A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 831

"Dr. Yeager, you sure you wanna booze up with me?" Cedric leaned against his chair, chin slightly lifted with a look of disdain towards Yeager. After pouring the drinks, Yeager put down the bottle, a harmless smile on his face.

"Mr. Laurence, you chicken out?"

Cedric snorted, "Me, scared?" He was a regular in the party scene, Yeager drinking with him was like asking for trouble.

"Well, if you're so brave, down this glass." Yeager's words were clearly a challenge.

Cedric's face shifted from indifference to anger, "Who are you to tell me to drink?"

Seeing Cedric getting heated, the corner of Yeager's mouth curled up, "Mr. Laurence, it's just a drink, no need to get so worked up." He added, "If you need a reason, let's say it's to settle the score from last time."

Settle the score from last time? Clearly a jab at Cedric for bowing his head to him over a girl. Cedric couldn't stand it, he was about to get up and punch Yeager when Bernard spoke up.

"If Dr. Yeager asks you to drink, you drink. What's with the getting up?"

Cedric swallowed his anger and sat back down. When he looked up again, his eyes held a hint of restraint.

"Dr. Yeager, didn't anyone ever tell you, before you make someone else drink, you should take a sip yourself?" he asked coldly.

"Really?" Yeager retorted, getting no response, he calmly picked up the bottle and poured some into his glass. "Then I'll have one first."

Just as Yeager was about to drink, Cedric knocked on the table, "Fill it up."

Yeager didn't argue, just nodded and put down his glass, picked up the bottle and filled it up.

"This booze is from the club, it's quite strong, can you handle it?" Hailey was a bit worried.

"I can." Yeager said with a warm smile, then took his glass and downed it in one.
