"So...you're not into me anymore?"
She said it so nonchalantly.
But that nonchalance hit Cedric right in the chest, making it hard for him to breathe.
Back then he was indeed afraid of his friends' jokes, but he never once felt disgusted by her.
Even though she had a past, he was still willing to have her as his girlfriend.
But how could she just stop liking him because of all this?
Cedric was kinda thrown off. He lifted Hailey's face.
"Hailey, let me tell you again, I never once cared about you being divorced. If I did, may I be struck down!”
His vow left Hailey at a loss for words.
It seemed like he said those words in an attempt to win her back.
He had plenty of women, why try to win her back?
Hailey didn't think Cedric was doing this because he liked her.
Maybe he had a bit of a crush on her, after all, Hailey wasn't clueless, she could feel it.
But it was more like a kid's tantrum, his plaything of three years suddenly leaving him, he was bound to feel a bit lost.
Hailey knew Cedric well, if he treated her as a toy, he'd throw her away once he was bored.
Just like how he wooed Norene back, then dumped her a few days later.
Hailey was wounded, she didn't dare to get hurt again, afraid she couldn't bear it, also afraid once she fell in, she'd never get out.
After all, Cedric was different from Austin Zimmer, he was far superior than Austin. If she fell for him, she'd be done for...
Thinking of this, Hailey forced herself to stay calm, looking at Cedric.
"Cedric, your first love Hertha, she likes you more, you guys should get back together."
Seeing Hailey reject him again, Cedric felt a knot in his stomach.
"Hailey, congratulations on finding a suitable partner. Allow me to wish you a happy life in advance.”
He said each word very slowly...
Hailey knew he was mocking her previous failed marriage, but she didn't argue with him, just nodded.
"Thank you, I will definitely have a happy life!"
She firmly believed she wouldn't be so unlucky again, to meet another partner who would betray her.
After saying this, Hailey didn't wait to see Cedric's reaction, turned around and walked towards Yeager Alis.
Cedric clenched his fists, staring at Hailey's retreating figure, his heart aching unbearably.
The sense of loss was unbearable, he clenched his fist and punched the wall!
His hand was soon bloody, blood seeping out...
But this physical pain couldn't suppress the pain in his heart, making him feel incredibly irritated, as if he wanted to vent his anger.
