Chapter 1181 Cedric listened to Eleanor, and Eleanor listened to Hailey If he could convince Hailey then he would control the narrative. Whatâs there to be afraid of?
Once he sorted out his thoughts, Cedric mustered up the courage, hung up the phone and turned around Just as he turned around, at that split second, Bernard, who had quick reflexes, swiftly opened the car door-
The moment the master bedroom door was opened, Eleanor turned her head. Before she could make out what was coming out, her eyes were covered by a big hand Then, a cold yet pleasant voice was heard in her ear âDonât look, otherwise youâll go blindâ
Eleanor, whose eyes were covered, chuckled Her husband must be worried about her seeing Cedric in a halfânaked state, right?
The thing was if looking once would make her go blind, what about Hailey...
Upon seeing Cedric, Haileyâs face turned beet red She rushed over, pushing Cedric back into the room while scolding him, âI told you to stay put, why did you come out?!*
Cedric frowned. Iâm not some kind of monster. Why canât I come out? Besides...
Before he could finish, he was shoved back into the room by the surprisingly strong Hailey.
After closing him in, Hailey took hold of the door handle and turned to face Eleanor and Bernard.
âWe didnât do anything last night, you believe us, right?â
Bernard looked at her expressionlessly...
Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Hailey quickly changed the subject. âEleanor, how about we go sit in the living room?â
Upon hearing this, Eleanor quickly peeked out from between Bernardâs fingers. âSure-â
Hailey thought Eleanor would say, âwe wonât bother you today, weâll take off,â but instead, she said, âsure.â
Helpless, Hailey could only cover her face and walk downstairs. âFollow me...â
Watching her hurried departure, Eleanor couldnât help but chuckle. âHoney, Iâll talk to Hailey for a bit and then we can leave. You wait for me in the car...â
Bernardâs cold eyes remained fixed on the master bedroom door. âYou go. Iâll wait here for Cedric to come outââ
Hearing this chilling voice, Cedric decided he wouldnât come out no matter what-
In the living room, Eleanor and Hailey sat on the couch, exchanging glances.
After a moment, Eleanor spoke first. âDid you make up with Cedric?â
Haileyâs continual blush returned as she awkwardly chuckled. âWe didnât make up, I just... accidentally drank too much, and then...â
Eleanor understood and nodded âHow do you feel?â
Misinterpreting Eleanorâs question as asking about the sexual experience, Hailey quickly waved her hands. âItâs nothing special, just a little uncomfortable after a few times...
Eleanor was speechless for a moment.
Laughing, she shifted in her seat. âI meant, did Cedric say he wanted to marry you?â
With sudden clarity, Haileyâs face turned red again. âHe did...â
Seeing her like this, Eleanor couldnât help but laugh. âHailey, this is the first time Iâve seen you so shy...â
Of course, Hailey would feel shy.
What was supposed to be a secret oneânight stand became public knowledge. How was she supposed to face that?
What Hailey didnât know was that it wasnât just a few people who knew, but almost all of their friends Otherwise, she would have been extremely embarrassed Watching shy Hailey, Eleanor felt the gloom of losing Liana slowly dissipating. âHailey, if Cedric proposes, would you accept it?â
Mentioning this. Hailey hesitated âActually, for adults, a oneânight stand isnât a big deal. We donât need to get married because of it, right?â

Her words clearly carried a hint of rejection Hearing this, Eleanor advised her, âYouâve seen what happened to Liana and Tyler Howell Those two people who loved each other, both ended up passing away itâs such a tragedy I think, if you have Cedric in your heart, donât reject him anymore.â
The current Cedric was much different from before. He had matured, become rational, and took responsibilities. He was devoted to Hailey, just like Liana said, he was actually really good.
Mentioning Liana and Tyler, the blush on Haileyâs face faded, replaced by regret. âMr. Laurence and I donât have any deep grudges. We wonât end up like Liana and Tylerâ
Cedric wasnât Tyler. He didnât have that kind of madness, nor would he hurt her. At most, he would just say a few sarcastic words when he was angry, acting childish She wasnât Liana either. She hadnât experienced the pain of being hurt by someone she loved. The most she felt was sadness when Cedric tried to provoke her with other women.
In reality, their relationship wasnât passionate, but plain. Thatâs why they wouldnât end up like Liana and Tyler....
âBut if you two end up as strangers, thatâd be a pity too, right?â After Eleanor finished, she tentatively added, âOf course, if you donât have feelings for him, then there wouldnât be any regrets.â
Unlike Liana, Haileyâs feelings were always obvious. Eleanor could see through her in an instant. She could feel that Cedric was in Haileyâs heart.
But Hailey was afraid. She didnât dare to entrust her future life to Cedric. But life is short, why waste so much time hesitating?
