A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 977

Chapter 977 

She’d just hung up the phone with Eleanor when Marina walked in with Yeager “Dr. Yeager, have you had your breakfast yet? Do you want me to get some food for you?” 

Yeager politely declined, “Thanks Marina, but I’ve already had my breakfast, so don’t trouble yourself “ 

Marina was always fond of these polite youngsters, unlike that Mr. Laurence who was always haughty and expected Hailey to wait on him hand and foot 

Marina chuckled and led him to the dining room, Hailey, Dr. Yeager came bright and early to see you” 

Hailey was just about to go find Yeager, but seeing him already there, she invited him to sit down 

Marina cleaned up Hailey’s leftover breakfast, then brought them both a cup of coffee 

After Manna had finished her tasks, Hailey turned to Yeager, “I was just about to go look for you, didn’t expect you to beat me to the punch” 

Yeager didn’t ask why Hailey was looking for him, instead he reached out, holding Hailey’s hands tightly, apologizing sincerely 

“Hailey, I’m sorry I was too selfish yesterday I was the one who suggested you visit Mr Laurence, but I couldn’t help but tag along Maybe I was scared you’d go back to him because he’s hurt I was so dumb to try to keep you by my side this way, I didn’t realize my presence would piss off Mr Laurence. I’m really sorry” 

Yeager’s eyes were filled with regret, looking like he’d made a huge mistake, appearing extremely quilty and helpless. 

Hailey shifted her gaze away from Yeager’s face, looking down at the hands that were tightly gripping hers. She felt an urge to pull away, but Yeager’s grip was strong. holding on like a lifeline 

“Hailey let me finish, and then you can decide whether or not you want to let go of my hand,” Yeager said, determination in his voice. 

Puzzled. Hailey looked at him and asked, “What?” 

Yeager took a deep breath, preparing to lay everything out. After I went back to the room yesterday, I said some not–so–nice things to Mr. Laurence” 

Hailey had expected to have to pry the information out of him, so his immediate admission left her taken aback. “Why would you say nasty things to him?” 

Anger slowly began to show on Yeager’s face as he explained further. 

‘Because he doesn’t respect you. You rushed to see him and he knocked over the fruit we brought and asked us to leave. I was really mad then, and I felt it wasn’t fair to you. Why does he let his girlfriend provoke you, but you can’t bring your boyfriend to see him?” 

“I was so mad, that’s why I took the chance when delivering flowers to go back to the room and give him a piece of my mind. I was angry, so of course what I said wasn’t pleasant But I didn’t say anything too out of line, just spoke about our harmonious interactions. But he couldn’t accept it 

“Hailey, Mr. Laurence’s feelings for you aren’t just shallow desires, otherwise he wouldn’t be unable to accept it. He clearly still wants to have you, but I’m your boyfriend now He’s always hovering around you, watching you, what am I supposed to do?”
