A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1173

Hailey slightly lifted her head, leaning in closer to Cedric.

"So what's this 'action' you're talking about?"

Her sweet scent, mixed with a hint of alcohol, hit Cedric as she drew near, making his heart flutter. He had wanted to get closer to her, but when Hailey actually leaned in, he got a little scared and turned his head slightly, trying to dodge the close contact.

In Cedric's arms, Hailey, a bit tipsy from the alcohol, was having trouble recognizing the person in front of her. She grabbed his arm, squinted her eyes, and slowly moved closer to him.

As she got closer, Cedric didn't dodge anymore, he stiffened his back, staring intensely at her. As her hand landed on his chest, his heart skipped a beat, but he stayed cool, watching her quietly.

Hailey's fingers gently gripped Cedric's white shirt. With a yank, she pulled him closer to her.

"Huh? What 'action' are you talking about?"

Her lips, now close to his. There was almost no space between their lips.

Cedric lowered his head, gazing at her red lips. He swallowed nervously.

"If I tell you, would you do it?"

Hailey obediently nodded. She was drunk and would do whatever anyone told her to do, without a hint of caution.

Cedric watched the half-drunk Hailey, hesitated for a moment, then mustered his courage, leaned in, and said, "Then give me a kiss, as a thank you."

Hailey seemed to understand his words. She let go of his shirt, reached out to touch his face, and then gently kissed him.

It was just a light peck, but it sent a jolt of electricity coursing through Cedric's body.

He instinctively clenched his fists, holding Hailey tightly around the waist.
