Chapter 976
The next day, Eleanor woke up, saw Nina off, and immediately dialed Hailey
“Hailey, have you visited Mr. Laurence yet?”
I’ve been ”

Hailey who was having her breakfast, replied absent–mindedly
Hearing Hailey’s indifferent reply Eleanor could tell that she didn’t seem to care much about Cedric, which baffled her
“Have you sorted out your issues with him?”
Sigrid had already filled Bernard in on Mr. Laurence’s car accident
Therefore, Eleanor was aware that Cedric had the accident because he was upset after witnessing Hailey kissing Yeager
She thought that if there was a conflict between the two, and the man got hurt, a visit from the woman should help ease the tension.
“His girlfriend was there, so there’s nothing for me to sort out *
Eleanor was taken aback when she heard that his girlfriend was present.
“His girlfriend is_7”
If Cedric had a girlfriend, he would usually show her off, but she hadn’t seen any woman around him recently
“It’s the same one as before, Hertha”
Upon hearing Hertha’s name, Eleanor finally understood
“If I knew this, I wouldn’t have called you.”
Seeing Cedric’s ex–girlfriend in such a situation must have been uncomfortable for Hailey
“Don’t worry, it’s not your fault”
Eleanor didn’t know that Cedric’s girlfriend was there, which had nothing to do with her.
“So, did your conflict with him get worse because of Hertha?”
“It’s not just about Hertha_”
“Huh?”
Eleanor was a bit confused Besides Hertha, was there someone else?
After pondering for a moment, Hailey decided to tell Eleanor the whole story.
After a period of silence, Eleanor finally understood the situation and her eyebrows furrowed slightly
She believed that Cedric’s accident indicated that he still had feelings for Hailey.
And the fact that Hailey was so worried about Cedric’s accident showed that she still cared for him.
However, Hailey’s current boyfriend was Yeager, and saying too much would only put Hailey in a difficult position.
After a mental struggle, Eleanor decided to speak her mind
“Hailey even though Yeager is your boyfriend, I still want to say that Cedric isn’t a brute.”
Eleanor could never forget that one stormy night five years ago when she was soaked to the bone and couldn’t find a ride home. Cedric stopped and let her in his car. Seeing her shivering, he even turned up the heat and gave her an umbrella. He was polite and gentlemanly throughout
Maybe Cedric’s personality had changed a bit after he and Hailey broke up, but he was essentially a gentleman. Even if he was a player, he wasn’t a man without class. There must be some misunderstanding
“Last time at Liana’s villa, a few words from Yeager pissed off Cedric. This time at the hospital, in your absence, Yeager might have said something inappropriate. It doesn’t make sense that he would get so angry that he would resort to violence just because he was invited to a wedding
Eleanor’s words gradually calmed Harley’s turbulent emotions
She thought carefully and realized the truth in Eleanor’s words.

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...
