A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 790

Hailey was taken aback when she unexpectedly spotted Cedric Laurence in her line of sight. Mixed emotions swirled within her, but she reminded herself that she was now with Yeager.

Yeager enveloped her in a comforting hug before opening an umbrella to shield her from the rain. With his assistance, he guided her into the car and drove her to the villa.

As Hailey stepped out of the car, she bid farewell to Yeager from the front of the villa. Just as she was about to enter, Yeager called out to her, causing her to pause.

"Hailey..."

Yeager, appearing slightly bashful, took a step closer to her after uttering her name.

Curious, Hailey tilted her head up to meet his gaze. Usually, Yeager would depart after dropping her off. What made this instance different?

Yeagerbent his head to look at Hailey's tempting red lips. He blushed, wanting to kiss her but not knowing how to broach the subject.

They were both experienced in love. The expectation in Yeager's eyes made it clear to Hailey what he wanted. But...

It felt a bit too soon for her. But they were adults, not exactly young anymore, so this progress wasn't really that quick.

But for some reason, she felt it was too soon. She felt a sort of resistance, afraid to kiss Yeager or take things further.

Unaware of what was going on in Hailey's mind, Yeager just mustered up the courage to ask her in a low voice,

"Can I kiss you?"

He asked directly, no beating around the bush, but his face was a bright shade of red.

Hailey looked at Yeager's face, even his ears were red. It was as if she could see his heart pounding.

That kind of nervousness that was usually associated with youth, Yeager was displaying it right in front of her.

He looked like a pure-hearted high school boy...

Seeing Yeager like this, Hailey suddenly clenched her hands...

All he knew was that besides studying, he often thought of her.

He even dreamt countless times of her running late, panting as she ran up to him.

But he thought he and Hailey were impossible, so he didn't dare to talk to her much in school, too chicken.

He kept a girl like this in his heart, focusing on studying medicine, not expecting to run into her after graduation.

Yeager, determined to take their relationship further, gathered his courage to confess his feelings to Hailey.

"Hailey, I like you. It's not just because you fit my ideal vision of a life partner..." he began, his face slightly flushed.

Hailey, taken aback, had assumed that Yeager had developed feelings for her during their recent time together. To her surprise, he revealed that his feelings had existed since their school days.

She looked at Yeager, whose face showing a hint of nervousness, unsure of how to respond to his heartfelt confession.
