A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1180

When Bernard saw Cedric's incoming call, he emotionlessly reached out and hit the end call button.

Cedric, not willing to be dismissed so easily, dialed again.

Bernard's face darkened before he slid to answer the call.

Before Cedric could even open his mouth, an angry roar came through the phone, "Get lost—"

The harsh words silenced Cedric's urge to speak.

After a moment of thought, he picked up his phone and sent Bernard a message.

[I'm at Hailey's place right now, and I don't have any clothes. Can you drop some off for me?]

The message was a coded way of saying their night of passion had left him without clothes.

Bernard glanced at the screen and couldn't help but clench his fist…

Cedric waited for a few minutes, but there was no response.

He picked up his phone again, opened the family group chat, and tagged Bernard.

[Bernard, check out the message I sent you]

Bernard was speechless.

When no one responded, Cedric tagged everyone.

[Guys, can someone reach out to Bernard for me, I need to talk to him urgently.]

Taylor Laurence asked worriedly, [What's the emergency?]

As soon as Cedric saw the reply, he immediately responded, [I'm getting married]

Taylor was momentarily silent.

So...he was getting married, and what did that have to do with Bernard?

Taylor couldn't figure it out, but Bernard knew Cedric just wanted to show off.

Cedric, who was eagerly waiting for his brothers’ shocking faces, suddenly saw a message from Bernard, [Block Cedric]

Veronica Laurence, who seemed to understand Bernard's annoyance, wisely removed Cedric from the group for the time being.

Cedric, who was kicked out of the group, didn't care. He took a selfie and opened his social media, sending out a message and tagging his brothers.

[Guys, I'm getting married. Any of you have good proposal ideas? Share them with me]

Without Cedric in the group, Kendrick Laurence sent a message, [What's up with Cedric?]

The rest of the group started discussing.

Taylor asked, [Is Cedric losing it?]

Matthew Laurence, who was in Africa, replied, [He must be nuts. Who'd marry him?]

His question made the somewhat uncertain Cedric start beating around the bush, "You could say she did."

Hearing this, Bernard knew Hailey hadn't agreed and a smirk crossed his deep gaze, "She hasn't even said yes, and you're telling everyone about it already. Aren't you afraid of being rejected?"

Cedric patted his chest confidently, "This time, no matter what, I'm gonna win her over. Just wait for my good news!"

Bernard gave a small smile, revealing a playful grin, "Have you told your parents?"

His casual question snapped the triumphant Cedric back to reality.

Cedric gritted his teeth, "I'm going home tonight, and they're going to prepare everything I need for the wedding!"

Bernard didn't expect Cedric to take this step, and his smile deepened.

Cedric was serious this time, willing to go through the formal marriage process. It was indeed a happy thing that he was willing to settle down. However, convincing his parents might be a hurdle.

After all, Sigrid and Chase were prime examples. Bernard could only hope Cedric's parents would spare Cedric, considering Sigrid's past pain…

Bernard was thorough in his considerations, but Cedric's focus was still on bragging, "Bernard, are you going to bring me clothes or not? If not, I'll go to Eleanor."

The man in the car lifted his icy gaze and glanced at Cedric, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window wrapped in a towel, "Do you dare?”

Cedric knew he was being sized up and deliberately twisted his body to show off, "You'll see if I dare or not..."

Now that he had a wife to back him up, was he still afraid of Bernard?

Although his wife was also afraid of Bernard, Eleanor wasn't.
