A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 953

Cedric was prepared to take action and teach Peterson a lesson but was stopped by Veronica. "Peterson, you probably haven't explored much of A City. Why don't you let Sigrid take you out and show you around?"

Peterson feigned indifference and withdrew his sympathetic gaze. "This is my first time here, and I haven't had much chance to explore. Would Ms. Laurence be willing to show me around?"

Sigrid immediately stood up. "I'll take you to the seaside then."

Peterson politely agreed and prepared to leave. Cedric also stood up. "I'll come along too."

Veronica grabbed his sleeve and pulled him back onto the sofa. "Sigrid, you take Peterson. I have something to discuss with your brother."

Sigrid looked at her brother's grim face, wondering why he had such a strong aversion to Peterson. But in this situation, they had to save face for Peterson; otherwise, he would think they lacked manners.

Sigrid gestured a 'please' to Peterson. "Peterson, let's go. I'll drive you around."

Only then did Peterson walk out. When they reached the door, he couldn't help but look back at Cedric. "Is your brother okay with this?"

Seeing Peterson pointing at his own head, Sigrid awkwardly smiled. "He had an illness when he was young. Don't mind him."

After Sigrid and Peterson left, Veronica dropped her smile and looked at Cedric coldly.

"What's your problem?"

"I have issues with him."

Veronica didn't believe that.

"Are you still upset about Chase?"

"No."

After saying this, Cedric picked up his coat and left.

Watching his retreating figure, Veronica sighed deeply.

Cedric didn't look back, just waved his hand.

He took the keys to the sports car from the valet, quickly got in and drove towards Chase's villa.

Chase had taken on Will Webb's case, planning to help Will and Tyler Howell with their lawsuit.

He had just returned from B City and was planning to discuss the case with Liana tomorrow. He was at home right now.

Entering the villa, Cedric walked into the living room and was immediately hit by the strong smell of red wine.
