Chapter 832
Before Cedric showed up, Hailey had been hanging her head low, not daring to lift it With an ex boyfriend sitting across, and current boyfriend sitting next to her, it was just too damn awkward
She had planned to grit her teeth, finish the meal, and get out of there. But she didn’t expect Yeager to suggest meeting his folks under these circumstances it only added to the awkwardness
She stared at the food on her plate for a few seconds, then shifted her gaze and looked up, pretending to be calm, and asked Yeager
“So, your folks know about us already?”
“Yep, thought they should meet you, so I told them”
After saying this. Yeager looked at Hailey, noticed that she looked a bit off, thought she didn’t want to go, and quickly added,
“Hailey, if you don’t wanna meet them, that’s cool too. I can blow them off”
Yeager’s parents had already expressed their desire to meet her. If Hailey made Yeager turn them down, shed look overly sensitive and immature
After all, they were dating with marriage in mind. If she refused to meet his parents, she’d definitely catch flak for it.
Hailey thought for a bit. They’d only been dating for a month, but since they’d known each other for a while, meeting the parents so soon seemed normal. So, she agreed.
“No need to blow them off. I’ll go”
Then, Cedric suddenly threw down his cutlery, glaring at Hailey.
“Ms. Vulpe and Dr. Yeager sure are so fast. You’re already agreeing to meet the parents. Are you planning on getting hitched right after?”
Hailey wasn’t going to respond to that kind of snark
However, Yeager raised his head, gazing at Cedric with a smirk on his face
“Exactly because we’re getting hitched, we’re meeting the folks. Haven’t you ever introduced your girlfriends to your parents?” Yeager taunted.
“Cedric began to retort, but Yeager interrupted him.
“Oh, I forgot. You’re just messing around, not planning on marrying them, so of course, you wouldn’t introduce them to your folks, Yeager sarcastically remarked.
Liana and Will exchanged uneasy glances, feeling a sense of awkwardness in the air upon hearing Yeager’s snide comment. Meanwhile, Nina, observing the adults squabble, set down her utensils, captivated by the unfolding drama.
Cedric paid no attention to Yeager’s words, his concern lay solely with Hailey. However, as Yeager belittled him, Hailey remained absorbed in her plate, not lifting her head to
engage in the argument.
True lovebirds
“Wish you guys happiness.”
With that, Cedric picked up his coat off the chair back and stood up to leave.
Seeing that he was pissed off, Liana and Will quickly followed.
“Mr. Laurence”
Cedric turned back, looked at the two who followed him, but his gaze inevitably fell on Hailey.
Hailey was sitting at the table, not even turning her head to look at him
He was even more pissed off
“What’s up?”
“We’re really sorry. We’ll treat you to dinner next time.”
Even if he was pissed. Cedric wouldn’t lose his temper at innocent people.

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...
