Chapter 963 Hailey stepped out of the dressing room, Cedric was already nowhere in sight She let out a sigh of relief and headed towards Yeager Yeager introduced her to some of his friends, and they all got along well However, when Hailey came out of the restroom, she heard people talking about her to Yeager âDr. Yeager, your girlfriend is a nightclub owner. That doesnât seem like a very respectable job. Do your parents approve?â
âYour info is incomplete. Dr Yeagerâs girlfriend isnât just a nightclub owner. Sheâs also a divorcee.â
âWow, I would never have guessed sheâs been divorced Does she have any kids?â
âWho knows? Maybe she had a kid, maybe she had an abortion, or maybe she left the kid with her ex. Sheâs a real looker, so she probably uses her looks to snag wealthy men, not burden herself with a kidâ
Heaning these words, Hailey felt uncomfortable.
Normally. Yeager would have stepped in to stop such talk, but today he chose to remain silent He was still bothered by Cedric grabbing Haileyâs wrist, so he was a bit distracted.
In reality, he wasnât a petty guy, it was just that Hailey was always resisting his advances.
Many times, he wanted to get closer to Hailey, but she would always find an excuse, tactfully turning him down.
But Hailey didnât resist Cedric the same way, this contrast made him uncomfortable His silence only encouraged the others to gossip louder Hailey glanced at Yeagerâs back. Although he didnât participate in the gossip, his silence was equally disappointing She hesitated for a few seconds, then mustered up the courage to chime in âSure, Iâm divorced, childless, and I own a nightclub. I make over a hundred million a year, I donât need to depend on wealthy men.â
Her words silenced the crowd.
Yeager finally snapped back to reality and got up to stop Hailey from leaving âSorry, they donât know the whole story and said those thingsâ
âThey donât know? Donât you know either?â
Hailey shook off Yeagerâs hand and turned to leave.
Yeager, afraid of losing Hailey, quickly followed As they left, a golf ball suddenly flew by The man who was just gossiping about Hailey was hit hard in the chest by the ball.
He clutched his chest, gasping for breath, and looked in the direction the ball came from Against the light stood Cedric, holding a golf club on his shoulder.
âSorry, my badâ
His words were an apology, but his actions were clearly provocative.
The man wanted to confront him but was held back by his friends.
âThatâs Cedric from the Laurence family. Heâs notorious for being a tough guy, donât mess with him.â
Hearing Cedricâs name, the man could only swallow his pain and bear it silently.
Yeager caught up to Hailey at the dressing room door and started explaining âHailey, Iâm really sorry I was lost in thought and didnât realize what they were saying. If I had, I would have stopped them.â
After several rounds of golf, Yeager was indeed distracted Hailey was a bit angry but still concerned about him. She frowned and asked:
âWhat were you thinking about?â
Yeager gripped Haileyâs shoulders tightly, staring into her eyes, hesitating before finally speaking âI was thinking about your and Cedric. It seems like...
He stopped short, unable to continue.
Hailey immediately understood when she saw his reaction.
Iâm Gorry I keep my distance from him in the futureâ
As his girlfriend being caught by her ex would naturally bother anyone, right?
Thinking like this, Hailey understood his feelings and apologized to Yeager. After all, she was the one who had upset him âHailey, you donât have to apologize itâs my fault for not protecting you in front of my friends.â
Hailey shook her head.
âThere will always be some conflicts between us. As long as we talk it out, itâs okayâ
Her forgiveness allowed Yeager to breathe a sigh of relief.
âHaley, youâre so goodâ
He stepped forward to hug her and naturally lowered his head to kiss her.
Hailey instinctively wanted to resist, but when she saw Yeagerâs pleading eyes, she gave in.
The sight of a man and woman kissing against the wall fell into Cedricâs eyes...
He found it hard to accept and took a step back.
Hailey...
Cedric always thought that Hailey was still around, even if she had a boyfriend, she was still there.
He thought Hailey was just playing hard to get with him and thatâs why she was with Yeager. Her heart was still with him.
