Chapter 818 

Veronica observed the entire ordeal unfold from the sidelines. Once Yeager and Hailey departed, she approached Cedric and gently patted him on the back 

“Cedric, you need to come to terms with reality Ms. Vulpe isn’t interested in you, she’s already involved with someone else. We can’t go around meddling in other people’s relationships, Veronica advised, hoping to instill some sense of reason. 

Expecting Cedric to argue or protest Veronica was surprised when he simply nodded in acquiescence 

“Alright,” Cedric replied his attempt to maintain composure indicating a sense of injustice he was experiencing 

Veronica couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy for Cedric, sensing that he believed himself to be on the receiving end of an unfair situation. 

She couldn’t put her feelings into words, but thinking about the once cheerful Cedric, now… 

She glanced at him and noticed him staring at the ground, trying hard to hide his emotions 

“Don’t sweat it, life’s a long road, you’ll meet someone who’s right for you eventually” 

“Really?” 

Cedric looked up, his face returning to its usual expression 

“I did give it my all, didn’t 17” 

Veronica nodded, he really did try 

She remembers when Cedric was a kid, small and skinny, always being bullied by his classmates. 

He would always fight back, leaving those classmates black and blue 

The school principal had to call in the parents, have the kids apologize to each other, and that was that. 

But after the classmate apologized, he refused to apologize, even saying he’d only apologize over his dead body. 

And now, that kind of guy was bowing his head to his love rival for the sake of wooing Ms Vulpe 

That was truly rare 

“If she doesn’t like me, then it is what it is, right?” 

Veronica didn’t know how to respond 

“If she doesn’t like me, then I don’t like her” 

Veronica looked surprised at Cedric who was talking to himself 

Whenever he faced problems, he always knew how to comfort himself, like just now when he rushed to apologize, all on his own accord. 

His personality was completely different from Bernard’s. Bernard was good at controlling his emotions, Cedric was driven by them. 

Those driven by emotions are bound to face setbacks 

And Mr. Laurence had just experienced a setback in his love life 

Veronica knew the more upset he was, the more nonchalant he would appear. She pondered a bit, then asked him: 

“Cedric, do you remember when you were infatuated with Hertha? You had even mentioned wanting to marry her. If you still have that desire, I can help persuade your family How does that sound? Veronica offered, attempting to find a potential solution for Cedric’s longing 

Cedric had met Hertha during his youth, but Veronica held a dislike for the girl. In fact, Hertha had set her sights on Bernard, attempting to get close to him and even planning to drug him. The entire family was aware of this, but they chose to withhold the information from Cedric in order to preserve his favorable impression of his first 

love 

Later on, Hertha made a demand, insisting that Cedric marry her. Unfortunately, being a young man with little understanding of the gravity of marriage, Cedric agreed and subsequently found himself entangled in a web of complications. 

Bernard was the first to object, saying that Cedric was only seventeen, not even an adult, how could he possibly get married 

Cedric’s parents were also strongly opposed, they warned Cedric, if he dared to marry Hertha, they would break his legs. 

The young couple was undoubtedly forced to break up by their families 

At the time, Cedric didn’t have much of an emotional reaction, at least not like he is now constantly pestering Ms. Vulpe. 

Veronica thought, Cedric had so many girlfriends, but Hertha was the only one he ever mentioned marrying 

Getting married early might calm him down, so he wouldn’t bother Ms. Vulpe every day. 

Those who are marned tend to settle down a bit.
