Chapter 980


    Eleanor, who was in the middle of a sketch, paused, put down her pen and ruler, and picked up the


    phone


    “What’s been cooked in your noodle?”


    “I only agreed to date


    when Cedric shows up


    Yeager


    Ager because I was pissed at Cedric Thad my selfish reasons, but Yeager really took it seriously. He’s


    been great to me, only getting out of line


    Eleanor got the gist Halley knew what Yeager had done, but chose to forgive him, only….


    “What about Cedric? He must be pretty bummed out, being misunderstood and all‘


    Eleanor was coaxing Hailey to consider Cedric’s feelings too


    As Hailey thought about Cedric’s red faced rage and how he had been misunderstood, guilt washed


    over her, but she suppressed it. She exined to Eleanor, “When I agreed to marry Yeager, he had


    already set the date with his family I can’t push him away just because of my mistake. I have to take


    responsibility for my actions and not deceive him or his family, otherwise, I’ll feel guilty”


    It became clear that Hailey was already aware of the dilemma she was facing Her consideration


    extended beyond just personal feelings, and she felt a sense of responsibility towards Yeager and his


    family, which made her decision even moreplicated


    If Eleanor were in her shoes, she wouldn’t be able to help Hailey make the right decision either. After a


    few seconds of silence, she advised Hailey


    “You haven’t been with Yeager for long, maybe give it more time before you consider tying the knot?*


    It was apparent that Yeager was not a bad person, but Hailey’s feelings towards him seemed to be


    lukewarm at best.


    Hailey believed it’s preferable to marry someone who loved her rather than someone she loved.


    This way, even if she got hurt or betrayed eventually, she could walk away without regrets. For her, no


    love meant no pain. Hailey’s perspective on marriage was valid, and she wanted to protect herself from


    potential heartache.


    However, as Hailey’s friend, Eleanor wished for her happiness.


    She shared her own experience of choosing a man she loved, which led to a happy marriage despite


    initial pain.


    Eleanor’s approach was to face whatever the future held with the person she loved. But Hailey’s past


    negative experience with marriage had left asting impression, shaping her cautious outlook on love


    andmitment.


    Both Hailey’s and Eleanor’s viewpoints had their merits, reflecting their individual perspectives and life


    experiences.


    Ultimately, Hailey’s choice would be influenced by her own understanding of love, trust, and the desire


    for a fulfilling rtionship.


    As her friend, Eleanor could only hope for the best for Hailey and support her in whichever decision she


    made.


    “I know you’re worried about me, but don’t sweat it, I be fine.”


    Eleanor wanted to reason with Hailey further, but Hailey didn’t want to talk about it anymore.


    “You’re busy enough, stop worrying about me. Get ready for your court thing”


    Hailey knew about Eleanor being sued by Evelyn Ziegler and having to go to the international court.


    Eleanor swamped with Hailey’s stuff, it s not fair to burden Eleanor with her love life too


    After brushing off Eleanor, Hailey found an excuse and hung up.


    Eleanor stared at the nk screen, feeling down, and let out a deep sigh.


    Sitting on the couch, Bernard, who was reading a financial report, waved her over


    “Come here”


    Eleanor put down her phone, got up from her desk, and walked over to Bernard.


    Stopping in front of him, Bernard reached out his fair hands, put his arm around her waist, and had her


    sit on hisp


    “So Ms. Vulpe has decided to forgive Yeager


    Eleanor wrapped her arms around his neck, rested her forehead against his.


    “Darling how did you know?”


    After saying her piece, Eleanor released her hold on Bernard’s neck and yfully pinched his face.


    “Look at my memory you were right across from me, you must have heard everything,‘ she teased


    Bernard had an incredibly handsome face, and normally his face and hair were off limits to touch, but


    Eleanor was the exception. She always enjoyed pinching his face and messing with his hair in the past


    Eleanor, who was in the middle of a sketch, paused, put down her pen and ruler, and picked up the


    phone
