A Second Chance at Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard)

Chapter 993
Yeager’s words were loaded with hidden accusations that made the bystanders cringe
“Mr. Laurence might be a ladies‘ man, but he’s always been faithful to each of his girlfriends, never cheating on them
Chase pushed aside the crowd and walked in with a proud and confident stride.
Yeager glanced at him, then turned his gaze to Cedric
“With so many girlfriends, dont you find it rather unfortunate?” he remarked
Upon hearing this, Cedric struggled to maintain his composure and attempted to stand up, but Chase placed a restraining hand
on him.
“Mr. Laurence simply enjoys dating women to pass the time, without engaging in any hasty entanglements, Chase explained,
taking a step closer to Yeager
“But in this aspect, Mr. Laurence still cannot match Dr. Yeager’s...”
Yeager’s face darkened, and he asked sharply. “What do you mean?”
Chase’s lips curled into a faint smile, and he replied, “Dr. Yeager, after graduating from high school, you immigrated abroad to a
society that is more open and sparsely populated Finding certain information there wouldn’t be too difficult”
His implication was that Yeager’s past could be easily uncovered with a little money, so it would be best not to stand on a moral
high ground to criticize others, as it might backfire on him.
Yeager clenched his fist but only said, ‘I fell for Hailey back in high school, and she’s the only person I missed after going abroad.
You’d better not confuse me with Mr. Laurence”
Chase did not refute, but instead nodded in agreement.
“You have a point, though...”
He stared at Yeager, scrutinizing him from head to toe.
“Are you saying that you’ve been in love with Ms. Vulpe since high school?”

Yeager didn’t understand his point, but answered firmly
Chase’s lip curled up slightly, his eyes filled with doubt
“Being in love with someone for such a long time shows your deep affection for her If you love her that much, why didn’t you find
her as soon as you got back? Instead, you waited until Dr. Terrill’s party to approach her. By then, you were already back for
quite a while. If you love Ms. Vulpe that much, why didn’t you find her right away and pursue her boldly?”
Yeager wanted to explain, but Chase cut him off.
“Don’t tell me you didn’t know Ms Vulpe was divorced and single, or that you were afraid of disturbing her I might believe that if
you were still a high school student, but now, you’re a successful doctor who doesn’t even go after the woman you love; that’s a
bit hard to swallow”
Chase paused and raised two fingers:
“So, to a normal person, these two points sound like excuses...
Yeager’s countenance grew even more grim
“That’s because I’ve been too preoccupied,” he defended
“It’s not just about being busy. It’s about forgetting about her when you’re apart and only realizing her worth when you meet
again, rekindling the emotions of youth,” Chase articulated
In truth, Yeager’s feelings for Ms. Vulpe might not be as strong as Mr. Laurence’s, but Chase couldn’t speak bluntly about it,
considering Ms. Vulpe is now Yeager’s girlfriend. If there were any issues between Ms. Vulpe and Yeager in the future, this topic
could be used by Yeager as a counterattack, causing her more distress.
Yeager found himself unable to retort against Chase’s verbal onslaught.
“You’re a lawyer, and I can’t argue with you,” he said, turning away and leaving Once outside the hospital, he glanced at the
candy in his hand for a moment before tossing it into the trash.
Sitting inside his car, he took out his phone and dialed Hailey’s number.
As for Cedric, no matter what his brothers might say they wouldn’t have a significant impact on him.

However, the matter of using Garett to taunt Bernard was something he needed to explain to Hailey immediately
Before Hailey learned the full extent of it, he had to take preventative measures to ensure she would believe him.
Hailey was absentmindedly having her meal when she heard his call. At first, she was reluctant to answer, but he persisted with
several calls in a row, leaving her no choice but to pick up
Yeager asked where he was, and she said she was eating out. Yeager wanted to join her, but Hailey said Liana and Eleanor
were there, and whatever it was, they could talk about it when she got back
Hearing Liana was there, Yeager seemed to predict what Liana would say His eyes flickered, but he didn’t say much, only
reminding Hailey to enjoy herself
After hanging up. Yeager drove straight to Hailey’s villa and waited in the garden for Hailey. He waited for a long time. It was dark
when Hailey finally drove back
