A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 964

Sigrid just finished her performance and was about to head off to the dressing room to change. When she saw what was happening, she hurried over to her brother, Cedric.

"Cedric, you okay?"

Cedric held out his pale hand.

"Give me a hand."

When Sigrid took her brother’s hand, she felt how cold and weak it was.

His eyes were drooping, completely red, like he had taken a severe blow. They were empty, lifeless.

"Cedric…”

She whispered his name, feeling as if she could sense the pain in his heart. She tightened her grip on his hand, her own heart aching.

She had once walked in on Chase making out with another woman in their bed. She had felt the same way Cedric did now.

She had loved Chase deeply, just like Cedric loved Hailey now. But in the end, Hailey had chosen someone else.

Sigrid couldn't tell who was right or wrong. Hailey was in a similar situation to what she had experienced.

The only difference was that her brother, he was truly in love with Hailey...

Seeing the person you love passionately kissing someone else, how painful could that be?

Sigrid looked up at him, noticing his face was pale, devoid of colour.

“Take me away.”

Too weak to walk, he might have collapsed if not for her.

Sigrid glanced over at the man and woman at the entrance of the dressing room.

Their kiss was public.

Her brother didn't even have the right to stop it.

The only way to save some dignity was to leave as quickly as possible.

Without even changing her clothes, Sigrid helped Cedric to his feet and they left.

When Yeager finally let go of Hailey, she caught sight of Cedric’s red eyes and retreating figure.

His staggering made Hailey’s heart squeeze. Had he seen them?

Definitely, otherwise, the pain and anger in his gaze wouldn't make sense.

After they broke up, even though Cedric had two girlfriends, he never kissed in front of her.

Hailey had kissed Yeager twice and both times Cedric saw it. This was a bit…

Then she thought, they had already broken up, why should she care so much about him?

Cedric remembered how Hailey used to gently rub his stomach and take care of him when he was drunk. Now…

She just silently watched him, even took a step back, clearly showing her dislike. He just didn't want to accept it.

“Hailey, come here…”

Hailey was about to call his assistant to pick him up when she saw Cedric weakly waving at her.

Hailey sighed, pocketed her phone, walked over to him. Before she could steady herself, Cedric reached out and pulled her into his arms.

“What the hell are you doing?!”

Cedric had always been casual with his hugs, which had upset Yeager. Hailey remembered the promise she made earlier to Yeager, agreeing to keep her distance from Cedric. Now, however, she found herself forcefully pulled into his arms.

"Let me go!" Hailey struggled, attempting to push Cedric away. But he refused to release his grip.

"Your lips have kissed another man, I won't touch them again!" Cedric's words left Hailey stunned.

"Then why are you holding me?" Hailey demanded, her confusion evident. Cedric's gaze fixated on her lips for a long moment before suddenly lifting her onto his shoulder.

"Cedric, what the hell are you doing?!" Hailey exclaimed, clenching her fists and pounding his back.

"I have a boyfriend. How am I supposed to face Yeager?!" she protested.

"So you can't face him, but you can face me?!" Cedric retorted angrily. He forcefully opened the car door, shoved Hailey inside, followed suit, and swiftly locked the doors.
