Chapter 1214 â...â
Hailey wanted to say it wasnât love, she just liked him, but when she tried to voice it out, she stopped. If it wasnât love, why would she care about his previous encounters with other women, something she never cared about before?
Seeing her unsure about her own feelings, a warm smile appeared in Garettâs eyes.
âHailey, donât be too scared when it comes to feelings. If you care about him, muster your courage once more.â
Hailey used to be fearless when it came to love, but perhaps her ex-husbandâs betrayal and meeting Cedric made her hesitant in love.
But in Garettâs eyes, all the efforts are brave for love. If it were him, he wouldnât hesitate at all. Even if he failed, he could start over. However...
He doesnât have the chance to start over.
Hailey didnât notice Garettâs thoughts, she clenched her fists, for the first time revealing her innermost feelings in front of someone else.
âI once mustered up my courage for him, but when I bravely took that step, I found out he did something to wrong me. I backed away, got scared, decided never to love him again. But today, he told me what I saw was a lie created by others, that woman came to explain to me as well, I donât know if I should continue to believe him...â
Garett got it instantly.
âHis past actions make you feel insecure, so you donât him.â
The issue itself isnât the key, the key is Cedricâs image. Hailey, who already experienced a failed marriage, was hesitant to fully commit to a new relationship.
The reason sheâs like this is because she loves Cedric. If it were anyone else, like Yeager, Hailey wouldnât care if Yeager had other women before, she wouldnât be bothered by it.
âYes, his past actions... make it hard for me to trust him...â
Garett thought for a bit, he looked at Hailey, who seemed to have no sense of security at the moment.
âHas he changed for you?â
Hailey carefully recalled. Cedricâs change, from a gentle playboy at first to a wealthy heir, not only did he make her jealous with other women, he also insulted her verbally from time to time. Other changes include him starting to like her. Though, after she encountered difficulties, Cedric became more mature....
âIf heâs willing to change for you, give him another chance. If he hasnât changed at all, then give up. But the premise is, you have to give it a shot to know the result, right?â
Seeing Hailey remain silent, Garett expressed his own thoughts.
Hearing Garettâs words, Hailey looked down at her ring.
âMaybe, youâre right.â
Hearing this, Garett knew she made her decision, he lightly smiled.
Then, he picked up the book that he never flipped before, and started reading.
Seeing Garett reading again, Hailey knew he was once again under the control of depression.
She stopped peeling the apple, stood up and walked over, lightly tapping Garettâs shoulder.
âGarett, once youâre recovered, there will be many girls who like you.â
Garett looked up from his book, he casually looked at Hailey, a small smile on his face.
âIâm too old to bother those young girls.â
His words were light, but his deep eyes were full of loss and helplessness.
âGarett, no matter your age, you deserve to be loved.â
Such warm words made Garett feel the warmth of companionship, but he preferred to be alone.
âHailey, Iâm a bit hungry.â
Only then did Hailey check her watch.

âI almost forgot about that.â
She put on her coat as she spoke to Garett.
âWait a bit, Iâll be right back.â
After Hailey left, Garett picked up the book once more, staring blankly at the words on the page.
