A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 805

Hearing about her upcoming split with Yeager, Cedric's anger simmered down a bit.

He stared at Hailey for a moment, then lifted his arm to pull her back into his embrace.

Just like finding a lost treasure, he held Hailey tight, unwilling to let go.

"Hailey, after you break up with him, let's get back together like before."

"I promise, it'll be just you and me. If you're willing, I'll take you to meet my…"

Meet my parents, propose to you. He didn't finish his sentence, but the woman in his arms gently shook her head.

"No, I won't get back together with you."

His hand, wrapped around her waist, suddenly stiffened.

Cedric looked down at the woman in his arms, "What do you mean?"

"Can't you hear me?"

Hailey, without any fear, looked up at him.

"I won't get back with you, I won't have another boyfriend, I will live alone for the rest of my life."

No need for any man, just earn a good living, buy a nursing home later, and have someone take care of her in her old age. That sounds pretty good.

As an orphan who nobody cared about, she's meant to not have a home, meant to be alone, meant to be lonely to the old age.

Hailey pushed Cedric away hard, his face devoid of any emotion, as if his spirit was sucked out in an instant.

"You…"

Cedric didn't expect her to be so firm, rather not having a boyfriend than getting back with him. Does she really not want to be with him?

"Hailey."

He took a step forward, closing in on Hailey.

"You've rejected me again, remember, there won't be a next time of me begging you to get back together."
