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. “Sorry”

He didn’t specify what he was apologizing for, but Cedric got it

His eyes were calm, no ripples, he just looked at Yeager with indifference

“If I were you, I wouldn’t apologize even if you broke my leg

Why apologize? Isn’t that just lowering his own status?

“In front of power, the ones who know the score are the clever ones. I’m different from you, I have people to take the fall for me.”

Yeager’s silence provoked a scoff from Cedric

“You’re Hailey’s boyfriend. Even if you don’t submit, Bernard wouldn’t really harm you. You know this, right?”

Yeager’s expression shifted as he realized Cedric’s assessment was accurate. Bernard wouldn’t 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, Yeager’s 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 Cedric’s obsession with Hailey, regardless of the means he employed, it would have been justified. Bernard wouldn’t have had a reason to force him into an apology. However, the mention of Garett complicated matters.

Yet, when Yeager observed the contempt in Cedric’s eyes, his feelings of regret vanished, and he shifted the blame onto Cedric, believing it was Cedric’s 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 Cedric’s doing!

“If you hadn’t been so hung up on Hailey, I wouldn’t have misunderstood you. Bernard wouldn’t have come after me, and I wouldn’t have had to apologize to you.” Cedric’s eyelids slowly dropped

“I’ve been trying to make amends long before you two were together… I’m 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 doesn’t care about me at all. I misunderstood.”

Cedric spoke honestly and calmly looked at Yeager.

“Sorry for disturbing your girlfriend twice It must have made you uncomfortable. But don’t worry, I won’t bother her anymore…”

Yeager didn’t 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 Yeager’s 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 couldn’t help but give a piece of advice.

“Dr. Yeager, she’s been married before and betrayed. She’s 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.

“She bought candy to explain things to me You take it back for her. I don’t need it…”

Hailey’s 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 didn’t fully grasp the significance behind Cedric’s actions. He simply accepted the bag of candy and observed Cedric’s 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

it’s possible that Cedric used returning the candy as an excuse, employing a strategy of retreating to ultimately advance and demonstrate his magnanimity

“If she loved me, I wouldn’t give up

His words implied that only by realizing Hailey didn’t love him could he regain his sanity

“You’re right if she loved you, she wouldn’t be with me. You should let go sooner. It’s a kind of release for you because…”

Yeager paused, hands in his pockets, looking down at Cedric from above.

“A guy like you, with a background, good looks, a hacker genius, the title of playboy suits you better”
