A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 728

Eleanor turned to Cedric with absolute honesty and said,

"When I threw the bouquet, it was Hailey who caught it first. But your girlfriend shoved it out of Hailey's hands to suck up to your sister. If you don't believe me, ask your sister."

Eleanor meant to clear things up from the get-go to prevent Cedric from hearing just one side of the story. It's just that they got held up by the older folks of the Laurence family for a bit.

After saying her part, Eleanor chuckled, "Also, after your sister shoved the bouquet back to Hailey, Hailey immediately returned it to your girlfriend. Your girlfriend didn't want it. I don't know why she refused it only to ask you for it later."

Cedric's handsome face darkened at this revelation. When he looked at Hertha, there was a coldness in his eyes.

Wasn't it said that she swallowed her pride and asked Hailey for the bouquet, but Hailey refused, saying she wasn't worthy?

Hertha felt his gaze and immediately looked downcast. She said, "I misunderstood Hailey. I thought she didn't want to give it to me."

As she finished, she looked at Cedric, almost on the verge of tears.

"Cedric, remember how my ear got messed up when I saved you last month? I must've misheard, which caused this misunderstanding."

Cedric frowned and didn't say anything else.

His silence meant he was hesitant.

Hertha knew Cedric's personality well, so she didn't bother explaining further.

Sometimes, saying too much could make things worse.

Hertha knew what Cedric was thinking. She chuckled to herself but maintained a cool exterior and bowed in apology to Eleanor and the others.

"I'm sorry, my ear had problem. I didn't mean to cause any misunderstanding."

"I have the best ENT specialists in my hospital, who are internationally renowned. You should come check it out."

Liana copied Hertha's demeanor, smiling, but her words were sharp, piercing through her lies.

Hertha was so angry, she was almost suffocating. She was about to have her lies exposed, and her grip tightened around the bouquet.

She tried to control her temper, but the man standing behind the bride was staring at her with his sharp eyes.

"Give the bouquet back to Ms. Vulpe."

Bernard was always the quiet type, never one to engage in women's squabbles. But he wouldn't let anyone off easily if they bullied his wife's friends.
