A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1193

While he was feeling super anxious, Hailey sent him a message.

Cedric immediately opened it, his body tensed up as he read the content.

Once he realized what she wanted to do, he tried to call Hailey, but she didn't answer and hung up instead. When he tried again, he was blocked.

Cedric ended the call, went back to the chat and swiftly typed, "Hailey, what's up, why won't you let me propose to you?"

His message couldn't be sent, apparently he was blocked once again.

Cedric frowned at the message Hailey had sent.

"Cedric, don't bring up the proposal again. I won't marry you. As for what happened that night, consider it a one-night stand, don't dwell on it."

So...Hailey didn't respond immediately because she was considering whether or not to accept his proposal, and now that she made up her mind, she gave him a clear answer?

He let everyone know about his intentions, thinking it would corner her, who knew Hailey would still be so adamant.

Even though they had been intimate, she could dismiss it as a one-night stand and didn't take it to heart.

Cedric was fuming, and he threw his phone in frustration.

For every step Hailey took, he took ten, always hoping to melt her cold heart. Little did he know, her heart was harder than a rock, and he couldn't break in.

He sat angrily on the sofa, after a while, he picked up his phone and decided to go to Hailey's place.

However, Hailey wasn't home. The nanny said she didn't come home last night, Cedric guessed she might be working at the club and drove there immediately.

When he got to the club, the manager said the boss hadn't shown up and asked Cedric where she went. Unable to find Hailey, Cedric panicked and called Eleanor.

Eleanor, busy with her design sketches, immediately put down her tools and answered the call.

"Eleanor, do you know where Hailey is?"
