Chapter 1016
Cedric, as soon as Chase was out of the door, turned to his assistant and snapped, “You get your ass
to F Country right now and look up someone called Bernice.”
Janice was about to say something, but was cut off by a cough from Ableson. There were definitely
some secrets between them, secrets that even Yeager didn’t know about.
If it was really like that, then Hailey was really unlucky. Cedric pondered carefully. After all, they were
acquaintances, and even if she didn’t love him, he couldn’t just watch her fall into trouble. Now he
understood that impulsiveness wouldn’t bring any benefits but rather make him vulnerable to

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthad turned out this way, especially when she thought she was ready to remarry.
With a deep sigh, Hailey started the car and headed towards Fiord Roundabout.
While waiting at a traffic light, she rolled down the window for some fresh air and unexpectedly caught
sight of Cedric.
He was sitting in the passenger seat and had also rolled down his window.
They exchanged a brief glance, which felt somewhat awkward.
Cedric looked at her for two seconds, then quickly averted his gaze, rolled up the window with
seamless motion.
Hailey blinked her eyelashes slightly, then turned her head to look ahead at the red light.
This was the result she wanted, but when he truly treated her like a stranger, she felt somewhat sad.
Hailey smiled to herself. She never expected that one day she would become so sensitive. Initially,
Cedric had intended to go to Fiord Roundabout, but upon seeing Hailey heading in that direction as
well, he instructed the driver to change the route.
Hailey glanced at the rearview mirror, seeing the luxurious car making the turn, and her expression
subtly changed, though she didn’t show any emotional response. This way, it’s probably for the best.
Meanwhile, Eleanor had been busy completing the design drawings left by Emilia. When she heard
Bryson say that Hailey had arrived, she paused her work.
Chapter 1016
It was the weekend, and Nina was at home, happily playing on the living room carpet with the servants.

sitting cross–legged on the carpet. She went over and tried to pick up Nina but couldn’t. manage it.
“How much has Eleanor been feeding you? You’ve put on quite a bit!”

Hailey gently touched her chubby belly. “Who knows how long it’ll take for you to grow up…”
Nina raised her hands and gestured in front of Halley. “If I get fat for another ten years, I’ll be grown
up…”
Hailey couldn’t help but chuckle, pinching her cheeks. “You’re still cute like this.”
Nina tilted her head and grinned, “My teacher says I’m cute too. Looks like he’s not lying about being
my future husband.”

“Her homeroom teacher,” Eleanor chimed in, coming down the stairs with a smile. “She says she wants

“That’s quite something! Thinking about marriage at such a young age.”
“Yeah,” Eleanor agreed.
She stood in front of the two and patted Nina’s head. “If it wasn’t for the fact that her teacher is
handsome, she wouldn’t want to marry him.”
Nina imitated the way adults do and snapped her fingers, “Eleanor got it right! It’s because he’s

Hailey pretended to put on a serious expression and told Nina, “You need to change that mindset. Just
