Hailey followed his finger's direction and looked down at her pajamas. When she was with Cedric Laurence, he threw away all her old clothes and sent a bunch of custom-made outfits every other week. Her wardrobe was filled with clothes, bags, and jewelry he bought, with new designer items arriving whenever they were released. There were so many of them, and Hailey, who had been accustomed to frugality since she was young, couldn't bear to throw them away, so she continued to wear these clothes. Now, being reminded, she seemed to realize that after breaking up, she should return her ex-boyfriend's things, but why didn't she think of returning them before? After realizing this, Hailey's expression suddenly changed.
"When I go back, I'll return everything you gave me," she said hurriedly, closing the door as if she didn't want to look at Cedric again.
Cedric propped his foot against the door frame, pushed it open with his hand, and walked in sideways. Hailey took a step back when she saw him entering. It might have been a defensive move that angered Cedric. He grabbed her wrist and pushed her against the wall. With great strength, Cedric held her hands behind her back and pressed against her, his lowered nose repeatedly brushing against Hailey's luscious red lips.
Unable to move her hands, Hailey kicked Cedric with her foot. In the struggle, their lips accidentally met his face several times. It was just a few light touches, but Cedric felt an electric current passing through. However, being angry at the moment, he didn't think about it in that way at all. He glared coldly at Hailey, who was resisting relentlessly, and used his long and slender legs to tightly clamp down on her wild struggles.
"Cedric, what are you trying to do?" Although she hadn't done anything with Cedric, how could she explain it to Yeager if he saw them like this?
Cedric freed one of his hands and firmly grasped Hailey's cheek, bringing her beautiful and radiant face up to his eye level.
"I asked you a question, and you haven't answered me yet."
He stared at Hailey's red lips, his mind consumed by thoughts of their past intimacy, and his fury grew at the idea of those lips being touched by another man.
"Tell me! How does it feel to be with Yeager Alis? Is it better than being with me?!" His voice was laced with anger and jealousy.
Their time together in bed had been passionate and exhilarating, and he believed that no one could surpass him. Hailey's ex-husband was a fool who didn't know how to satisfy a woman. Now that she was with Yeager, Cedric questioned whether he could understand her better than he did. But what did understanding matter?
He had been the one to teach Hailey all her skills in bed, including her seductive expressions. The woman he had meticulously trained would now lie beneath another man and use those skills to seduce him. How could she? How could Yeager Alis?
The more Cedric thought about it, the angrier he became. He lowered his head and bit Hailey's red lips. "Have you had a relationship with Yeager Alis? I don't mind."
He didn't mind if she had been with someone else before and then had a relationship with him. Cedric didn't mind at all! With all his might, Cedric bit Hailey hard, causing tears to flow from her eyes. She stared at Cedric, in pain and anger. This man must be insane; otherwise, how could he be completely irrational?
After biting her, he grabbed her cheeks and tried to kiss her. He kissed her so fiercely, as if he wanted to consume all the air from her mouth, refusing to let her go. If he had enough hands, Hailey dared to bet that Cedric would strip off her clothes in the next second!
"Hailey, are you ready? I'm waiting for you..."
Worried that the noise outside would disturb the surgery, Yeager connected his noise-canceling earphones to Hailey's phone. He only took them off when he spoke to Hailey and put them back on when waiting for her reply. The surgery was still in an unstable stage, and he needed to anticipate any potential emergencies through the medical records on the phone. Removing one earphone, he shouted outside, but when no one responded, he got up and walked towards the bathroom.
