Chapter 1228 Bernard gave him a cold glance and said indifferently as he walked into the office building, âIâm not interested in your good news.â
His aloof personality was something Cedric had long gotten used to. He shrugged it off and quickly caught up with Bernard, âGuess where I went yesterday, bro?â
âI donât know,â Bernard replied coldly, stepping onto the stairs, âAll I know is youâve been neglecting the Lawrence Group for Ms. Vulpe.â
Cedric had been busy and hadnât been to the company for a while, he felt a bit guilty about it, âIâll be punctual in the future, bro. I promise I wonât miss out.â
After making that promise, he leaned in towards Bernard and whispered, âWanna know why?â
Bernard, finding him annoying, replied with a chill, âDid you finally get Ms. Vulpe to fall for you?â
Cedric praised Bernard for his intelligence and grinned from ear to ear, âNot only did I win her over, but sheâs also not leaving now.â
Bernard, who had already figured out the good news, played along and asked, âHow can you be so sure sheâs not going anywhere when you havenât brought her home?â
Cedricâs smile widened at the returned question, âIâve married her. We just registered our marriage yesterday. What do you think, shocked?â
Expecting Bernard to be surprised after keeping the big news a secret for so long, Cedric was taken aback when Bernard didnât even bat an eyelid.
âBro, are you not surprised at all?â
âSurprised.â
âI knew it!â
He figured Bernard must be used to keeping a poker face.
Just as he thought this, Bernard turned to look at Cedric.
âIâm surprised that Ms. Vulpe would be so reckless as to marry you.â
Cedric was speechless.
âShe was forced by you, wasnât she?â
Cedric, stung by his words, glared at Bernard.
âAbsolutely not. I won her over with my charm, thatâs why she agreed to marry me.â
Bernard paused, took a good look at him, and even though his expression didnât change, Cedric felt insulted.
âBro, whatâs with that look? Are you looking down on me?â
Bernard didnât reply, just turned away and headed towards the elevator. Cedric quickly caught up with him.
âBernard, now that Iâm married to Hailey, shouldnât you consider me your brother-in-law?â
At this, Bernard halted.
He turned to face Cedric, eyes fixed on him.
âWhat did you just say?â
âIs there something wrong with my logic?â
Bernard gave him a deep look in response to Cedricâs challenge.
âDo you want to die, or want to be expelled from the Laurence family?â
âCan I choose neither?â
Bernard tilted his head slightly, staring at Cedric in a way that gave him the creeps.
âI take back what I just said. Pretend you didnât hear it.â
Cedric, a master at playing dumb, then pressed the elevator button and with a smile, gestured for Bernard to step in.
Bro, you said you wanted to have a meeting with me, right? Come in.â
ohly Only then did Bernard shift his gaze and step into the elevator.
There was still one piece of news he hadnât shared with Bernard and keeping it to himself made Cedric a bit uneasy.
He stealthily cast a glance at Bernard who was standing like a statue in the elevator.
Given the choice between being scolded by Bernard and suffocating with a secret, Cedric didnât hesitate to choose the former.
âBro, I have another piece of good news. Hailey is pregnant. Iâm going to be a dad!â
Bernard had anticipated the marriage news but the pregnancy was a shocker.
âIs it from that time?â
âYes.â Cedric confidently patted his chest.
As if telling Bernard, see, I hit the bullâs eye, cool right?
Bernardâs handsome face gradually turned sour.
Aidyn, who married later than him, was going to be a dad.
2 Cedric, who married even later than Aidyn, was also going to be a dad.
Whoâd be next, Caleb?
Or would everyone else get pregnant and then hit him with the good news?
Seeing Bernardâs gloomy face, Cedric cheerfully nudged him with his elbow.
âBro, if it wasnât for you convincing mom to apologize to Hailey, Iâd probably still be at home fighting with them and wouldnât know about the baby.â
Bernard gave him a look and ignored him. Cedric didnât see that. He continued his words.
âHow about this, to thank you, Iâll let you name the baby?â
Bernard scoffed, âThe baby isnât even born yet, we donât know the gender. What name should I give?â

Cedric didnât mind at all, âThen you can come up with one for a boy and another for a girl, right?â
Bernard looked at him impatiently, âDo you really want me to name them?â
Cedric, âOf course!â
Without giving it a thought, Bernard said, âIf itâs a boy, name him Boy Laurence. If itâs a girl, Girl Laurence.â
Cedric responded, âAre you kidding me? Youâre way too casual about these names!â
