A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1214

"I..."

Hailey wanted to say it wasn't love, she just liked him, but when she tried to voice it out, she stopped. If it wasn't love, why would she care about his previous encounters with other women, something she never cared about before?

Seeing her unsure about her own feelings, a warm smile appeared in Garett's eyes.

"Hailey, don't be too scared when it comes to feelings. If you care about him, muster your courage once more."

Hailey used to be fearless when it came to love, but perhaps her ex-husband's betrayal and meeting Cedric made her hesitant in love.

But in Garett's eyes, all the efforts are brave for love. If it were him, he wouldn't hesitate at all. Even if he failed, he could start over. However...

He doesn't have the chance to start over.

Hailey didn't notice Garett's thoughts, she clenched her fists, for the first time revealing her innermost feelings in front of someone else.

"I once mustered up my courage for him, but when I bravely took that step, I found out he did something to wrong me. I backed away, got scared, decided never to love him again. But today, he told me what I saw was a lie created by others, that woman came to explain to me as well, I don't know if I should continue to believe him…"

Garett got it instantly.

"His past actions make you feel insecure, so you don't trust him."

The issue itself isn't the key, the key is Cedric's image. Hailey, who already experienced a failed marriage, was hesitant to fully commit to a new relationship.

The reason she's like this is because she loves Cedric. If it were anyone else, like Yeager, Hailey wouldn't care if Yeager had other women before, she wouldn't be bothered by it.

"Yes, his past actions... make it hard for me to trust him..."

Garett thought for a bit, he looked at Hailey, who seemed to have no sense of security at the moment.

"Has he changed for you?"

Hailey carefully recalled. Cedric's change, from a gentle playboy at first to a wealthy heir, not only did he make her jealous with other women, he also insulted her verbally from time to time. Other changes include him starting to like her. Though, after she encountered difficulties, Cedric became more mature...

"If he's willing to change for you, give him another chance. If he hasn't changed at all, then give up. But the premise is, you have to give it a shot to know the result, right?"
