A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 819

Veronica sighed helplessly as she watched him walk away.

Why were her brothers such a handful?

First, it was Bernard. He'd tried to kill himself four times, nearly scaring her to death. Now it was Cedric's turn.

And the other brothers were always a pain in the neck too.

At the airport, Yeager bought a bottle of water, opened the cap, and handed it to Hailey, who was waiting in the departure lounge.

"Thanks."

Hailey took the water.

Yeager sat down next to her, sneaked a few glances at her, then plucked up the courage to ask her.

"Hailey, I stopped you from answering Cedric's question twice. You're not mad at me, are you?"

Hailey shook her head, not saying anything.

Seeing this, Yeager felt guilty and apologized to her.

"I'm sorry, Hailey. I just didn't want him to take you away, that's why..."

"I know, it's okay..."

Hailey gave Yeager a slight smile, her expression nonchalant.

Seeing her smile, Yeager felt a weight lift off his chest. He had been playing these mind games just to keep her around.

Hailey saw through Yeager's intentions, but she understood his perspective as well. Any current boyfriend would be sensitive about ex-boyfriends, especially after Cedric's confession in front of Yeager.

"Don't worry, Cedric won't bother me anymore after this," Hailey assured Yeager. Having been together for three years, she knew Cedric well and could sense his disappointment in her.

However, Hailey remained unfazed. Cedric and Hertha were happy together, and she and Yeager were also content. Choosing the right person was the key to happiness.

After experiencing betrayal in her previous marriage, Hailey's heart grew stronger. Loving herself became a priority, protecting herself from further hurt. Putting oneself first was the right choice, regardless of others' opinions.
