At the airport, when the private jet smoothly landed, Bernard looked down at the woman dozing off in his arms
“Mrs. Laurence, we’re home”
Eleanor opened her eyes, groggily taking in the scenery outside the window. The setting sun was still blazing with a golden glow that was somewhat dazzling
Bernard shielded her eyes, blocking the harsh light, then turned to the man sitting in front
“So, you’re not leaving the plane. You want to hitch a ride home with us?
The man in front put down his gaming console, turned around, and gave Bernard a cautious glance
“I can drive you guys home
“No need
Bernard gave Cedric a cold glance The frost in his eyes gave Aidyn the chills.
Word on the street was that Bernard and Mrs. Laurence’s honeymoon had been less than stellar. Their planned romantic getaway turned into a packed group tour
During the first half of the month, an adventurous youngster named Elbert Pine made his presence known, dragging along his partner in mischief, Sheldon Pine The chaos they caused left poor Mrs Laurence seeking refuge behind a fortress of scarves.
As the month progressed into its second half, Cedric joined the group, seeking an escape from personal drama, much to Bernard’s displeasure. The perpetual scowl on Bernard’s face grew even
deeper
To make matters worse, Cedric seemed to possess an innate understanding of women’s needs that eluded Bernard. While Eleanor went shopping, Bernard remained clueless about female products, whereas Cedric boasted an impressive knowledge of the big brands, exquisite taste, and an uncanny ability to charm with his words
He would say things like, ‘Eleanor, you look stunning in that.” “This brand is like made for you” “Trust me, this color is perfect for your skin tone These comments made Bernard feel like a third wheel.
Aidyn still remembered how Bernard could only stand by the door with his hands in his pockets, watching as Cedric helped Eleanor pick out gifts, while the shop assistants mistook Bernard for the head of security and hung all the shopping bags on him….
Thinking back, Aidyn still felt the shivers. Yet, Cedric managed to win Mrs. Laurence’s favor, smoothly joined the group, and somehow dodged any harsh lecture from Bernard Lucky guy
After being rejected by Bernard, Cedric ignored him and turned to Eleanor.
“Eleanor
Even though Cedric was a pain, he always had a smile on his face
Who would refuse a smiling face?
Eleanor wouldnt. She reluctantly returned the smile.
“We’re going to Liana’s for dinner Hailey and her boyfriend will be there. Are you really sure you want to give us a ride?”
During a video call with Nina, she spilled all the tea about the love triangle between Cedric, Yeager, and Hailey
Eleanor wasn’t sure if Nina, the gossip queen, might have exaggerated the story, but she knew it was a pretty big deal.
Upon hearing Eleanor’s words, Cedric’s smile froze for a moment, then he shrugged it off. His smile showed a careless attitude.
“What’s the big deal? We might have broken up, but we can still see each other, right?”
“I didn’t mean ”
Eleanor was worried about the awkwardness when the trio met, but Cedric didn’t seem to care.
“I’ve had many girlfriends I can’t avoid them all because of fear of awkwardness”
Cedric insisted on going, so Eleanor had no choice but to agree
“Alright, then. You can go”
Bernard, who was watching this unfold, frowned.
“Dear, aren’t you going to ask my opinion?”
Eleanor leaned on his arm, rested her head on his shoulder and looked up at him in a coquettish manner.
“I think he just wants to see Hailey and is using us as an excuse. If you disagree, he’ll keep pestering me.”
Cedric had traveled all this way to butter her up, seemingly hoping she could put in a good word for him with Hailey once they got back. But he didn’t say it outright, so Eleanor wasnt sure
“He’s a piece of wor
Bernard let out a Chuckle, but then remembered how he had once accepted Josef Caporal’s invitation just to see Eleanor. Seems like he didn’t have much room to talk
Well just let him go
