A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1228

Bernard gave him a cold glance and said indifferently as he walked into the office building, "I'm not interested in your good news."

His aloof personality was something Cedric had long gotten used to. He shrugged it off and quickly caught up with Bernard, "Guess where I went yesterday, bro?"

"I don't know," Bernard replied coldly, stepping onto the stairs, "All I know is you've been neglecting the Lawrence Group for Ms. Vulpe."

Cedric had been busy and hadn't been to the company for a while, he felt a bit guilty about it, "I'll be punctual in the future, bro. I promise I won't miss out."

After making that promise, he leaned in towards Bernard and whispered, "Wanna know why?"

Bernard, finding him annoying, replied with a chill, "Did you finally get Ms. Vulpe to fall for you?"

Cedric praised Bernard for his intelligence and grinned from ear to ear, "Not only did I win her over, but she's also not leaving now."

Bernard, who had already figured out the good news, played along and asked, "How can you be so sure she's not going anywhere when you haven't brought her home?"

Cedric's smile widened at the returned question, "I've married her. We just registered our marriage yesterday. What do you think, shocked?"

Expecting Bernard to be surprised after keeping the big news a secret for so long, Cedric was taken aback when Bernard didn't even bat an eyelid.

"Bro, are you not surprised at all?"

"Surprised."

"I knew it!"

He figured Bernard must be used to keeping a poker face.

Just as he thought this, Bernard turned to look at Cedric.

"I'm surprised that Ms. Vulpe would be so reckless as to marry you."

Cedric was speechless.

"She was forced by you, wasn't she?"

Cedric, stung by his words, glared at Bernard.

"Absolutely not. I won her over with my charm, that's why she agreed to marry me."

Bernard paused, took a good look at him, and even though his expression didn't change, Cedric felt insulted.

"Bro, what's with that look? Are you looking down on me?"

Bernard didn't reply, just turned away and headed towards the elevator. Cedric quickly caught up with him.

"Bernard, now that I'm married to Hailey, shouldn't you consider me your brother-in-law?"

At this, Bernard halted.

He turned to face Cedric, eyes fixed on him.

"What did you just say?"

"Is there something wrong with my logic?"

Bernard gave him a deep look in response to Cedric's challenge.
