Chapter 828
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”

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.

planned romantic getaway turned into a packed group tour

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

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.

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….

joined the group, and somehow dodged any harsh lecture from Bernard Lucky guy

Even though Cedric was a pain, he always had a smile on his face
Who would refuse a smiling face?

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.

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
