Chapter 984
Bernard was a bit out of his element, but remembering Eleanor’s advice, he gently spoke up
“What if you just let them date for a while, see how I goes”
If it wasn’t Bernard on the other side. Cedric would have exploded by now
“You’re terrible at comforting so just sit quietly with me for a bit”
Bernard lowered his head, thinking seemingly unable to find any soothing words, so he shut up.
After a while, he couldn’t help but speak again
“If they date for a bit and realize they’re not a good fit, they’ll break up naturally. Then you can try to patch things up with Ms. Vulpe again, it’ll be much more effective than bothering her now”
For the love of God please stop talking.”
Though Bernard’s words weren’t exactly comforting, they were the truth
After understanding the whole story, he believed that sooner or later, Yeager would screw up in an unforgivable way.
After all, a leopard cant change its spots, Cedric didn’t need to be so anxious.
Bernard glanced at the gummy candies on the bedside table, took one out, and put it in Cedric’s hand.
“The tighter you try to hold onto something, the more it ships away. Just let go, and it might just come back on its own”
Cedric’s head hung low as he examined the orange gummy candy a bitter smile forming on his lips
“Ever since we broke up. I’ve been the one begging for reconciliation, and not once has it worked. What does that tell you?” he sighed, his grip tightening around the candy.
Gradually. Cedric’s emotions seemed to settle, and he continued, “It tells me she never loved me. And someone who doesnt love me is never coming back”
Bernard remained silent, observing Cedric attentively, his hand supporting his chin as he tilted his head slightly.
After a moment of contemplation, Cedric gazed at the candy for a while before finally looking up at Bernard.
“Do you think I did something wrong?” he inquired, seeking Bernard’s perspective
Bernard blinked, his bright eyes displaying a deep understanding, and he prepared to offer his thoughts
“Yes, you did”
Cedric looked at him, puzzled.
“What did I do wrong?”
“I told you a long time ago, don’t mess around with women you don’t really like.”
But he accepted everyone
How could Ms Vulpe, an orphan longing for a stable family dare to be with him?
Looking into Bernard’s clear and bright eyes, Cedric seemed to understand something .
“So it was my past behavior that made her not love me.”
“She didn’t dare.”
Didn’t dare?
What’s there to fear in loving someone?
Cedric didn’t argue, he just felt that Hailey didn’t love him for who he was
So, Cedric, it was time to wake up if she didn’t love him, let her go gracefully.
With this thought, Cedric unwrapped the candy and put it in his mouth. Although it was sweet, it had a bitter taste.
After finishing this candy, he would let go of Hailey, and their messy painful past
Swallowing the bitter candy, he put aside all the emotions he shouldn’t have, lifted his head, and smiled at Bernard
“I promise you, I’ll work hard like you from now on, no more fooling around.”
He seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, his words becoming more mature than before
Bernard looked at Cedric like this for a while, then followed up on his 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...
