Chapter 1434

All the pride, excitement, and joy that Cedric felt evaporated the moment he heard Bernard’s cold interruption.

“Bernard, that’s low, I don’t want to talk to you, I-” But before he could finish, the call was abruptly ended, and Cedric’s heart went from cold to boiling with rage in an instant.

“To hell with Bernard, wait till he has a kid-I’ll make sure to come up with the most hideous nickname I can think of for his kid!”

Grumbling under his breath, Cedric put down his phone and continued to wait outside the maternity ward, flowers in hand, for Hailey.

On the other end, Bernard hooked a smirk as he pocketed his phone and looked towards his wife Eleanor, who was eyeing him with surprise. “What?” He asked.

Eleanor, resting her chin on her hand and tilting her head, sized up Bernard, “I never knew my husband had a mischievous streak.” Bernard leaned in, rubbing his nose against hers with a playful gesture, “Just figuring that out now, aren’t you a little late?” Inhaling the faint scent of cedar from his clothes, Eleanor smiled, “Kinda feels like walking into the lion’s den.”

Wrapping an arm around her, Bernard pulled her closer for a kiss. “How about we walk into that den again tonight?” Eleanor was left speechless.

By the time their private jet touched down at the hospital, Hailey had already been moved out of the delivery room. Relatives and friends came in waves to congratulate Cedric and Hailey.

When Bernard and Eleanor entered the hospital room, it was filled with flowers and gift boxes, most of which were from the Laurence family.

Hailey was resting on the hospital bed, taking small spoonful of the soup that Cedric was feeding her, and smiling at the baby Veronica was cradling.
