A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1181

Cedric listened to Eleanor, and Eleanor listened to Hailey. If he could convince Hailey, then he would control the narrative. What's there to be afraid of?

Once he sorted out his thoughts, Cedric mustered up the courage, hung up the phone and turned around.

Just as he turned around, at that split second, Bernard, who had quick reflexes, swiftly opened the car door—

The moment the master bedroom door was opened, Eleanor turned her head. Before she could make out what was coming out, her eyes were covered by a big hand. Then, a cold yet pleasant voice was heard in her ear:

"Don't look, otherwise you'll go blind."

Eleanor, whose eyes were covered, chuckled.

Her husband must be worried about her seeing Cedric in a half-naked state, right?

The thing was... if looking once would make her go blind, what about Hailey...

Upon seeing Cedric, Hailey's face turned beet red.

She rushed over, pushing Cedric back into the room while scolding him, "I told you to stay put, why did you come out?!"

Cedric frowned. "I'm not some kind of monster. Why can't I come out? Besides..."

Before he could finish, he was shoved back into the room by the surprisingly strong Hailey.

After closing him in, Hailey took hold of the door handle and turned to face Eleanor and Bernard.

"We didn't do anything last night, you believe us, right?"

Bernard looked at her expressionlessly...

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Hailey quickly changed the subject. "Eleanor, how about we go sit in the living room?"

Upon hearing this, Eleanor quickly peeked out from between Bernard's fingers. "Sure--"

Hailey thought Eleanor would say, "we won't bother you today, we'll take off," but instead, she said, "sure."

Helpless, Hailey could only cover her face and walk downstairs. "Follow me..."

Watching her hurried departure, Eleanor couldn't help but chuckle. "Honey, I'll talk to Hailey for a bit and then we can leave. You wait for me in the car..."

Bernard's cold eyes remained fixed on the master bedroom door. "You go. I'll wait here for Cedric to come out--"

Hearing this chilling voice, Cedric decided he wouldn't come out no matter what--
