Upon hearing this, Latonia bowed her head slowly, her firmly held beliefs began to waver.
What was she worried about?
Previously, she was worried that a guy like Chase wasn't suitable for Sigrid, so she pulled all the strings to separate them. Then she discovered Chase actually had his own difficulties.
At this time, she was worried that a woman like Hailey wasn't suitable for Cedric, and she was thinking about meddling again, but...
What if one day she suddenly realizes that Hailey isn't what she thought she was, would she regret her actions today, just like she regretted separating Chase?
This thought broke out and a cold sweat ran down Latonia's back. She hadn't even taken that step yet, why was she having such thoughts? Was it the impact of past experiences?
Thinking about how Sigrid suffered after losing Chase, and how she cut off relations with her after knowing the truth, gave Latonia the chills. Was losing a daughter not enough, would she lose a son too?
Noticing Latonia seemed reflective, Bernard seized the opportunity and said, "What's the big deal if you let Cedric marry Ms. Vulpe once? If Cedric is like you said, that he wants to marry Ms. Vulpe just because he can't have her, they'll eventually divorce. Then, you can pick a suitable wife for Cedric. He won't resent you, and he'll feel that you, as a mother, always think about his best interests, and he'll be grateful. But if you try meddling at a time when he loves Hailey the most and split them up, you would not only ruin his marriage but also break the your relationship. Why would you want to suffer such a loss?”
Upon hearing this, Latonia had a sudden realization. Yeah, Cedric is not Sigrid, he's a man, the young master of the Laurence family, and the CEO of the Laurence Group's division. Even if it's a second marriage, many women would still want to marry him. What was she worried about?
But now, as Cedric said, it's not a question of whether she can accept it, but she needs to apologize to Hailey. When she thought that Hailey might be her daughter-in-law one day, she was even more reluctant to lower her head to Hailey...
Latonia couldn't put down her pride, so she chose silence. She always thought that as long as she didn't speak, Bernard wouldn't know her thoughts. But she didn't expect that Bernard, after seeing her silent for a while, suddenly brought the topic back to the original goal.
"In the cafe, you said Ms. Vulpe has no parents, belittled her for being an orphan, have you forgotten that my wife also has no parents and is an orphan?"
Seeing Bernard even knew where she met Hailey and what she said, Latonia was even more uneasy. "Bernard, I was talking about Ms. Vulpe. I didn't mention Eleanor. Don't misunderstand."
