A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 791

Yeager saw Hailey staring at him blankly and realized he'd acted too abruptly, and quickly apologized.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

He shifted his gaze away from Hailey and awkwardly said, “It's late, you should head in and get some rest.”

As he turned to leave, Hailey grabbed his arm, “Yeager, give me a goodnight kiss.”

Yeager froze, unable to believe what he just heard, he turned back to look at Hailey.

She was standing on her toes, holding his arm, and kissed his lips.

Hailey's lips were soft, when she gently kissed him, Yeager’s eyes sparkled with joy. He didn't expect her to make the first move.

After a brief touch of their lips, Hailey let him go, “Goodnight.”

His face blushing, Yeager nodded, “Goodnight.”

She waved at him, “You should get going.”

Usually, Yeager would watch Hailey go inside before he drove away. But this time, he was too elated, obediently got into his car.

As he started the car, he rolled down the window, lingered on Hailey. Seeing her waving goodbye, he finally drove away.

After his car was out of sight, Hailey touched her lips.

She thought, first holding hands, then kissing. If things continue smoothly, she would let her guard down and be with Yeager.

She thought, maybe a second marriage would bring her warmth. After all, marrying someone who's been crushing on you for a long time, you're bound to be cherished.

An old lady at the orphanage once told her, women should marry men who love them, not men they love. That’s how they get spoiled by their husbands.
