Chapter 1046


    Through the expansive window, Peterson observed as the pair outside diverged into separate paths.


    He gave the drink in his hand a gentle swirl, remarking. So, they’ve


    finally chosen their different roads”


    Bernard trailed his gaze, casting a nce through the window There was a slight change in his


    expression, though it wasn’t unexpected


    “My sister has always been firm about her desires,” he noted, his voice carrying a hint of admiration


    and perhaps, resignation “She relentlessly pursues what she wants and once it’s no longer necessary,


    she doesnt falter in letting go- be it material possessions of emotions.”


    Peterson raised his ss in a nonchnt toast, taking a subtle sip A hint of a smile traced his lips. “You


    knew I’d witness this scene, yet you still chose this venue What’s your angle?”


    He was, after all, in the midst of discussing a possible marriage alliance with Sigrid Under such


    circumstances, wouldn’t it have been more prudent for Bernard to shield her past?


    “Anything hidden is bound to be revealed sooner orter I would prefer that you learn about this from


    me rather than from a less reliable source.” Bernard asserted.


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    His gaze drifted back to the window, focusing on the figure making its way to a car.


    “As for whether you want to continue with the marriage after knowing this, that’s up to you,”


    Peterson’s smile deepened


    “My decision isn’t what matters, it’s all up to your sister”


    With that, Peterson gave Bernard a thoughtful look


    “Honestly, I quite like your attitude. It’s just a shame you’re a man”


    Bernard scowled disgust shing in his eyes Seeing this, Peterson burst intoughter.


    “I’m just messing with you, I don’t have a specific preference for gender.”


    Bernard set his ss down heavily on the table, his face cold


    “Thest person who imed they didn’t have a gender preference ended up falling for my wife.”


    Peterson suddenly became interested, leaning forward slightly


    “Who’s got the guts to make a move on your wife?”


    Bernard, lounging on the sofa, shot him a cold nce but didn’t answer


    Peterson wasn’t upset. He muttered to himself, “I guess your wife must be quite a looker. Is that why


    you’re keeping her hidden and not letting me see her?”


    Bernard heard what Peterson was implying, but he didn’t care and had no intention of exining.


    He withdrew his cold gaze and stood up. “You’ll see her after you marry Sigrid”


    Interesting To meet Bernard’s wife, he’d have to marry his sister first. Talk about a catch.


    Watching Bernard’s carefree figure, Peterson couldn’t help but smirk.


    In the box downstairs, Chase didn’t return. Only Sigrid did.


    When Cedric saw this, he knew they hadn’t made up


    He greeted Eleanor, then grabbed his coat to look for Chase.


    He thought Chase would have driven off, but found him sitting on the slope, staring up at the sky.


    Cedric sat down next to him. “Did you tell her everything?”


    Chase nodded Cedric asked, “Didn’t my sister forgive you?”


    Chase’s eyes were red, tinged with pain “She forgave me.”


    Signd had forgiven him, but she no longer loved him.


    Cedric was about to ask more, but Chase cut him off “If you really have feelings for Ms. Vulpe, don’t


    wait until things have settled down to find her. Over time, your feelings


    might fade”


    Cedric was taken aback, then said firmly. “I don’t have feelings for her anymore.”


    Chase chuckled “Really? Why don’t you ask your heart?”


    Cedric thought Chase was uding him as a punching bag because he couldn’t win back Sigrid He got up


    to leave but heard Chase’s voice behind him. “If you’ve investigated Bernice, give the evidence to Ms.


    Vulpe as soon as possible. Don’t dy_


    in his life, hed lost the woman he loved. He didn’t want his only friend to end up like him. “And after you


    win back Ms. Vulpe, remember to convince your parents. Don’t let


    her end up like me


    After saying this, Chase got up and left


    His lonely figure made Cedric feel like he could copse at any moment.


    But he continued to move forward, step by step, without any intention of looking back


    Maybe even if he did look back, no one would be there waiting for him anymore


    “What are you nning to do?”


    Chase didn’t answer. He just raised his hand and waved it dismissively


    It seemed to suggest that life is long and everything is determined by fate There’s no use struggling,


    just go with the flow


    Cedric lowered his head, looking at his own reflection at his feet, deep in thought


    Chase and Signd were once in love, but he and Hailey never were Their life paths wouldn’t follow


    Chase and Signd’s because there was no touching love sto butween


    them


    He pulled out his phone and opened the photos his assistant had sent For a moment, he thought about


    taking these photos to Hailey, but his previous experience sobered him. Even if he took the evidence to


    Hailey would she believe him?


    Cedric was wary of taking risks, he was caught in a conundrum. He feared that if Hailey didn’t believe


    him, it would be tragic, yet, if she did believe him and forgave Yeager, the pain would be unbearable


    Unexpectedly, he felt a sense of inferiority in front of Yeager, a doctor whom he deemed worthless. The


    roots of this inferiorityplexy in his interactions with Hailey
