Chapter 818

Veronica observed the entire ordeal unfold from the sidelines. Once Yeager and Hailey departed, she approached Cedric and gently patted him on the back

“Cedric, you need to come to terms with reality Ms. Vulpe isn’t interested in you, she’s already involved with someone else. We can’t go around meddling in other people’s relationships, Veronica advised, hoping to instill some sense of reason.

Expecting Cedric to argue or protest Veronica was surprised when he simply nodded in acquiescence

“Alright,” Cedric replied his attempt to maintain composure indicating a sense of injustice he was experiencing

Veronica couldn’t help but feel a twinge of sympathy for Cedric, sensing that he believed himself to be on the receiving end of an unfair situation.

She couldn’t put her feelings into words, but thinking about the once cheerful Cedric, now…

She glanced at him and noticed him staring at the ground, trying hard to hide his emotions

“Don’t sweat it, life’s a long road, you’ll meet someone who’s right for you eventually”

“Really?”

Cedric looked up, his face returning to its usual expression

“I did give it my all, didn’t 17”

Veronica nodded, he really did try

She remembers when Cedric was a kid, small and skinny, always being bullied by his classmates.

He would always fight back, leaving those classmates black and blue

The school principal had to call in the parents, have the kids apologize to each other, and that was that.

But after the classmate apologized, he refused to apologize, even saying he’d only apologize over his dead body.

And now, that kind of guy was bowing his head to his love rival for the sake of wooing Ms Vulpe

That was truly rare

“If she doesn’t like me, then it is what it is, right?”

Veronica didn’t know how to respond

“If she doesn’t like me, then I don’t like her”

Veronica looked surprised at Cedric who was talking to himself

Whenever he faced problems, he always knew how to comfort himself, like just now when he rushed to apologize, all on his own accord.

His personality was completely different from Bernard’s. Bernard was good at controlling his emotions, Cedric was driven by them.

Those driven by emotions are bound to face setbacks

And Mr. Laurence had just experienced a setback in his love life

Veronica knew the more upset he was, the more nonchalant he would appear. She pondered a bit, then asked him:

“Cedric, do you remember when you were infatuated with Hertha? You had even mentioned wanting to marry her. If you still have that desire, I can help persuade your family How does that sound? Veronica offered, attempting to replace a potential solution for Cedric’s longing

Cedric had met Hertha during his youth, but Veronica held a dislike for the girl. In fact, Hertha had set her sights on Bernard, attempting to get close to him and even planning to drug him. The entire family was aware of this, but they chose to withhold the information from Cedric in order to preserve his favorable impression of his first

love

Later on, Hertha made a demand, insisting that Cedric marry her. Unfortunately, being a young man with little understanding of the gravity of marriage, Cedric agreed and subsequently found himself entangled in a web of complications.

Bernard was the first to object, saying that Cedric was only seventeen, not even an adult, how could he possibly get married

Cedric’s parents were also strongly opposed, they warned Cedric, if he dared to marry Hertha, they would break his legs.

The young couple was undoubtedly forced to break up by their families

At the time, Cedric didn’t have much of an emotional reaction, at least not like he is now constantly pestering Ms. Vulpe.

Veronica thought, Cedric had so many girlfriends, but Hertha was the only one he ever mentioned marrying

Getting married early might calm him down, so he wouldn’t bother Ms. Vulpe every day.

Those who are marned tend to settle down a bit.

Although this has a bit of a damn the torpedoes feel to it

Hearing Veronicas words, Cedric gave a poker face, “She tried to seduce Bernard, I know”

“How did you know? Veronica was startled, her eyes wide with surprise.

Everyone kept this secret deep within their hearts in order for him to remember the good parts of his first love, but he knew about it all along?

Cedric didn’t answer, just quietly watched in the direction Hailey had left

“Why would you want to get back together with Hertha knowing that?”

Why?

It was nothing but his own foolishness.

He wanted to make Hailey jealous, but realized that none of it worked

She didn’t like him anymore, no matter what he did, no matter how much he made a fuss, it was useless.

Thinking about this, Cedric let go. “I think I need to go abroad for a while”

With that, Cedric held his chest and walked towards the exit of the hotel.
