Chapter 836 Even though she knew Yeager Alis wouldnât exactly be thrilled about Cedric Laurenceâs visit, she still let him upstairs. If Yeager found out...
Seeing it from Yeagerâs perspective, Hailey felt she was being a total jerk. She quickly pushed Cedric away, creating some distance between them.
âItâs chilly tonight, Iâll get a blanket for him, and then Iâll leaveâ
Cedric went over to the sofa, casually grabbed a throw blanket, and covered Yeager with it. He was so unceremonious that he ended up covering Yeagerâs entire face with it. Hailey glared at Cedric, moved the blanket off of Yeagerâs face, and opened a window for ventilation before leaving Seeing that she had no intention of staying overnight, Cedricâs gloomy face regained a bit of color.
They walked through the complex, one in front of the other, their silhouettes growing more and more distant under the dim streetlights.
Cedric, the one in front, would slow down every time he took a turn, waiting for the shadow behind him to catch up before continuing on After exiting the complex they should have each driven their own cars, but Cedric knocked on Haileyâs window as she got into her car.
âIâve had a few drinks, I canât drive Mind giving me a lift?â
âHow did you get here, then? Hailey glanced at him.
âI didnât see any cops on the wayâ
âItâll be the same going back Hailey ignored him, buckling up and starting the car.
Cedricâs hand reached in from the window, quickly pressing the unlock button.
Before Hailey could react, the back door was already open Haileyâs car was quite small, so a bulky man like Cedric looked quite comical sitting inside âDidnât buy you a car? Why are you still driving this clunker? Iâm practically squished.â
Cedric complained as he slouched in his seat âIf you think its cramped, you can drive your own carâ
His sports car wasnât exactly spacious either, it was probably less roomy than hers.
Hearing Hailey suggest he drive his own car, Cedric stopped complaining x **
Halfway through the ride, Cedric, who was clearly uncomfortable, couldnât help but grumble: âNext time, drive the car I gave you. This oneâs a junker.â
Through the rearview mirror, Hailey glanced at Cedric âIâve already returned the car you gave me, along with everything else, to your houseâ
Cedric had been overseas after their fallout and didnât know Hailey had sent everything back.
Hearing this, his heart clenched, and his face, which had previously softened, gradually hardened with anger.
âHailey Vulpe, are you treating my house like a dump now?â
What did she think he was? An exâboyfriend who nitpicked over everything? Or did she think he couldnât afford these things? Or did she look down on the things he had given back?
âI just want to put an end to everythingâ
âEnd?â
Cedric scoffed.
âHow? By having Eleanor Schultz and Bernard divorce? Or by cutting ties with Eleanor?â
Hailey felt Cedric was talking nonsense, so she turned to glare at him.
âWhat does Eleanor have to do with any of this?â
âOf course she matters! As long as theyâre around, we canât avoid meeting. And if we meet, we canât end thingsâ
What kind of twisted logic was that?

Hailey ignored him, turned back to the road, and focused on driving Cedric, sitting in the back, adjusted his fie in annoyance.
âIf you really want to end things with me, then return the skills you learned in bedâ
âHow do I return that?â
This was ridiculous. How could you return a physiological response? Was he out of his mind?
âI donât care how, but you have to return themâ
Cedric, ever the obstinate one, didnât care whether his demands were reasonable or not.
âCedric, donât push me to hit youâ
The first time they met, she accidentally bumped into him, and he insisted she pay him two thousand bucks. He was so childish then, and four years later, he was still the same
