A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 979

The warmth passing between their fingers made Hailey freeze in her tracks.

She looked up at Yeager, his hair all wild and messy, his forehead slick with cold sweat. He looked like a completely different person from the gentleman she first met. She knew that all this disarray was because of her.

Yeager had racked his brain to keep her by his side, including the strategic moves he just made. Hailey had seen it all. But he also honestly told her that all this was because Cedric wouldn't let go of her.

The blood trickling from Yeager's hand dripped onto Hailey's, causing her to hesitate for a long while before she raised her hand again to stop his bleeding.

"Have you set a date to meet with your parents?"

Yeager looked puzzled at her sudden question.

"Yeah, they're coming back next month."

After saying this, Yeager added,

"Don't worry, when I go back, I'll call and cancel their trip."

Hailey paused for a moment before lifting her head to look at him.

"If you've already set a date, then don't change it."

Yeager was taken aback, then quickly caught on.

"You...You're not planning to break up with me?"

Hailey shook her head firmly.

"No."

She's not the kind of person who changes her mind easily. Yeager hadn't done anything fundamentally wrong, he just did some shady things out of fear of Cedric. It wouldn't be fair to ditch Yeager just for that.

Seeing that Hailey had no intention of breaking up, Yeager was overjoyed. Ignoring the wound on his hand, he pulled Hailey into a tight hug.

"I thought after today, I wouldn't get another chance to be with you..."

He rested his chin on Hailey's shoulder, saying with great affection,

Hailey could see the pain written all over Yeager's face. Gazing into his handsome features, she spoke calmly, "I truly want to marry you and build a life together. Once I commit to someone, I'm loyal and won't easily change my mind, unless you betray me. So, you don't need to worry about Mr. Laurence anymore, and please don't provoke him. If you repeat this mistake, I won't be able to forgive you."

Her words were firm and resolute. Hailey made it clear that she wouldn't tolerate any further provocations towards Cedric, and her love had its limits.

Yeager understood the gravity of her words. He looked at her and nodded, promising, "Okay, I hear you. I won't provoke him again."

Although he acknowledged that his actions weren't entirely fair, he believed that keeping the love of his life by his side was worth taking a different approach.

Yeager didn't see anything wrong with using certain tactics to get what he wanted. He should do everything possible to fight for it!

After clearing things up with Yeager, Hailey left to go to the hospital where Cedric was.

As soon as she got in the car, Eleanor called.

"Hailey, did you ask Yeager? Did he tell you what nasty things he said?"

While driving, Hailey answered Eleanor's question:"He didn't tell me what he said exactly, but it's not important now. I've made up my mind."
