Chapter 965
Hailey, unable to leave, glared at him in anger and frustration.
“What on earth are you trying to do?”
Cedric grabbed a bottle of water from the side of the car, unscrewed the cap, dampened a tissue, and moved to press it onto Hailey, one hand holding her face.
The other hand, holding the tissue, wiped it across Hailey’s red lips….
“Wipe it off, so there’s no other man’s scent left
“Are you out of your mind?”
Hailey turned her head, refusing to let Cedric wipe, but he held her chin, immobilizing her.
Drunk Cedric, eyes bloodshot, strong handed, held onto her lips, wiping relentlessly.
As if in this way, he could erase the traces left by Yeager, also erase the memories that almost drove him mad….
“Hailey, clean it off, then go back to me, okay?”
At first, Hailey struggled, but upon hearing these words, her heart suddenly ached
She raised her hand and gently touched Cedric’s face, and those tear–filled eyes.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for you to see…”
She thought he had already left, but he was still there.
If Hailey knew he was there, she would still reject Yeager
When her hand touched her cheek, Cedric slightly lifted his head
As if not wanting her to see his lowly emotions, but there was nowhere to hide in this narrow space.
“How many times have you done it behind my back?”
If the number was too many, could he still help her clean up?
Hailey looked into his eyes and shook her head sincerely
“Not many”
Cedric’s tense body suddenly relaxed, then somewhat aggrievedly hugged Hailey, resting his chin on her shoulder.
“Hailey, you’re not lying to me this time, are you?”
“No…”
He held her tightly, his cold cheek pressed against hers.
“Then can we get back together?”
Hailey, now calm, slightly turned her head to look at Cedric, begging like a child for candy
“Cedric, you’re too late. I’ve already agreed to meet Yeager’s parents and promised to marry him.”
Her voice sounded nice, but it also stung his heart.
“Even if I tell you that I love you very much, want to marry you, is it too late?”
He had only said he liked her before, never love.
This was also the first time Hailey felt that he loved her in his heart, but it’s just too late.
“It’s too late”
She gently pushed Cedric away
“I’ve been waiting for you to grow up. Many times, when I met you, I always hoped you could be less rude, because I have feelings too”
His words of being fed up, never wanting to marry her in his lifetime, what does she count for, all hurt Hailey deeply

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...
