A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1012

After getting a good grasp on Hailey’s past, Janice chuckled and said, “Ms. Vulpe, here’s the thing. I’m kinda nosy about Yeager’s affairs. He’s a total bookworm, only knows how to hit the books, totally clueless about the ways of the world and courting girls. Being his mom, I tend to fret a bit more.

Yeager was aware of Hailey’s past relationship with Cedric, but he hadn’t spilled the beans to his parents. Now hearing Janice say this, he was reminded of Hailey and Cedric’s past, a bit unsettled, but not feeling any disgust. “If she’s not innocent, your grilling won’t make her slip up. Why still doubt her?”
