implored, his voice filled with desperation. However, before Hailey could respond, Yeager swiftly extended his hand and firmly pulled her to his side. 

“Mr. Laurence, let me remind you once again, Hailey is my girlfriend,” Yeager asserted, his grip on Hailey’s hand tight, their fingers intertwined ‘Mr. Laurence, we have a plane to catch. We must depart now “With that, Yeager steered Hailey away, leaving Cedric standing there, his plea unanswered 

As Yeager was about to leave with Harley, Cedric grabbed her other hand. 

Cedric, looking down at Hailey, who was a head shorter than him, was firm. 

“Hailey, I need an answer 

། 

“We don’t have time. Hailey‘ 

Yeager’s reminder cut Harley off again. 

Yeager tried to pull Hailey away, but she turned her head to look at Cedric, who was still gripping her hand. 

“I’m sorry, I once had feelings for you…”
