Hailey laughed.
"You're such a dunce, who on earth would only ever love one person?"
She had once loved her ex-husband, Austin Zimmer, and then fell for Cedric.
She had room in her heart for two people at once, let alone fickle ones like Cedric.
"I don't believe in forever love, I only believe in stable marriages."
"You were born to be free, not tied down, you can't give me the kind of marriage I want."
"Even if I go back to you now, our endgame would still be a total mess."
"I don't want to become a wreck again, let our good memories stay in my heart forever."
Her and Cedric, they never really had good days.
Even though when they were together, Cedric treated her well.
Even after they broke up, some unpleasant things happened, but that's just life.
Two people who were once in love, are bound to have some troubles and setbacks, you can't just label him as an unforgivable bad guy, right?
Hailey and Cedric were complete opposites. Cedric wanted her back, but Hailey wanted a stable future, a future Cedric can't give her.
At least in Hailey's mind, she didn't believe that Cedric would give her a future where he is forever loyal and only loves her.
Cedric held her hand tightly, gazing at her for a long time, then weakly rested his forehead on her shoulder.
"Hailey, what do I need to say, what do I need to do, for you to believe me..."
He really didn't understand, he had made his intentions clear, told her he loves her, wants to marry her, why is it still not enough.
He felt extremely exhausted, a feeling he had never experienced before, it was worse than death...
"I know, you've let go of me, I'm not in your heart anymore, that's why you're rejecting me so gently, but I'm really upset..."
