Chapter 833
And how do you see that?”
Nina glared at Aidyn, leaned on her elbow, and looked at Hailey and Yeager
“I see it with both my eyes…”
This time it was Aidyn’s turn to be speechless.
“What a bore.”
While the two were whispering. Will glanced at Bernard who was being ignored.
“Mr. Laurence, are you not satisfied with the meal? Should I have the chef come over and prepare
another dish for you?”

Chapter 834
Though Will was polite to Yeager, he didn’t act all humble around Bernard He totally respected Bernard
as his own boss.
“No need”
Bernard added, trying to save Will from any embarrassment.
“Tve got a poor stomach, cant eat much”
“Oh, I see.”
Will was concerned Hearing about Bernard’s stomach condition, he promptly stood up
“Let me get you some stomach–warming soup
Bernard wanted to stop him, but Will was already off to the kitchen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEleanor, returning to her seat and catching this, asked Bernard with a chuckle, “Liana’s husband, not
too shabby, huh?”
Liana and Will weren’t officially married yet, but Eleanor was oblivious and assumed they were.
Bernard, having some knowledge about Will, knew he was a decent doctor and nodded
“He’s alright”
“What about Dr. Yeager?”
Eleanor rarely saw Bernard giving praise, so she couldn’t help but ask
Bernard glanced at Yeager, who was passed out on the dining table Instead of answering, he retorted.
“What do you think?”
His question pretty much gave away his opinion. Hailey felt a tad awkward hearing this and glanced at
Bernard
“Sorry for the embarrassment”
Bernard knew Hailey had heard him and shook his head.
“It’s Cedric who’s causing you the embarrassment. I’ll teach him a lesson when we get home”
Bernard had Aidyn force Yeager to down a few drinks as punishment, but it didn’t mean he would
tolerate Cedric’s behavior.
Hailey was surprised to see Bernard, who seemed indifferent, was actually quite clear cut in his
actions, not leaning towards any side, which she found quite admirable.
Eleanor certainly married the right man. A calm, decisive, emotionally stable husband like Bernard was
worth relying on for a lifetime.
Hailey thanked Bernard and then went to support Yeager
“Let me take you home”
Yeager, not a good drinker, was already wobbly after a few drinks.
“Hailey, I’m the man, I should take you home”
Hailey steadying Yeager, tried to reason with him.
“You’re drunk, how can you take me home? Just listen to me. I’ll take you home”
“No, I want to take you.”
Yeager, drunk, wouldn’t listen. Will, coming out of the kitchen with the soup, handed it to Bernard and
went to help Hailey with Yeager
“I got it, I got it
“Could you please help him into the car?”
“Are you leaving now?”
Will asked Hailey after steadying Yeager
“He’s so drunk, better take him home first”
Considering Yeager had a surgery the next day, Will didn’t insist on them staying
“Alright, I’ll help him into the car”
After Yeager was in the car, Hailey released a sigh of relief and thanked Will
“Thank you”
“We’re friends, no need to be formal.”
Will waved and then frowned, asking Hailey, “How are you going to get him upstairs when you get
back?”
Tll ask the security guard for help”
Hearing her reply Will didn’t ask further
Liana and Eleanor, seeing them leaving first, also followed suit
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hailey, drive safe”
“Don’t worry.”
Hailey waved at them, then got into the car, buckled up, and headed for Yeager’s apartment.
Yeager, lying in the passenger seat, groggily opened his eyes and looked at Hailey who was driving
“Hailey, I’m sorry. I messed up tonight”
Hailey’s fingers paused slightly on the steering wheel, but she remained silent, shaking her head Yel,
Yeager persisted.
Hailey
1 shouldn’t have pressured him to drink, nor should I have mocked him,” Yeager admitted
Chapter 834
“But I don’t understand why, every time I see him approaching you, I lose control,” he confessed
1 dislike him being around you, and I don’t appreciate the way he looks at you It always feels like he’s
still expecting something from you,” Yeager expressed his concerns.
“Do you think… Has he not let go of you yet?” he trailed off, his words growing fragmented until he fell
into silence.
Hailey glanced at the reannew mirror, observing Yeager gradually succumbing to sleep. She looked at
him, seemingly not truly seeing him, her thoughts tangled in disarray. Without a word, she averted her
gaze and focused on driving
Eventually, the car came to a stop in front of Yeager’s apartment. Just as Hailey was preparing to step
out and locate the security guard, she noticed a sports car parked in front of her vehicle. Cedric, tall
and composed, emerged from the car and rapped on the driver’s side window with an indifferent
expression
“Open the door!” he demanded
