A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 990
Word got around pretty fast that Bernard had a bone to pick with Yeager and Hailey got wind of it in no time
Eleanor, who was with her on a shopping and dining day out, offered to play peacemaker, but Hailey turned her down flat
She said. Yeager had stirred up this homet’s nest himself, so he should be the one to deal with it. Bernard wasn’t in the wrong for
standing up to him
Hailey’s mind was as clear as a bell It’s just that things between the two of them had progressed to the point where they were
talking marriage, so they had to keep moving
forward
Eleanor was more worried about Hailey’s mamage if this one went south too, Hailey might be scared off marriage for good
However, Hailey said Cedric wasn’t a great catch either Yeager might have hus issues, but Cedric was a playboy and that was
just as bad
Hearing this, Eleanor had to admit there was some truth to it. After all, what girl would want to roll the dice with Cedric? But
then.....
“Cedric once cned over you”
Hailey paused for a moment as she was picking up some food, then seemed to remember something and cracked a small smile.
“He once got up in the middle of the night in my tiny apartment, stepped on a mouse, and cried his eyes out.”
*For real?”
Hearing this juicy piece of gossip, Eleanor’s eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.
“A grown man, scared to tears by a mouse?”
“Yep, can you believe it?”
Hailey put a deboned fish into Eleanor’s plate.

“So you see, he’s just a big baby Crying doesn’t mean anything”
Just as Eleanor was about to stand up for Cedric, Liana rushed over
After taking a seat, Liana filled them in on what happened in the hospital director’s office.
Mr Laurence didn’t let her leave his office, obviously intending for her to be the messenger to tell Hailey what kind of man Yeager
really was
It was crystal clear what Mr. Laurence was aiming for, he wanted Hailey to reconsider her choices once she knew the real
Yeager.
She didn’t necessarily have to choose Cedric, but she definitely needed to think twice about Yeager. After all, marriage was a big
deal.
So, Liana spilled the beans, including everything that involved Garett
Hearing this, Hailey’s face clouded over. She hadn’t expected Yeager to drag Garett into this just to get back at Bernard.
Garett was family to her and Eleanor. Their past was long behind them, and Bernard had never played games with Garett. Even
though he’d once wooed Eleanor away, it was all fair game, he never stabbed Garett in the back
Bernard and Garett had been through a lot together, and in the end, they let each other go for the other’s sake. Eleanor was able
to start over with Bernard because they both stepped aside This was a far cry from their current situation.
Now Yeager was using Garett to mock Bernard, essentially denying Garett’s character and disrespecting Eleanor. And his words
‘didn’t you also fancy Eleanor back in the day, just like me? was a clear provocation towards Bernard
Hailey could understand Yeager using this tactic against Cedric. After all, Cedric was the one who started pestering her. But
Eleanor and Garett were the two people she cared about most, and she wouldn’t allow them to be used as ammunition for
someone else’s fight
“Mr. Laurence made it pretty clear, he just wants justice for his brother. He doesn’t give a hoot about what’s going on between
you and Dr. Yeager. This should have been dealt with separately. Dr. Yeager misunderstood Mr. Laurence, and an apology would
have sorted things out. But Dr. Yeager didn’t take this lying down, so he used Garett to mock Mr. Laurence. At first glance, those
two sentences Dr. Yeager said about Garett don’t seem to be a big deal. But if you think about it, it shows that Dr. Yeager doesn’t

respect or care about Garett, even knowing he’s your family. Because when he felt challenged, the first thing he thought of was
to use Garett, who could inock Mr. Laurence. to defend himself
Liana’s words were straight to the point, but they were also very truthful and clear. After she made her point, she patted Hailey’s
hand.
“Normally, since me and Will introduced you to Dr. Yeager, we’d naturally hope you two hit it off. But what Dr. Yeager said to Mr.
Laurence today changed my mind”
