A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1353

Before Cedric could lose his temper, Hailey grabbed his arm, peeking out from behind him. "So, that movie you did with the Hollywood actor was real?"

Antoine smirked, touching his nose. "What do you think…?"

Hailey guessed it was real, and Antoine snapped his fingers in approval. "Well guessed!"

Then Antoine's gaze landed on Cedric. "I must say, your husband is quite the looker. Just my type."

Hailey was about to ask how Antoine knew Cedric was her husband, but she noticed Antoine glancing at her belly before he left the room in his usual flamboyant style.

Antoine caught up with Bevis and Peterson, turning back to throw a flirtatious wink at Cedric. "Hey, my cousin Eleanor has my number. Give me a call, will ya?"

Cedric nearly gagged. "What a nutjob!"

Hailey, on the other hand, looked intrigued. "Honey, I wouldn't mind if you two got together."

Cedric cursed under his breath. "If I ever ended up with him, I'd rather castrate myself!"

Hailey pondered for a moment before responding. "Well, he might be gay, so even if you did...you could still be together."

Cedric was too exasperated to argue. Hailey took his arm, cooing gently. "Mr. Laurence, I'm just joking. Don't get mad."

Cedric couldn't resist Hailey's charm. Her innocence always melted him. He wouldn't dare get mad at her. He wrapped his arm around her waist, his tone authoritative. "Don't ever go chasing after those disgusting celebs again."

Hailey nodded, repeating her agreement three times. Only then did Cedric take her hand, the other carrying a casserole dish, and they entered the room.

Once inside, Hailey, full of excitement, approached Eleanor. "Eleanor, Antoine just called you cousin. Are you really related?"

Eleanor had overheard their conversation outside and nodded, handing Hailey a document. "So it seems."

After reading the document, Hailey patted Eleanor's hand with a smile. "Eleanor, no wonder you have such a beautiful face. It's in your genes!"
