A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1175

Witnessing her agony, as if she were about to vomit her insides out, Cedric suppressed his own nausea and glanced at Marina.

“You can get out, I got her."

Marina glanced back at Cedric and then at Hailey, she was a bit worried but still turned to leave.

The second the door was shut, Cedric stripped off his clothes, originally planning to hop in the shower first. But seeing Hailey about to keel over into the trash can, he stopped by her side in an instant, holding her up.

His warm skin brushed against her clothes. It made Hailey uncomfortable, so she started trying to push him away but he held her tight and set her in the bathtub.

Warm water surrounded her from all sides, soothing Hailey enough to stop her struggles.

Cedric grabbed some toiletries and cleaned Hailey's mouth and cheeks. When he was about to get ready to hop in the shower himself, he found Hailey clutching him, her face pressed against his stomach.

He bent over, looking down at the soaking wet woman in his arms. He stared for a while, then suddenly slipped into the bathtub, pulling Hailey to his chest.

He smelled the alcohol on her, his chin resting on her shoulder, "Hailey, do you know who I am…"

Having emptied her stomach, Hailey was a bit more sober now. She lifted her head slightly, looking at the man holding her.

His face, etched into her memory, appeared in her blurry vision. She murmured his name involuntarily, "Cedric…"

She wanted to ask him why he's here, but he lifted her chin.

Cedric was a bit thrilled, he leaned closer, "Hailey, remember, you started this tonight."

Huh?

Before Hailey could voice her confusion, she was silenced by his passionate kiss, and the hot kiss flooded her senses.

His hands roamed over her skin, even though there were clothes in between, she could feel the heat of his palms, like a wildfire ready to ignite at the slightest touch.

Staring at the handsome face before her, Hailey froze. Maybe it was the liquor talking, but she didn’t push him away, instead, she let him lead her.
