A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1233

Hailey felt that telling Eleanor through text or a call wasn't formal enough. She planned to wait until Cedric got home and tell Eleanor in person. Just then, Hailey saw headlights shining past the window, followed by the sound of tires rolling on the ground.

After a while, Cedric got out of the car. He was tall and handsome. This was the first time Hailey had waited for her husband to return home. She was a bit nervous, but she didn't let it show. She just got up from the sofa and walked towards Cedric.

Cedric took off his coat and tie, intending to hand them to the maid, but Hailey took them with practiced ease, just like what a wife would do.

Seeing Hailey like this, Cedric, who had been feeling down because of Bernard, felt his spirits lift.

"You don't have to do this," he said, taking the coat and tie from her and tossing them to the maid. Then he took her hand and they went to the dining room.

Seeing that the food on the table was untouched, Cedric knew that Hailey had been waiting for him. He felt warmed by the thought.

"You should eat first if I'm late again," he said. Hailey was pregnant with his child, and he didn't want her to go hungry.

Actually, Hailey hadn't been waiting for him on purpose. She just didn't have an appetite. But seeing how touched Cedric was, she didn't tell him the truth.

Once Cedric had helped her sit down, Hailey put a slice of steak onto his plate. He was very touched by this gesture.

"Honey, you're so good to me," he said. Actually, Hailey just wanted him to try the steak to see if it was too salty. She had seen the maid put too much salt in it.

Cedric had no idea about this. He happily ate the steak and smiled at Hailey.

"Even though the steak is salty, I'll finish it because you gave it to me..." Hailey felt a bit awkward when she heard this and looked down at her plate.

After dinner, they each went to take a bath, then changed into their pajamas and went back to the master bedroom.

Just as Hailey was about to turn off the light, Cedric stopped her. He opened a drawer and took out a safety deposit box.

He entered the password in front of Hailey, opened the box, and gave all the bank cards inside to Hailey.

"Honey, this is all my money. I'm giving it all to you," Cedric said.

Looking at the bank cards, Hailey felt a bit stunned. Her ex-husband Austin Zimmer had tried every trick to prevent her from getting his money, but Cedric had given her all his money just like this.

Hailey knew Austin could not compare to Cedric, but the difference between the two men was too great in her heart.

She stared at the bank cards for a long time, then took them and put them back in Cedric's safe.

"I have money. I don't need to use yours," she said. Her income from the nightclub was high enough to last her a lifetime. She didn't need Cedric's money.

Cedric didn't care whether she was wealthy or not. He had given her all his property without reservation.

"Whether you need it or not, I want to give it to you," he said.
