A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1178

Hailey sneakily glanced at him in the mirror, sighing in relief when she saw he'd covered his private area. But as he approached her, she felt an overwhelming sense of nervousness.

If they hadn’t had sex last night, she might have been able to be as calm and composed as before, but now, she felt as if she was tied up, this made her extremely uncomfortable.

She held her breath as Cedric drew closer, his slender hands wrapping around her waist from behind and holding her tight.

Her body tensed up, but Cedric seemed perfectly relaxed. His chin rested on her shoulder, "Hailey, you started it last night. You gotta take responsibility for teasing me."

What?

Did she start it?

Would she really have initiated it?

Hailey blushed, trying to keep her cool.

"I was drunk, and I don't remember..."

What she meant was that she didn't remember anything, so this wasn't her fault.

His hand slowly moved upward, and when he touched her chest, Hailey felt her legs go weak.

"If you don't remember, I can help jog your memory."

Hailey wasn't sure if she was feeling guilty or just nervous, but she swallowed hard and grabbed his hand.

"I’m good."

She grabbed his hand to stop him from proceeding and turned her head to face him.

"So, how do you want me to take responsibility?"

Upon hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Cedric's lips.

"Marry me."

Marry him...

But she didn't want to go through marriage again, let alone with Cedric.

Her face was full of reluctance. Cedric saw through her thoughts, but pretended not to notice, reaching out to hold Hailey's face and forcing her to look at him.

"Hailey, you agreed to marry me last night. Are you having second thoughts now?"
