A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 967

He gently lifted his head from her shoulder, his eyes filled with anger.

"Hailey, how can you be so sure that Yeager won't cheat on you after you guys are hitched?"

She's worried about him playing the field, does she think Yeager isn't capable of that?

Why would she rather bet on Yeager and not even spare him a glance?

"He won't."

Even if he did, Hailey could stomach it, but not from Cedric.

"He won't? Any guy could, why wouldn't he?"

Any guy could...

See, that's exactly Cedric's mentality, who would dare pin their hopes on him?

Realizing he had spoken out of turn, Cedric clutched her shoulders and hastily clarified:

"I didn't mean it like that, I meant most guys would, but there are good ones too. I think I won't in the future, you believe me, right..."

His explanation was a mess, making Hailey realize Cedric was plastered tonight.

"Quit your drunken rambling, let me take you home..."

Cedric held onto her tightly, not letting her leave.

Alcohol made his head heavy, as he rested it on Hailey's shoulder once again.

He nuzzled into her neck, rubbing his face against it.

"Hailey, Hailey, Hailey..."

He called her name over and over again.

Each time he called, Hailey's heart would flutter.

Cedric was like a drug, no matter how hard she tried to resist, she couldn't fend off his constant advances.

"Cedric, you're drunk. Let me take you home."

She gently patted his back, comforting him softly.

Cedric got up from Hailey's side, holding onto the edge of the bed, swaying, he staggered away.

Without his jacket or shoes, barefoot, like a humiliated dog, as if fleeing, he left the villa.

Driving, he ran several red lights, heading for Fiord Roundabout...

He wanted to find Eleanor, ask her, why is Hailey so heartless?

But he'd consumed too much alcohol, unable to see the road, everything was blurred...

The car zigzagged, upon entering the highway, it collided with another car.

The two cars crashed, the fronts severely damaged, by the time Cedric came to, his forehead had hit the steering wheel, blood was flowing...

He painfully turned his head, looking up at the dark night sky, thinking, if Hailey didn't want him anymore, he'd rather die.

As Bernard was holding Eleanor, the phone rang, interrupting him, but he didn't answer.

Not long after, Bryson knocked on the door anxiously, "Mr. Laurence, the cops just called, Cedric's been in a car accident at Fiord Roundabout..."
