Cedric felt a stab of pain in his heart, but he didn’t let it show on his face. You’re going on a blind date? With who?”
Hailey didn’t answer, but politely turned to Bernard and said. “Mr. Laurence. Eleanor will be safer here with you, I wont take her home”
Bernard, having achieved his goal nodded at Hailey and said, “Go ahead and chat.”
He closed his laptop and stood up to give orders to the servants Take good care of Mrs. Laurence’s friend.”
The title of Mrs Laurence gave Eleanor a serise of security and gave Hailey a good impression of Bernard
Hed already claimed Eleanor as his wife even before theyd tied the knot, giving her a place to stay where the servants wouldn’t look down on her.
Bernard was thorough and left no room for complaints from Hailey
Over the past three months. Hailey has seen Bernard cough up blood and nearly die for Eleanor several times.
She thought that even though this man had immense power and influence, his love for Eleanor surpassed his own life, and that was enough.
Cedric wanted to question Hailey further about who she was going on the blind date with, but Bernard shot him a cold look.
Cedric had no choice but to stand up “Hailey, well settle this later”
Hailey pretended not to hear settling herself on the couch as the servants brought in coffee and pastries
She said. “Thanks, picked up her coffee, and took in the luxurious decor of the living room as she sipped
Eleanor, on the other hand, picked up a piece of cake and offered it to Hailey “Hailey, are you going on a blind date?”
Hailey returned her gaze and accepted the cake “You remember Mr. Hammer, right? He said there’s a guy with good prospects for me to meet. SoWhy not? Well see how the date goes. If it doesn’t work out at least I’ve made a new friend”
Eleanor understood Hailey’s intentions
But she looked up at the study on the second floor and asked, “What about Cedric?”
She could tell Cedric still had feelings for Hailey, but she wasn’t sure how deep they ran
After all, everyone in A City knew Cedric was a playboy, he’d been through countless women.
There might have been one or two exceptions, but those were just the ones he’d dated for a while, marrying them was out of the question.
Hailey followed Eleanor’s gaze to the study and said, “He’s too much of a playboy Not my type”
Every time Eleanor asked Hailey about Cedric, this was her response. So Eleanor didn’t push any further. “Do you need me to come with you on the blind date?”
Hailey shook her head quickly and said. “No need, you should rest at home”
Eleanor didn’t insist. They sat drinking their coffee and chatting about their own experiences over the past half year. Sometimes they were sad, sometimes they laughed. But when the conversation turned to Liana, Hailey suddenly put down her cup, her expression serious, a hint of pity in her eyes.
“Liana’s been having a tough time these past few months”
“Did Tyler Howell do something to her again?”
Eleanor had asked about Liana this morning. Bernard had only told her that Liana had come back from B City but did not elaborate. Having just returned herself, Eleanor wasn’t clear about Liana’s situation after her return.
