A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1220

Chapter 1220

“I promise you, whether it’s Hertha, Norene, Judith, or any other woman – I’ve cut them all loose. No more drama from now on.”

Even if other women come after him, he’ll steer clear, give them zero chance. He’ll even wear a mask when he goes out if he has to.

Facing a sincere and promising Cedric, Hailey shook her head, “But I don’t trust you.”

In the process of building trust, she was always defeated by the women around Cedric.

Right now, all she had from Cedric were promises, no sense of security.

It was hard for her to trust him, and she didn’t want to choose to trust, only to experience the pain of disappointment again and again.

Her disbelief left Cedric frozen in place. After staring at Hailey for a while, he coldly said, “So, you’re still considering abortion?”

Hailey lowered her head, her silence was affirmation in Cedric’s eyes.

“Hailey, I wish I could just open up your heart and see what’s inside.”

Even after clearing up misunderstandings, she was still so cold. It just showed that she didn’t really love him.

With that thought, every breath Cedric took was painful.

The heartache made him slowly let go of Hailey.

“If you want an abortion, go ahead. I swear, even if I die, I won’t look at you again.”

After saying that, he took a step back. His bloodshot eyes glanced at Hailey one last time before he turned around and left.

As his figure disappeared behind the operating room, Hailey leaned on the side of the operating table and slowly squatted down.

Outside the ward, Marina saw Cedric storm off and immediately pushed the door open and walked in.

“Hailey.” Marina squatted down, putting her hand on Hailey’s shoulder.

“After all, it’s your child. Don’t give it up just because you’re having issues with Cedric.”

Ms. Shultz wanted a child but couldn’t have one, Hailey was lucky to have one and should cherish it.

Hailey hugged her knees tightly, burying her head in her arms. She was surrounded by fatigue and pain.

“Marina, am I a coward?”

Seeing Hailey curled up in front of her, Marina opened her arms and held her.

“Cedric is actually much better than most affluent heirs. It’s just your past experiences that make you afraid to trust him.”

Marina gently patted her back.

“I understand you, but Hailey, life is short. If you take things easier, you will feel stronger.”

She had issues with Cedric too. Since he was with Hailey, he should go public with their relationship. Why was he still hiding her?

Just for that, Marina looked down on Cedric. But after what happened with Yeager, she realized the surface doesn’t tell the whole story, what’s inside matters most.

Although Mr. Laurence was a hedonistic young man, he wasn’t a bad person. He was just young and not very steady, but people grow

“Hailey, please give Mr. Laurence a chance to change, and also give yourself a chance to build trust. Don’t rush to abort the baby, you might regret it.”

While Hailey was still hesitating, Cedric suddenly rushed in.

Without considering their reactions, he picked Hailey up.

He put Hailey in the car and then took out an agreement and handed it to her.

“Marry me. After the baby is born, if you want to stay, stay. If not, you can leave anytime within a year.”

What he’s saying is, he just wants the baby. Because of Marina’s words, Hailey, who was wavering, suddenly stood firm.

“I won’t have this baby.”

Cedric clenched his hand holding the agreement.

“I’m the father, I have the right to decide.”

After saying this forcefully, he grabbed Hailey’s hand, disregarding her resistance, and forced her to sign the agreement.

“Now, whether you want to have this baby or not, it’s not up to you.”

Cedric put away the agreement and quickly started the car.

Hailey in the passenger seat turned her head and glared at him angrily.

“Cedric, can’t you respect me?”

“I’ve respected you plenty. What did I get in return?”

Cedric, equally angry, glared back at Hailey.

“Why do you get to decide whether to have our baby?”

He was about to become a father, which should be a joyful thing. But all he felt was anger.

“Let me tell you, Hailey. Whether you like it or not, I want our baby to be born healthy!”

The determination in his eyes stunned Hailey. She’d never seen him like this and felt a bit lost.

Cedric drove quickly and took Hailey home. After parking the car, he opened the passenger door, picked her up, and took her to the

master bedroom.

“Get everything ready. We’re going to register our marriage.
