A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1016

Cedric, as soon as Chase was out of the door, turned to his assistant and snapped, "You get your ass to F Country right now and look up someone called Bernice."

Janice was about to say something, but was cut off by a cough from Ableson. There were definitely some secrets between them, secrets that even Yeager didn't know about.

If it was really like that, then Hailey was really unlucky. Cedric pondered carefully. After all, they were acquaintances, and even if she didn't love him, he couldn't just watch her fall into trouble. Now he understood that impulsiveness wouldn't bring any benefits but rather make him vulnerable to manipulation.

He should learn from Bernard, approach matters by investigating the facts, gathering evidence, and then revealing the truth through others.

Hailey sat in her car, gazing at her house, suddenly feeling reluctant to go inside.

Once she entered, Marina would undoubtedly ask her about her date and when she planned to get married.

The idea of marriage had become a tremendous pressure for her, and she couldn't understand why it had turned out this way, especially when she thought she was ready to remarry.

With a deep sigh, Hailey started the car and headed towards Fiord Roundabout.

While waiting at a traffic light, she rolled down the window for some fresh air and unexpectedly caught sight of Cedric.

He was sitting in the passenger seat and had also rolled down his window.

They exchanged a brief glance, which felt somewhat awkward.

Cedric looked at her for two seconds, then quickly averted his gaze, rolled up the window with seamless motion.

Hailey blinked her eyelashes slightly, then turned her head to look ahead at the red light.

This was the result she wanted, but when he truly treated her like a stranger, she felt somewhat sad. Hailey smiled to herself. She never expected that one day she would become so sensitive.

Initially, Cedric had intended to go to Fiord Roundabout, but upon seeing Hailey heading in that direction as well, he instructed the driver to change the route.

Hailey glanced at the rearview mirror, seeing the luxurious car making the turn, and her expression subtly changed, though she didn't show any emotional response. This way, it's probably for the best.

Meanwhile, Eleanor had been busy completing the design drawings left by Emilia. When she heard Bryson say that Hailey had arrived, she paused her work.
