A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1198

Despite the awkwardness, Latonia firmly said, "Even if she's your sister, she needs my blessing to become part of my family. Don't I, as a future mother-in-law, have the right to have a chat with her?"

After staring at Latonia for a moment, Bernard retorted, "Who said Ms. Vulpe wants to marry into your family?"

Without thinking, Latonia shot back, "If she doesn't want to marry into my family, why has she been hanging around my son for five years?"

Leaning back on the couch, Bernard gave a lazy smile, "Seems like you don't really know your own son."

If she didn’t know her own son, who would?

She stated firmly, "Cedric is my son, I raised him. No one knows him better than I do."

Bernard didn’t argue with the stubborn Latonia, only saying, "You might not know that after Cedric and Ms. Vulpe broke up, he spent two years trying to win her back."

Latonia froze, staring at Bernard in shock, "With Cedric's personality, there's no way he'd spend two years chasing a woman. That's impossible!"

She couldn’t believe her son would do such a thing. In her mind, Cedric was a playboy, not one to settle down.

She figured that the only reason they'd been together for five years was because Hailey was desperate to marry into wealth, that she clung to Cedric like glue.

Knowing Bernard was defending Hailey, Latonia didn't want to outright accuse her, so she subtly said, "Cedric would never do that, it must have been Ms. Vulpe clinging to him."
