A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1208

Hertha, who was flirting with a man, immediately pushed him away the moment she saw an incoming call from him.

Making a quiet gesture at the naked man, she answered the call.

"Cedric, calling me this late, are you missing me already?"

Cedric grimaced at the sound of Hertha's seductive voice, trying to keep his cool.

"Did you do anything to me after you took me home that night?"

At his words, Hertha responded instantly, a smirk playing on her lips.

"Cedric, shouldn't you be asking yourself that question? Did you do something to me?"

Cedric was startled by her words, but quickly composed himself, his voice icy.

"If I've done anything to you, you'd use it to blackmail me, not choose to leave."

The empty bed the next morning, wasn't it proof that Hertha felt guilty and left first?

"Cedric, I left because I knew even if we had gotten intimate, you wouldn't choose me again. To me, it was enough to have one last intimate night with you before your marriage."

If any other woman had said those words, Cedric might have believed them. But Hertha, who once seduced Bernard, how could Cedric possibly believe her?

"You better tell the truth or else..."

"I asked you how did it feel that night, and I asked if you enjoyed it. You answered me at that time, but why are you denying it now?"

The words made Cedric freeze. Hailey had said something similar. Did he really...

"No... it can't be!"

"Why not?" Hertha, lying on the couch, said to the phone.
