Chapter 984 Bernard was a bit out of his element, but remembering Eleanorâs advice, he gently spoke up âWhat if you just let them date for a while, see how I goesâ
If it wasnât Bernard on the other side. Cedric would have exploded by now âYouâre terrible at comforting so just sit quietly with me for a bitâ
Bernard lowered his head, thinking seemingly unable to find any soothing words, so he shut up.
After a while, he couldnât help but speak again âIf they date for a bit and realize theyâre not a good fit, theyâll break up naturally. Then you can try to patch things up with Ms. Vulpe again, itâll be much more effective than bothering her nowâ
For the love of God please stop talking.â
Though Bernardâs words werenât exactly comforting, they were the truth After understanding the whole story, he believed that sooner or later, Yeager would screw up in an unforgivable way.
After all, a leopard cant change its spots, Cedric didnât need to be so anxious.
Bernard glanced at the gummy candies on the bedside table, took one out, and put it in Cedricâs hand.
âThe tighter you try to hold onto something, the more it ships away. Just let go, and it might just come back on its ownâ
Cedricâs head hung low as he examined the orange gummy candy a bitter smile forming on his lips âEver since we broke up. Iâve been the one begging for reconciliation, and not once has it worked. What does that tell you?â he sighed, his grip tightening around the candy.
Gradually. Cedricâs emotions seemed to settle, and he continued, âIt tells me she never loved me. And someone who doesnt love me is never coming backâ
Bernard remained silent, observing Cedric attentively, his hand supporting his chin as he tilted his head slightly.
After a moment of contemplation, Cedric gazed at the candy for a while before finally looking up at Bernard.
âDo you think I did something wrong?â he inquired, seeking Bernardâs perspective Bernard blinked, his bright eyes displaying a deep understanding, and he prepared to offer his thoughts âYes, you didâ
Cedric looked at him, puzzled.
âWhat did I do wrong?â
âI told you a long time ago, donât mess around with women you donât really like.â
But he accepted everyone How could Ms Vulpe, an orphan longing for a stable family dare to be with him?
Looking into Bernardâs clear and bright eyes, Cedric seemed to understand something .
âSo it was my past behavior that made her not love me.â
âShe didnât dare.â
Didnât dare?
Whatâs there to fear in loving someone?
Cedric didnât argue, he just felt that Hailey didnât love him for who he was So, Cedric, it was time to wake up if she didnât love him, let her go gracefully.
With this thought, Cedric unwrapped the candy and put it in his mouth. Although it was sweet, it had a bitter taste.
After finishing this candy, he would let go of Hailey, and their messy painful past Swallowing the bitter candy, he put aside all the emotions he shouldnât have, lifted his head, and smiled at Bernard âI promise you, Iâll work hard like you from now on, no more fooling around.â

He seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, his words becoming more mature than before Bernard looked at Cedric like this for a while, then followed up on his words.
âIf you want to work hard, then learn management with me from now on.â
He thought it would take a bit of persuading but Cedric didnât resist at all and just nodded âOnce I can move, you can give me more workâ
Bernard knew be wanted to use work to numb himself, so it wouldnât hurt so much, just like he once did...
Thinking about the time when he was down and out, how Cedric was always there, caring for him, Bernard put his hand on his shoulder âYouâll get what you want, just be patientâ
He gently patted Cedricâs shoulder âAnd the person who hurt you, Iâll make sure he paysâ
With that, Bernard stood up and left.
Aidyn, waiting at the door, handed hum a wet towel.
âMr, Laurence, Dr Yeager is at Lianaâs hospital*
Bernard nodded slightly, and with a group of bodyguards, headed straight for the hospital and called Yeager into the deanâs office
