A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1190

When Sigrid and Chase were mentioned, Latonia, always wearing a smile, became slightly more serious, as if thinking about something, and let go of Hailey's hand.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not heartless, as parents, who wouldn't worry about their kids? If you came from a better background, had a higher level of education, had higher demands for yourself, why wouldn't I accept you?"

The situation with Chase and Sigrid gave Latonia some insight, and she didn't want to interfere too much in her son's affairs. But in her view, Hailey was not as capable as Chase, nor was she as good at handling relationships. If she didn't even like Chase, how could she like Hailey?

"Ms. Vulpe, in aristocratic families, the concept of marrying someone of equal social status is very important, because the education, ideas, foresight, moral values, and knowledge one receives from a young age can be very different. You two are attracted to each other right now, probably just because of hormones. Once this passion passes, you'll realize how big the gap between you two is."

Latonia said a lot, and this sentence made Hailey feel very inferior, and it was something she couldn't refute.

Hailey's clenched fist slowly relaxed. When she looked up at Latonia again, there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

She didn't speak, looking as if she was wavering, or thinking. Latonia couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so she continued, "Although Bernard and Eleanor have a big gap in their family backgrounds, Bernard and Cedric are different. Bernard can accept everything about Eleanor, whether it's her background or her shortcomings. I dare say, even if Eleanor does something wrong, Bernard will still love her. But Cedric won't. He's still a child, completely naive. In his view, the things he can't get are the best, once he gets them, the excitement disappears. Then, think about what you're going to do?"

Latonia's words deeply touched Hailey's heart. Her innermost fears were all revealed by Latonia, making her feel a tightness in her chest and starting to waver. But because Latonia was too accurate, she had nothing to say.

Seeing Hailey's expression, Latonia knew her words had had an effect. She picked up her expensive handbag from the sofa, opened it, took out a bank card from inside, and handed it to Hailey.

"That's all I have to say. Ms. Vulpe, think carefully about whether you still want to marry my son. If you choose not to, this card is yours. If you still choose to marry him, your life may be influenced by me. The decision is in your hands."

With that, Latonia got up and left. Her elegant silhouette, light steps, in Hailey's eyes, were like a heavy mountain, making her breathless.

This suffocating feeling made her involuntarily pick up the bank card. The dim light shone on Hailey's face, reflecting a pale light, desolate without a hint of color.

She sat in the coffee shop for a long time, finally put the card in her bag, and got up and left.

When she got home, she filled the bathtub with water, lay in it to relax her tense nerves, and pictured Cedric holding her in the bathtub...
