A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1189

Hailey couldn't change the past, but she could make sure about the future.

"Mrs. Laurence, if I marry him, I won't treat him like before. I will love him with all my heart, cherish him, protect him, and never betray him."

That was the sincerity Hailey could show. She was always serious about relationships, including her total dedication to her ex-husband and her commitment to Yeager. Once she promised to be his girlfriend, she would do her best to keep her word. Not to mention Cedric, who was already special in her heart. So, if they get married, she would definitely treat him even better...

Seeing that Hailey was still not giving up, Latonia switched tactics, "My son isn't as good as you think. He loves to play around, he's a playboy, and often the star of gossip columns. But all of that was before he met you. After being with you, he has indeed changed a lot, at least he hasn't been caught in scandals as often. For that, I have to thank you. But are you willing to gamble?"

Latonia, who had been leaning against the couch, suddenly sat upright, placed her hands on the table, crossed her fingers, and looked at Hailey calmly and seriously.

"Since he was a child, he was spoiled by his father and I and developed a willful character. Whatever he wants, he must have it immediately. Just like when he wanted to marry Hertha, he stirred up a lot of drama in the family. But not much later, he got bored and didn't want to get married anymore. Can you guarantee that his sudden desire to marry you now isn't just an impulse?"

Regarding Hertha, Latonia knew the inside story, but she deliberately said this to make Hailey give up.

Because she had checked up on Hailey and knew about her selfless sacrifices for her ex-husband, including buying a house and spending all her wealth, only to be stabbed in the back in the end.

She knew that women who have experienced such things would become more cautious about love and marriage.

So, Latonia's words were like a needle, piercing directly into the place where Hailey was most worried and fearful. The person who knew Cedric best was undoubtedly his mother. If even his mother thought he was impulsive, Hailey would naturally be scared.

She had also suspected that Cedric wanted to marry her out of a sense of responsibility. But when she was in danger, Cedric silently stayed by her side. He must want to marry her out of love, right?

Hailey wasn't interested in Latonia's words, because Latonia started to play hardball. However, even when playing hardball, she extended her well-maintained hand, tightly holding Hailey's hand, placing it in her own palm, patting it gently.

"Ms. Vulpe, if you make Cedric give up on this idea, I can assure you that your club will continue to thrive. If you can't do it, I might take some actions. Of course, I won't let you go bankrupt. After all, you're Eleanor's friend, I can't make things hard for you, but I can make your life difficult."

As Latonia threatened her with a gentle demeanor and soft voice, Hailey experienced firsthand Latonia's power, and she felt even more sympathy for Chase.

"Mrs. Laurence, no wonder Sigrid and Chase broke up. With a mother like you, their only outcome could be a breakup."

Latonia could touch people's hearts with her gentle approach and cut off their retreat with her hard stance. Was Chase also threatened like this back then?
