Chapter 1052 Hailey put down her cup, her face as calm as still water She looked up at Yeager sitting across from her âBefore we start drinking. Iâve got three questions for you Cool?â
âHuh?â
Yeager also put down his glass, staring at Hailey âWhat are your three questions?â
Hailey whipped out her phone and played a recording for Yeager to hear.
Yeagerâs face turned gloomy the moment he heard the recording âHailey, did you record this?
Did she start the recording on her phone when she had gone to the bathroom?
If that was the case, Hailey wasnât as simple as she seemed Hailey was taken aback that Yeagerâs first reaction was to suspect her instead of realizing his own mistake She laughed, her eyes brimming with confidence, like a view shrouded in mist- blurry yet captivating Tve got no clue who recorded it for me, but Iâm grateful. It showed me how you and your parents really think of meâ
Hearing her words, Yeager panicked, reaching out to grab her, but Hailey dodged him âYeager, what did you mean by how can I give up without getting her?â
Seeing the disappointment in Haileyâs eyes, Yeager knew that she might propose to break up after he answered the three questions.
He no longer denied the authenticity of the recording, but picked up the scissors on the table and snipped the wick of the aromatherapy candle.
The light on the table brightened, and the scent got stronger He stared at the flickering candlelight for a while before turning his gaze to Hailey âI like you and want you Itâs my instinct, and I believe Cedric feels the same wayâ
Hailey asked him a question, but he redirected the conversation to Cedric, obviously trying to distract her If she couldnât see through Yeagerâs tricks before, now she saw it crystal clear âTve told you, Cedric and I have cut ties Why do you keep bringing him up?â
âIf you really cut ties, how did you get this recording?â
Yeagerâs counter question caught Hailey off guard.
âYou suspect Cedric recorded it?â
Yeager gave Hailey a glance, picked up his glass, and took a small sip âHe probably knew in advance that I was going to introduce you to my parents, so he deliberately stalked us and seized the opportunity to record the conversation. Then, he waited for the right moment to send it to you from an unknown numberâ
Listening to Yeagerâs explanation, Hailey had to admit it seemned plausible that Cedric might act that way However, having been with Cedric for three years, she was certain he wasnât the type of person to act in such a manner âStop making baseless assumptions about Cedric He isnât like you, always scherming behind peopleâs backs.â
This was the first time Hailey had ever defended Cedric so resolutely in front of Yeager Yeagerâs grip on his glass tightened noticeably The veins protruding on the back of his hand were a testament to his simmering rage.
âFrankly, youâre just upset because you canât get Cedric out of your headâ
Yeager was adept at diverting the topic, and the old Hailey had been unable to see through his tactics Now, however, she found his behavior laughable.
âNo matter what you say, I trust my own judgment based on what I see and hearâ
Her voice was even and emotionless, as if she was ready for a breakup and had nothing to fear anymore A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)
