A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1203

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Cedric but also Latonia couldn't figure them out.

Latonia thought to herself, "I apologized personally, isn't it enough for Hailey? Does she still need to play those mind games?"

However, Hailey wasn't deliberately opposing Latonia. She genuinely didn't want Cedric anymore.

After Hailey grabbed Latonia's hand, stuffed the card into it, and quickly turned to leave, Cedric chased after her like a madman. He grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.

"Hailey, if you think my mom's apology wasn't sincere enough, tell me. I'll have her apologize again. Don't say you don't want to marry me."

Cedric's embrace was like a vine, tightly wrapping around Hailey, making it impossible for her to break free and causing her pain.

He had held Hertha, Norene, and countless other women before. She didn't care in the past, but now, she felt disgusted.

She didn't even want to talk to him, she just tried to push him away. But Cedric held her tightly, as if she would disappear the moment he let go.

"Hailey, my mom was wrong. She knows her mistake and came to apologize. It means she won't stop us anymore. Don't be mad, don't leave me because of this."

Unable to break free, the scent of Cedric reminded Hailey of that night. She felt nauseous and pushed him away furiously.

"Get off me!"

But how could Cedric possibly let her go? He held on to her desperately.

"I can hardly see you, how could I let you go!" His grip was like a shackle, binding Hailey.

Suddenly, she couldn't control her emotions and exploded—

"DO NOT TOUCH ME! DO NOT TOUCH ME, I SAID DO NOT TOUCH ME!"

This thunderous roar, along with the frantic shoving, startled both Cedric and Hailey herself.

She slowly looked up at Cedric, his eyes mirrored her…

She wasn't the gentle Hailey from before, but a distorted, hateful woman.

She was afraid of becoming a shrew, but because of the 50% love, she turned into what she feared.

In the end, she became a shrew…

Her strong reaction made Cedric slowly let go.

"Hailey, alright, I won't touch you…"

Cedric's voice was gentle, but his eyes were fearful.
