A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 1224

Cedric stared at the sleeping Hailey, his gaze lingering on her for a long while before he reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace from behind.

He knew he wasn’t a man of his word. His promises were often empty, not just because he never followed through, but also because he was prone to changing his mind.

However, he was the only one who knew that the moment he held her, his heart, filled with anger, fear, and anxiety, immediately calmed down.

He knew he loved Hailey more, so naturally, he had to bear more grievances than her.

But he was a man. He could take a little hardship, as long as he could hold her like this for the rest of his life…

Cedric held Hailey tightly and fell into a deep, peaceful sleep, dreaming of a happy family of three.

Hailey was jolted awake by the pressure. Cedric’s sleeping posture was terrible. His arms and legs were wrapped around her like a giant python.

She opened her eyes and struggled a bit, but he didn’t let go. Holding back her temper, she lifted her elbow and gently pushed the man behind her.

“Be quiet, I’m sleepy.”

His voice, husky and somewhat childish, made Hailey withdraw her hand. She turned over with some effort to look at Cedric, who was still asleep.

The sun outside the floor-to-ceiling window shone through the white curtains, casting a dappled light that illuminated his handsome face, making him look particularly attractive.

After staring at Cedric for a while, Hailey raised her hand and slapped his face lightly.
