Hailey stared into Eleanor's bright eyes before slowly releasing her clenched fists, "If he really proposes, I might say yes..."
She was almost sexually assaulted. Normally, that kind of thing would give you nightmares, but last night she didn't think about it. Instead, she accepted Cedric.
As the saying goes, the body doesn't lie. Her body responded to Cedric which meant her heart hadn't forgotten him either…
If she still had feelings for Cedric, then why not give it another try? Why she called it a "try", Hailey wasn't quite sure. She just had this nagging feeling that being with Cedric didn't give her much stability.
She was afraid that once they were married, he might get tired of her and ditch her again. Then what? How was she supposed to face being dumped twice?
Deep down, Hailey was scared, but Liana's last wish was for her to give Cedric a chance, wasn't it?
She thought, Liana wouldn't lie to her, right?
When Eleanor heard Hailey say she might say yes to Cedric, she cracked a smile, "Well then, looks like I'll be waiting for the good news."
They had just made up and definitely needed more time to talk things through, so Eleanor decided to stop being the third wheel.
"Cedric's too scared to go outside because of Bernard. I'll take him away, and you guys can have a proper chat…"
"I don't have anything to say to him…"
Although Hailey said this, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile that even she didn't notice…
When Eleanor saw this, she didn't call Hailey out on it and went upstairs to find Bernard.
As soon as Bernard got in the car, he was a little upset, "Once he's married, I'm sending him to another country far from us…"
Eleanor smilingly said, "He finally got what he wanted. Let him revel in it for a while. Don't be such a stickler for rules…"
While helping Eleanor fasten her seatbelt, Bernard coldly said, "He wants to use your Eleaber Hall to propose to Hailey…"
When she heard this, Eleanor's smile faded, "Darling, ship him off to another country…"
Bernard subtly raised his eyebrows, "Darling, he finally got what he wanted. Let him revel in it for a while. Don't be such a stickler for rules…"
Eleanor clenched her fists, "I'm sleeping with Nina tonight…"
Bernard, who had just started the car, suddenly let go of the steering wheel and grabbed Eleanor's wrist, "Darling, I’ll listen to you. I'll send him away…"
Eleanor huffed, "It's too late to regret now."
Bernard, "Forgive me, darling…"
The two of them joked around.
Eleanor intentionally ignored him, turning to look out the window.
