A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 836

Chapter 836

Even though she knew Yeager Alis wouldn’t exactly be thrilled about Cedric Laurence’s visit, she still let him upstairs. If Yeager found out…

Seeing it from Yeager’s perspective, Hailey felt she was being a total jerk. She quickly pushed Cedric away, creating some distance between them.

“It’s chilly tonight, I’ll get a blanket for him, and then I’ll leave”

Cedric went over to the sofa, casually grabbed a throw blanket, and covered Yeager with it. He was so unceremonious that he ended up covering Yeager’s entire face with it. Hailey glared at Cedric, moved the blanket off of Yeager’s face, and opened a window for ventilation before leaving

Seeing that she had no intention of staying overnight, Cedric’s gloomy face regained a bit of color.

They walked through the complex, one in front of the other, their silhouettes growing more and more distant under the dim streetlights.

Cedric, the one in front, would slow down every time he took a turn, waiting for the shadow behind him to catch up before continuing on

After exiting the complex they should have each driven their own cars, but Cedric knocked on Hailey’s window as she got into her car.

“I’ve had a few drinks, I can’t drive Mind giving me a lift?”

“How did you get here, then? Hailey glanced at him.

“I didn’t see any cops on the way”

“It’ll be the same going back

Hailey ignored him, buckling up and starting the car.

Cedric’s hand reached in from the window, quickly pressing the unlock button.

Before Hailey could react, the back door was already open

Hailey’s car was quite small, so a bulky man like Cedric looked quite comical sitting inside

“Didn’t buy you a car? Why are you still driving this clunker? I’m practically squished.”

Cedric complained as he slouched in his seat

“If you think its cramped, you can drive your own car”

His sports car wasn’t exactly spacious either, it was probably less roomy than hers.

Hearing Hailey suggest he drive his own car, Cedric stopped complaining

Halfway through the ride, Cedric, who was clearly uncomfortable, couldn’t help but grumble: “Next time, drive the car I gave you. This one’s a junker.”

Through the rearview mirror, Hailey glanced at Cedric

“I’ve already returned the car you gave me, along with everything else, to your house”

Cedric had been overseas after their fallout and didn’t know Hailey had sent everything back.

Hearing this, his heart clenched, and his face, which had previously softened, gradually hardened with anger.

“Hailey Vulpe, are you treating my house like a dump now?”

What did she think he was? An ex–boyfriend who nitpicked over everything? Or did she think he couldn’t afford these things? Or did she look down on the things he had given back?

“I just want to put an end to everything”

“End?”

Cedric scoffed.

“How? By having Eleanor Schultz and Bernard divorce? Or by cutting ties with Eleanor?”

Hailey felt Cedric was talking nonsense, so she turned to glare at him.

“What does Eleanor have to do with any of this?”

“Of course she matters! As long as they’re around, we can’t avoid meeting. And if we meet, we can’t end things”

What kind of twisted logic was that?

Hailey ignored him, turned back to the road, and focused on driving

Cedric, sitting in the back, adjusted his fie in annoyance.

“If you really want to end things with me, then return the skills you learned in bed”

“How do I return that?”

This was ridiculous. How could you return a physiological response? Was he out of his mind?

“I don’t care how, but you have to return them”

Cedric, ever the obstinate one, didn’t care whether his demands were reasonable or not.

“Cedric, don’t push me to hit you”

The first time they met, she accidentally bumped into him, and he insisted she pay him two thousand bucks. He was so childish then, and four years later, he was still the

same
