Chapter 1016 Cedric, as soon as Chase was out of the door, turned to his assistant and snapped, âYou get your ass to F Country right now and look up someone called Bernice.â
Janice was about to say something, but was cut off by a cough from Ableson. There were definitely some secrets between them, secrets that even Yeager didnât know about.
If it was really like that, then Hailey was really unlucky. Cedric pondered carefully. After all, they were acquaintances, and even if she didnât love him, he couldnât just watch her fall into trouble. Now he understood that impulsiveness wouldnât bring any benefits but rather make him vulnerable to manipulation.
He should learn from Bernard, approach matters by investigating the facts, gathering evidence, and then revealing the truth through others.
Hailey sat in her car, gazing at her house, suddenly feeling reluctant to go inside.
Once she entered, Marina would undoubtedly ask her about her date and when she planned to get married.
The idea of marriage had become a tremendous pressure for her, and she couldnât understand why it had turned out this way, especially when she thought she was ready to remarry.
With a deep sigh, Hailey started the car and headed towards Fiord Roundabout.
While waiting at a traffic light, she rolled down the window for some fresh air and unexpectedly caught sight of Cedric.
He was sitting in the passenger seat and had also rolled down his window.
They exchanged a brief glance, which felt somewhat awkward.
Cedric looked at her for two seconds, then quickly averted his gaze, rolled up the window with seamless motion.
Hailey blinked her eyelashes slightly, then turned her head to look ahead at the red light.
This was the result she wanted, but when he truly treated her like a stranger, she felt somewhat sad. Hailey smiled to herself. She never expected that one day she would become so sensitive. Initially, Cedric had intended to go to Fiord Roundabout, but upon seeing Hailey heading in that direction as well, he instructed the driver to change the route.
Hailey glanced at the rearview mirror, seeing the luxurious car making the turn, and her expression subtly changed, though she didnât show any emotional response. This way, itâs probably for the best.
Meanwhile, Eleanor had been busy completing the design drawings left by Emilia. When she heard Bryson say that Hailey had arrived, she paused her work.
Chapter 1016 It was the weekend, and Nina was at home, happily playing on the living room carpet with the servants.
Hailey walked in and saw that Nina had gained a few more pounds, looking like a little ball of flesh, sitting crossâlegged on the carpet. She went over and tried to pick up Nina but couldnât. manage it. âHow much has Eleanor been feeding you? Youâve put on quite a bit!â
Nina felt a bit embarrassed and covered her chubby face. âOh, Iâm just growing taller, so itâs natural to gain a little weight. When I grow up, Iâll be as slim as you guys.â
Hailey gently touched her chubby belly. âWho knows how long itâll take for you to grow up...â
Nina raised her hands and gestured in front of Halley. âIf I get fat for another ten years, Iâll be grown up...â
Hailey couldnât help but chuckle, pinching her cheeks. âYouâre still cute like this.â
Nina tilted her head and grinned, âMy teacher says Iâm cute too. Looks like heâs not lying about being my future husband.â
Hailey widened her eyes in surprise, âWhat future husband?â
âHer homeroom teacher,â Eleanor chimed in, coming down the stairs with a smile. âShe says she wants to marry him when she grows up.â
âThatâs quite something! Thinking about marriage at such a young age.â
âYeah,â Eleanor agreed.
She stood in front of the two and patted Ninaâs head. âIf it wasnât for the fact that her teacher is handsome, she wouldnât want to marry him.â
Nina imitated the way adults do and snapped her fingers, âEleanor got it right! Itâs because heâs handsome that I want to marry him!â
Hailey pretended to put on a serious expression and told Nina, âYou need to change that mindset. Just because someone is goodâlooking doesnât mean heâs a good person.â

Nina thought for a moment and retorted, âTrue, not all goodâlooking people are good, but not all ugly ones are bad either. So, Iâll choose a handsome bad person. At least he wonât be unpleasant to look at.â
Hailey went speechless.
Eleanor burst into laughter. âShe has a whole bunch of theories. You canât outâargue her
