Chapter 831

*Dr. Yeager, you sure you wanna booze up with me?” Cedric leaned against his chair, chin slightly lifted

with a look of disdain towards Yeager. After pouring the drinks, Yeager put down the bottle, a harmless

smile on his face

“Mr. Laurence, you chicken out?”

Cedric snorted, “Me, scared?” He was a regular in the party scene. Yeager drinking with him was like

asking for trouble.

“Well, if you’re so brave, down this glass Yeager’s words were clearly a challenge

Cedric’s face shifted from indifference to anger, “Who are you to tell me to drink?”

Seeing Cedric getting heated, the corner of Yeager’s mouth curled up, “Mr. Laurence, it’s just a drink,

no need to get so worked up” He added. “If you need a reason, let’s say it’s to settle the score from last

time.”

Settle the score from last time? Clearly a jab at Cedric for bowing his head to him over a girl, Cedric

couldn’t stand it, he was about to get up and punch Yeager when Bernard spoke up.

“If Dr. Yeager asks you to drink, you drink. What’s with the getting up?”

Cedric swallowed his anger and sat back down. When he looked up again, his eyes held a fiint of

restraint.

“Dr. Yeager, didn’t anyone ever tell you, before you make someone else drink, you should take a sip

yourself?” he asked coldly.

“Really?” Yeager retorted, getting no response, he calmly picked up the bottle and poured some into

his glass. “Then I’ll have one first.”

Just as Yeager was about to drink, Cedric knocked on the table, “Fill it up.”

Yeager didn’t argue, just nodded and put down his glass, picked up the bottle and filled it up.

“This booze is from the club, it’s quite strong, can you handle it?” Hailey was a bit worried.

*I can.” Yeager said with a warm smile, then took his glass and downed it in one.

Seeing Hailey with a wrinkled brow, worrying for Yeager, Cedric couldn’t help but feel annoyed, so he

also picked up his glass and downed it in one go. He drank a bit too fast and choked, coughing and

looking for a tissue, a bit embarrassed.

Hailey hesitated for a moment, but still handed Cedric a tissue. There was a moment of eye contact

before Cedric shifted his gaze to the tissue and took it naturally.

“Thanks.” He said politely

The conversation widened the gap between them, like familiar strangers with nothing to say to each

other.

After Yeager finished his drink, he put down his glass. He noticed Cedric sneaking looks at Hailey.

Cedric’s face changed slightly, but he didn’t say anything.

Will noticed the tension between the two had eased a bit, he quickly raised his glass, suggesting a

toast.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere was noticeably lighter.

With the lively little Nina there, everyone eating, drinking, and playing with the child, the atmosphere

was very harmonious,

However, this harmony didn’t last long.

Soon, Yeager said to Hailey. “Hailey, my family wants to meet you, when are you available?”

Eleanor and Liana exchanged glances, then both looked at Hailey, who had been eating quietly.

When Yeager had just egged Cedric to drink, Eleanor felt it was inappropriate,

Now Yeager was asking Hailey to meet his parents in front of everyone, Eleanor fell it was even more

inappropriate.

Everyone there knew Cedric was Hailey’s ex. Although it wasn’t a big deal, Eleanor felt there was a

competitive edge to it

Eleanor hoped the person to spend the rest of Hailey’s life with would be someone pure like Will, not

someone with a provocative intent.
