A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1188

Latonia found it hard to understand Hailey, and Hailey didn’t plan to waste her breath trying to convince Latonia to understand her. Instead, she tried to see things from Latonia’s perspective and accepted her viewpoint.

“Mrs. Laurence, if I were in your shoes, I’d also be displeased with a woman who isn’t up to par with my son in every way. I get where you’re coming from, but please consider this it’s Cedric who wants to marry me, not the other way round. It’s better for you to talk to him directly. If he changes his mind about marrying me after talking to you, just give me a heads up I won’t bother him anymore. I’ll even steer clear of him if I bump into him in the future.”

Hailey’s heart was pounding like a drum after she finished speaking. This was probably the first time she’d stood her ground for Cedric. Even though she knew she wasn’t on his level and didn’t deserve him, she just couldn’t let go because he loved her and she loved him too, so she was trying her best.

After a while, Latonia looked at Hailey and suddenly laughed, “You just said you didn’t love my son, and now you’re saying you’re not forcing him to marry you. Seems like your feelings for my son are not strong. If that’s the case, why would you choose to marry him just because he really wants to marry you?‘

Latonia’s question was pretty deep, and Hailey found it hard to answer, so she lowered her head.

Seeing this, Latonia continued, “Regardless of your personal background, academic abilities, and everything else, I believe every mother hopes her future daughter–in–law would love her son wholeheartedly. You can’t even do that, so why should I convince my son?”

Hailey’s eyelashes trembled slightly upon hearing this.
