Chapter 992 The three of them were chinwagging at the restaurant, and Yeager went to apologize to Cedric Cedric, lying in his hospital bed shot a cold glance at Yeager as he entered and then turned his gaze to the window Yeager had thought that, like last time Cedric would lose control when he saw him.
But this time, Cedric was so cool, it looked like Hailey had straightened it out with him. He was probably over it for good.
Yeager walked up to him and just said. âSorryâ
He didnât specify what he was apologizing for, but Cedric got it His eyes were calm, no ripples, he just looked at Yeager with indifference âIf I were you, I wouldnât apologize even if you broke my leg Why apologize? Isnât that just lowering his own status?
âIn front of power, the ones who know the score are the clever ones. Iâm different from you, I have people to take the fall for me.â
Yeagerâs silence provoked a scoff from Cedric âYouâre Haileyâs boyfriend. Even if you donât submit, Bernard wouldnât really harm you. You know this, right?â
Yeagerâs expression shifted as he realized Cedricâs assessment was accurate. Bernard wouldnât actually take any significant action against him due to his respect for Hailey The apology was likely a result of being compelled to do so in person However, in the past, Yeagerâs envy and jealousy were sparked when he witnessed Bernard utilizing his CEO status to seek justice for his brother. As a result of these irrational emotions, he used Garett to provoke and mock Cedric Looking back, Yeager understood that if he had focused solely on Cedricâs obsession with Hailey, regardless of the means he employed, it would have been justified. Bernard wouldnât have had a reason to force him into an apology. However, the mention of Garett complicated matters.
Yet, when Yeager observed the contempt in Cedricâs eyes, his feelings of regret vanished, and he shifted the blame onto Cedric, believing it was Cedricâs fault.
If not for Cedric, how could he have said those words to provoke him, or put on a show in front of Hailey, let alone apologize to Bernard it was all Cedricâs doing!
âIf you hadnât been so hung up on Hailey, I wouldnât have misunderstood you. Bernard wouldnât have come after me, and I wouldnât have had to apologize to you.â Cedricâs eyelids slowly dropped âIâve been trying to make amends long before you two were together... Iâm used to it...When she agreed to be with you, it was because she was mad at me. I always thought she had feelings for me, so I deliberately used you to set me off, trying to win her back. After this incident, I realized she doesnât care about me at all. I misunderstood.â
Cedric spoke honestly and calmly looked at Yeager.
âSorry for disturbing your girlfriend twice It must have made you uncomfortable. But donât worry, I wonât bother her anymore...â
Yeager didnât expect Cedric to admit his mistake so directly and apologize to him.
His behavior from the beginning was wrong Apologizing as Bernard suggested was the right thing to do....
As for the initial idea of taking drastic measures against Yeagerâs family, Cedric gave up on it after Hailey talked to him.
He felt it was unnecessary. In the future, he and Hailey would go their separate ways. How she and Yeager live is none of his business.
But.. Cedric couldnât help but give a piece of advice.
âDr. Yeager, sheâs been married before and betrayed. Sheâs a bit afraid of marriage. The fact that she could move on and marry you means she trusts you a lot. Please, be good to her After saying this, he picked up the paper bag on the bedside table and gave it back to Yeager.
âShe bought candy to explain things to me You take it back for her. I donât need it...â
Haileyâs act of buying so much candy served as a reminder for Cedric to set clear boundaries. When he returned the candy, it symbolized an end to their previous relationship dynamic However, Dr Yeager didnât fully grasp the significance behind Cedricâs actions. He simply accepted the bag of candy and observed Cedricâs pale expression silently In response, Dr. Yeager pointed out that on the day Cedric got so upset that he ended up in the emergency room, it was evident that he still cared about Hailey Dr Yeager questioned why Cedric was giving up on their relationship so easily A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

ï¤Chapter 1765 (END)
itâs possible that Cedric used returning the candy as an excuse, employing a strategy of retreating to ultimately advance and demonstrate his magnanimity âIf she loved me, I wouldnât give up His words implied that only by realizing Hailey didnât love him could he regain his sanity âYouâre right if she loved you, she wouldnât be with me. You should let go sooner. Itâs a kind of release for you because...â
Yeager paused, hands in his pockets, looking down at Cedric from above.
âA guy like you, with a background, good looks, a hacker genius, the title of playboy suits you betterâ
