A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 837

Seeing her pissed off, Cedric forced himself to cool down, but his gaze was still glued on Hailey.

Hailey didn't want to deal with him and angrily hit the gas.

After a moment of silence, Cedric lifted his foot and gently kicked Hailey's seat.

"Anything I give to a woman, I never take back. Come to my house tomorrow and take your stuff."

"What a coincidence."

While driving, Hailey responded, "What I return, I never take back."

"Hailey, are you really mad at me?"

Hailey didn't respond. She was silent and felt heavy in her heart.

"Cedric, I returned your gifts because I never wanted your money when we were together. After we broke up, I naturally returned them. Don't overthink it. Also..."

Hailey paused for a moment and took a deep breath. "Yeager said he doesn't like you always coming to me."

"Is it him who doesn't like it, or you?"

Hailey didn't answer Cedric's question; she just continued to speak.

"As you heard, I'll meet his parents soon. After that, we'll talk about marriage."

"I plan to marry Yeager. It's not appropriate for me to see you often. It’s best to give me a wide berth when you see me."

Cedric's fingertips were rubbing his palm, feeling as if even the flesh hurt.

"Hailey, you know, it was Yeager who provoked me first tonight. He did this just because I beat him up last time. He's still bearing a grudge and wanted to get back at me in front of everyone. Can't you see what kind of person he is?"

He could say that Yeager was an upright doctor, but the premise was that he's also a man with flaws. How could Hailey only see one side of a person?

"You can't just deny a person completely based on one dinner gathering."

Before he closed the door, Cedric lowered his head and looked at Hailey, who didn't dare to look up.

"Hailey, I always come to you because I like you and want to win you back. If not, do you think I would come to you?" Cedric spoke directly and recklessly.

Once he confirmed that he liked Hailey, he never beat around the bush.

It's just that Hailey pushed him away time and time again, making him feel tired and disheartened.

"I'll try my best not to come to you anymore."

With that, Cedric closed the car door and turned around, but he couldn't help looking back at her.

"By the way, when I wished you happiness, I was lying. I don't want you to be happy."

Cedric threw his coat over his shoulder and strode down the road with his hand in his pocket.

Looking at his defiant figure, Hailey helplessly lifted the corners of her mouth. Whether she was happy or not, it was not up to him to decide.
