A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 830

It's common courtesy to treat a friend's boyfriend with respect, and Hailey was no exception. She promptly asked Aidyn for a wet wipe and handed it over to Bernard.

"Please wipe your hands."

"Is Mr. Laurence a germaphobe?"

Bernard was poised to take the wet wipe when he caught sight of Yeager. With a brief glance in his direction, he accepted the wipe from Hailey and proceeded to clean his hands.

"Indeed, just a bit. I hope that's alright, Dr. Yeager," Bernard acknowledged, his tone courteous.

"No problem, I understand," Yeager responded politely, gesturing for them to proceed.

"Mr. and Mrs. Laurence, please come in," he continued, his demeanor noticeably formal, creating a slightly tense atmosphere, perhaps due to their first meeting.

To lighten the mood, Eleanor chimed in with laughter, reminding everyone that they were all friends and there was no need for unnecessary tension.

As they made their way towards the villa, Cedric lowered his car window, revealing his handsome face. Hailey turned around, surprised to see him there.

He sat lazily in the car, waving at her.

"Hey, Ms. Vulpe..."

He wore a casual smile, as if the previous conflict never happened.

Hailey was taken aback by his greeting, responded politely but didn't say much before walking away.

Watching her leave, Cedric's expression darkened.

He watched her for a few seconds, then turned the steering wheel.

Just as he was about to reverse and leave, he saw Yeager's hand on Hailey's waist.

His heart ached, a feeling that was incredibly annoying.

He slammed on the brakes and without hesitation, got out of the car and headed for the villa.
