A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 790

Hailey was taken aback when she unexpectedly spotted Cedric Laurence in her line of sight. Mixed emotions swirled within her, but she reminded herself that she was now with Yeager.

Yeager enveloped her in a comforting hug before opening an umbrella to shield her from the rain. With his assistance, he guided her into the car and drove her to the villa.

As Hailey stepped out of the car, she bid farewell to Yeager from the front of the villa. Just as she was about to enter, Yeager called out to her, causing her to pause.

That kind of nervousness that was usually associated with youth, Yeager was displaying it right in front of her.

He looked like a pure-hearted high school boy...
