Chapter 963
Hailey stepped out of the dressing room, Cedric was already nowhere in sight
She let out a sigh of relief and headed towards Yeager
Yeager introduced her to some of his friends, and they all got along well
However, when Hailey came out of the restroom, she heard people talking about her to Yeager
“Dr. Yeager, your girlfriend is a nightclub owner. That doesn’t seem like a very respectable job. Do your parents approve?”
“Your info is incomplete. Dr Yeager’s girlfriend isn’t just a nightclub owner. She’s also a divorcee.”
“Wow, I would never have guessed she’s been divorced Does she have any kids?”
“Who knows? Maybe she had a kid, maybe she had an abortion, or maybe she left the kid with her ex. She’s a real looker, so she probably uses her looks to snag wealthy men, not burden herself with a kid”
Heaning these words, Hailey felt uncomfortable.
Normally. Yeager would have stepped in to stop such talk, but today he chose to remain silent
He was still bothered by Cedric grabbing Hailey’s wrist, so he was a bit distracted.
In reality, he wasn’t a petty guy, it was just that Hailey was always resisting his advances.
Many times, he wanted to get closer to Hailey, but she would always find an excuse, tactfully turning him down.
But Hailey didn’t resist Cedric the same way, this contrast made him uncomfortable
His silence only encouraged the others to gossip louder
Hailey glanced at Yeager’s back. Although he didn’t participate in the gossip, his silence was equally disappointing
She hesitated for a few seconds, then mustered up the courage to chime in
“Sure, I’m divorced, childless, and I own a nightclub. I make over a hundred million a year, I don’t need to depend on wealthy men.”
Her words silenced the crowd.
Yeager finally snapped back to reality and got up to stop Hailey from leaving
“Sorry, they don’t know the whole story and said those things”
“They don’t know? Don’t you know either?”
Hailey shook off Yeager’s hand and turned to leave.
Yeager, afraid of losing Hailey, quickly followed
As they left, a golf ball suddenly flew by
The man who was just gossiping about Hailey was hit hard in the chest by the ball.
He clutched his chest, gasping for breath, and looked in the direction the ball came from
Against the light stood Cedric, holding a golf club on his shoulder.
“Sorry, my bad”
His words were an apology, but his actions were clearly provocative.
The man wanted to confront him but was held back by his friends.
“That’s Cedric from the Laurence family. He’s notorious for being a tough guy, don’t mess with him.”
Hearing Cedric’s name, the man could only swallow his pain and bear it silently.
Yeager caught up to Hailey at the dressing room door and started explaining
“Hailey, I’m really sorry I was lost in thought and didn’t realize what they were saying. If I had, I would have stopped them.”
After several rounds of golf, Yeager was indeed distracted
Hailey was a bit angry but still concerned about him. She frowned and asked:
“What were you thinking about?”
Yeager gripped Hailey’s shoulders tightly, staring into her eyes, hesitating before finally speaking
“I was thinking about your and Cedric. It seems like…
He stopped short, unable to continue.
Hailey immediately understood when she saw his reaction.
I’m Gorry I keep my distance from him in the future”
As his girlfriend being caught by her ex would naturally bother anyone, right?
Thinking like this, Hailey understood his feelings and apologized to Yeager. After all, she was the one who had upset him
“Hailey, you don’t have to apologize it’s my fault for not protecting you in front of my friends.”

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...
