A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 995

Hailey's eyes were filled with mixed emotions, slowly slipping into disappointment. "Ever since we started dating, there were only two instances - once in B City, and now. All the other times, Cedric has kept his promise, avoiding me whenever he sees me, never bothering me. But you always suspect that he's hanging around me, does this mean that in your heart, you also think I'm a person who can't make up her mind, is that it?"

The voice struck Yeager's heart like a hammer, making him feel a sense of guilt. "It's not like that. I believe in your character, and I know you have been rejecting Cedric.

Yeager let go of her, raised his bloody hand, and held it out to Hailey. "Hailey, you know what, under Bernard's oppression, all I could do was resist..."
