Chapter 816

Hailey got what Veronica was hinting at, paused for a short while, then answered her question

straightforwardly

“I used to have a thing for him”

She really did. That’s why she kept the gifts he gave her even after they broke up. Perhaps she was

still holding onto a shred of hope back then?

She used to be into him, which means Cedric failed to win her heart, and that’s why it’s all in the past

now

But this answer left Veronica at a loss for words. She wanted to give advice, but it was clear that Hailey

and Cedric were history Yet, she couldn’t help but feel a bit regretful about it

“So, what about now

“I have a boyfriend now!

Hailey cut Veronica off firmly

“If possible. I’d like you to convince Cedric to stop bothering me and Yeager.”

Having made her decision, Hailey remained steadfast and resolute Unless Yeager ended their

relationship, no external influence could sway her

Veronica, understanding that Hailey had moved on from Cedric and firmly chosen her current

boyfriend, recognized that further words were unnecessary.

“Alright, I’ll keep an eye on him,” Veronica responded, acknowledging their conversation’s conclusion.

As their coffees arrived, Hailey took a few sips, sensing the potential awkwardness of lingering. She

stood up, signaling her departure.

Veronica didn’t attempt to stop her, merely nodding politely as a farewell gesture

After Hailey left, Veronica made her way to a nearby booth, leaning against the railing and gently

knocking on it.

“Did you catch all that?”

Veronica had tried to convince Cedric to go home, but he insisted on coming. Now that he had heard

Hailey’s feelings firsthand, he should be able to face reality, right?

Cedric was slouched in the sofa, staring at the pictures of him and Hailey during their dating days on

his phone.

In the photos, Hailey was all smiles, her eyes full of love when she looked at him.

He at that time was expressionless facing the camera, but a hint of happiness could be traced in his

eyes.

He used to not understand why he felt so comfortable and happy being with Hailey, his heart filled with

sweetness.

Now he realized, that was love, a mutual one….

Cedric stared at the photos for a long time, then lifted his gaze to Veronica.

‘Does ‘used to have a thing for him mean she’s over me now?”

Veronica saw the glimmer of heartbreak in his eyes and reluctantly nodded

She had to make him face the truth, or he would keep being so stubborn, which would hurt both him

and Ms. Vulpe

Veronica’s nod confirmed that Hailey was indeed over Cedric

He knew it deep down, but he didn’t want to believe it and thus denied it.

He leaned back on the sofa, tears welling up in his eyes.

“I think I just realized I love her, but it’s too late. What should I do?”

For the first time, Cedric was seeking advice from Veronica about a relationship problem, like a

wronged child looking for help from an adult.

But Veronica was also at a loss. She couldn’t force Ms. Vulpe, could she?

Without responding. Veronica let Cedric find his own answer

“I get it. If I apologize to Yeager, she will love me again.”

It must be because he hit Yeager that Hailey started to dislike him.

With this thought in mind, Cedric grabbed his coat and rushed out of the café.

“Hey..”

Veronica called out to Cedric, but he remained oblivious, driving hastily towards the hotel where Hailey

was staying.

Rolling her eyes in exasperation, Veronica couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Cedric’s belief that a simple

apology would magically mend their relationship seemed naive and misguided

Observing Cedric drive away, Veronica sighed, resigned to the fact that he was at a loss for how to

salvage the situation. It became increasingly evident that his impulsive nature continually fed him to

lose control of his emotions.
