Chapter 1046 Through the expansive window, Peterson observed as the pair outside diverged into separate paths. He gave the drink in his hand a gentle swirl, remarking. So, theyâve finally chosen their different roadsâ
Bernard trailed his gaze, casting a glance through the window There was a slight change in his expression, though it wasnât unexpected âMy sister has always been firm about her desires,â he noted, his voice carrying a hint of admiration and perhaps, resignation âShe relentlessly pursues what she wants and once itâs no longer necessary, she doesnt falter in letting go- be it material possessions of emotions.â
Peterson raised his glass in a nonchalant toast, taking a subtle sip A hint of a smile traced his lips. âYou knew Iâd witness this scene, yet you still chose this venue Whatâs your angle?â
He was, after all, in the midst of discussing a possible marriage alliance with Sigrid Under such circumstances, wouldnât it have been more prudent for Bernard to shield her past?
âAnything hidden is bound to be revealed sooner or later I would prefer that you learn about this from me rather than from a less reliable source.â
Bernard asserted.
His gaze drifted back to the window, focusing on the figure making its way to a car.
âAs for whether you want to continue with the marriage after knowing this, thatâs up to you,â
Petersonâs smile deepened âMy decision isnât what matters, itâs all up to your sisterâ
With that, Peterson gave Bernard a thoughtful look âHonestly, I quite like your attitude. Itâs just a shame youâre a manâ
Bernard scowled disgust flashing in his eyes Seeing this, Peterson burst into laughter.
âIâm just messing with you, I donât have a specific preference for gender.â
Bernard set his glass down heavily on the table, his face cold âThe last person who claimed they didnât have a gender preference ended up falling for my wife.â
Peterson suddenly became interested, leaning forward slightly âWhoâs got the guts to make a move on your wife?â
Bernard, lounging on the sofa, shot him a cold glance but didnât answer Peterson wasnât upset. He muttered to himself, âI guess your wife must be quite a looker. Is that why youâre keeping her hidden and not letting me see her?â
Bernard heard what Peterson was implying, but he didnât care and had no intention of explaining.
He withdrew his cold gaze and stood up. âYouâll see her after you marry Sigridâ
Interesting To meet Bernardâs wife, heâd have to marry his sister first. Talk about a catch.
Watching Bernardâs carefree figure, Peterson couldnât help but smirk.
In the box downstairs, Chase didnât return. Only Sigrid did.
When Cedric saw this, he knew they hadnât made up He greeted Eleanor, then grabbed his coat to look for Chase.
He thought Chase would have driven off, but found him sitting on the slope, staring up at the sky.
Cedric sat down next to him. âDid you tell her everything?â
Chase nodded Cedric asked, âDidnât my sister forgive you?â
Chaseâs eyes were red, tinged with pain âShe forgave me.â
Signd had forgiven him, but she no longer loved him.
Cedric was about to ask more, but Chase cut him off âIf you really have feelings for Ms. Vulpe, donât wait until things have settled down to find her.
Over time, your feelings might fadeâ
Cedric was taken aback, then said firmly. âI donât have feelings for her anymore.â
Chase chuckled âReally? Why donât you ask your heart?â
Cedric thought Chase was uding him as a punching bag because he couldnât win back Sigrid He got up to leave but heard Chaseâs voice behind him.
âIf youâve investigated Bernice, give the evidence to Ms. Vulpe as soon as possible. Donât delay_ in his life, hed lost the woman he loved. He didnât want his only friend to end up like him. âAnd after you win back Ms. Vulpe, remember to convince your parents. Donât let her end up like me After saying this, Chase got up and left His lonely figure made Cedric feel like he could collapse at any moment.
But he continued to move forward, step by step, without any intention of looking back Maybe even if he did look back, no one would be there waiting for him anymore âWhat are you planning to do?â
Chase didnât answer. He just raised his hand and waved it dismissively It seemed to suggest that life is long and everything is determined by fate Thereâs no use struggling, just go with the flow Cedric lowered his head, looking at his own reflection at his feet, deep in thought Chase and Signd were once in love, but he and Hailey never were Their life paths wouldnât follow Chase and Signdâs because there was no touching love sto butween them He pulled out his phone and opened the photos his assistant had sent For a moment, he thought about taking these photos to Hailey, but his previous experience sobered him. Even if he took the evidence to Hailey would she believe him?
Cedric was wary of taking risks, he was caught in a conundrum. He feared that if Hailey didnât believe him, it would be tragic, yet, if she did believe him and forgave Yeager, the pain would be unbearable Unexpectedly, he felt a sense of inferiority in front of Yeager, a doctor whom he deemed worthless. The roots of this inferiority complex lay in his interactions with Hailey A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
