A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 594

"What are you up to?"

With a cold face, Cedric draped his coat over her, and pulled her into his embrace.

"Hailey, let me ask you, if we got hitched, would you stop messing around?”

She had just finished meeting her matchmaker in the afternoon and by evening, she was already out seeing other men, completely disregarding Cedric.

Upon hearing the word “marriage,” Hailey was taken aback, but the latter part about messing around brought her back to reality.

"Cedric, let me make this clear. There is no way I am marrying you. As for messing around, it's none of your business. I'm not your girlfriend."

Having said that, she pushed Cedric away. She turned around to open the car door, only to be held tightly from behind.

Cedric buried his chin in the crook of Hailey's neck, rubbing it a bit weakly.

"Hailey. I've noticed that ever since we broke up, I always want to see you. I want to look for you.”

"I think, I might have started to like you.”

Hailey was a bit surprised, "Did you get drunk again?”

Every time he was drunk, he would say sweet nothings to lure her back.

Cedric shook his head, "This time, I didn't drink.”

Hailey turned her head back, watched the falling snow under the streetlight. She stayed silent for a while.

"Cedric, your ex-girlfriends all begged and clung to you after you dumped them. I didn't do that, and that's probably why you think I'm special."

Hailey paused for a moment. When she spoke again, her eyes were filled with reason, "That little bit of liking you have for me is only because you can't accept the loss.”

This pain that he could feel in his palms, still couldn't suppress the anger brought by her words.

"Hailey, it's my own damn fault for coming back to you time and time again!"

He angrily let go of her hand, dropped an "I won't bother you again," and then turned around and walked away quickly.

Hailey stood still, slowly lowering her head.

It's not that she didn't have the courage to accept Cedric. She just didn't have the courage to try marriage again.

And...

Hailey looked back at Cedric who drove away.

This man, was younger than her. He still looked like a child.
