Chapter 994 Upon entering. Hailey noticed that Yeager appeared somewhat nervous, standing up with an expression as if he had committed a grave mistake, looking utterly bewildered. âHailey, did Dr. Terrill tell you everything that happened today?â Yeager initiated the conversation, surprising Hailey, who had expected him to act nonchalant âMhm,â she nodded, approaching Yeager âAre you waiting here to tell me something?â
Hailey wanted to hear Yeagerâs explanation of the situation Yeager didnât go into detail but simply said, âLiana told the truth I did indeed use Garett Falsey to taunt Bernard Laurenceâ
Upon hearing this, Hailey fell into deep silence before speaking. âBernard came to see you not to meddle in our affairs but because his brother was treated unfairly and ended up in the emergency room due to distress. He just wanted to clarify the matter with you. From the beginning, he told you that he wanted a fair resolution and even allowed you to suggest the solution yourself. He did that in the hopes of getting an apology from you for the misunderstanding, but you chose to retaliate with Garett Yeager lowered his head and questioned, âCedric Laurence was the one who harassed you first. The person who should apologize is him, not me Why should I apologize to Bernard?â
Looking directly at him, Hailey replied, âYouâre right, Cedric was indeed in the wrong initially. However, you could have been firm and, when Bernard asked for a solution, suggested that Cedric apologize to you first. I believe Bernard is a reasonable person, even if he isnât, he would agree to your request for my sake. But instead, you chose to provoke Bernard with Garett. Do you think that by doing so, you can stop Bernard from seeking justice for his brotherâs mistreatment, while also standing on the moral high ground to condemn all three of them for their past actions?
Yeager opened his mouth but found no words to refute. He had indeed wanted to stand on the moral high ground and condemn those who wielded power and influence Seeing his silence, Hailey calmed down and said gently: âYou know, Garett and Eleanor are the closest people to me in this world. Weâve shared many years together, missing out on much due to misunderstandings Itâs a regret. But now Eleanor and Bernard are married, which means their issues have been settled. But you still use Garett to mock Eleanorâs husband, did you ever think about how awkward this makes me feelâ
As she spoke, a hint of doubt flashed in Haileyâs eyes. âDo you truly love me?â
If he really loved her, he should have defended her when his friends badmouthed her, right?
If he really loved her he should have thought about her feelings before doing or saying anything, right?
However... it seemed like Yeager didnât do that He was just fighting with Cedric A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

ï¤Chapter 1765 (END)
Hearing her doubts, Yeagerâs heartbeat quickened, he quickly held Haileyâs shoulders and said, âHailey, I truly love you. Donât question my feelings for you because of this. I admit part of why I did this was to challenge authority, but I didnât consider how it would bother you, how it would affect your feelings. That was my mistakeâ
He took Haileyâs hand and placed it on his cheek, âOr how about this, you hit me a few times, let off some steam?â
Last time when he seemed weak and helpless, Hailey had been soft hearted and forgiven him. But this time, Hailey remained unmoved and asked, âHow did you know Cedric was harassing me?â
Except for that time at the hotel when Cedric mistakenly thought they were sharing a room and angrily barged in to harass her. After that incident, Cedric hadnât bothered her again. It was only when they bumped into each other on the golf course and Cedric saw her kissing Yeager that he lost it and came after her again. But Yeager wasnât there at the time, how did he know?
Asked by Hailey, Yeager felt a bit uneasy and looked away. The kiss on the golf course was actually on purpose. He knew Cedric hadnât left, so he deliberately kissed Hailey Only in this way could he prove that he was better than Cedric, and he guessed that Cedric would bother Hailey because of the kiss.
Sure enough, the next day. Cedric had a car accident. Seeing Haileyâs anxious expression, he felt jealous but had to pretend to be generous and told Hailey to rush to the hospital to see Cedric He followed her to the hospital with some gifts, just to provoke Cedric Cedric had once made it impossible for him to find a lawyer for a lawsuit. They had a grudge against each other, so he wouldnât let him off easily.
But how could he tell Harley all this? Yeager made up an excuse. âI saw it by accident....*
Hailey kept pressing. âWhere did you see it?â
Unable to answer, Yeager quickly changed the subject, âCedric is so in love with you, he must be harassing you all the time. I donât need to see it to know itâs happeningâ
