Chapter 1213
Cedric’s sudden proposal left Hailey totally clueless. She didn’t know how to respond and felt lost.
“My head’s all over the place right now. Could you give me some time to think?”
Cedric seemed a bit too eager during his proposal, like he was trying to seize the moment, but his
actions felt rushed.
He glanced at the diamond ring on Hailey’s finger. Seeing that she hadn’t taken it off and handed back
to him implied that she he still go a chance, so he didn’t pressure her further.
“So, how long do you need to think?”
“Garett will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I’ll make sure he’s settled back home first, then
I’ll give you a clear answer.”
Cedric could tell Hailey was still confused, and guessed she probably hadn’t sorted out her thoughts
yet.
“Alright, I’ll head back and wait for your answer.”
Hailey nodded. Cedric stared at her for a while, then suddenly reached out and hugged her tightly.
Although Hailey initially wanted to push him away, she stopped when he embraced her with all his

Feeling that she didn’t instinctively push him away like before, a wave of warmth surged in Cedric’s
heart, making him feel extremely
sweet.
“Hailey, I hope your answer won’t be rejection this time.”
After saying this, Cedric let go of Hailey, smiled, and turned to leave.
Watching his retreating figure, Hailey was lost in confusion.
She raised her hand and stared at the diamond ring….
Was what Hertha said true? Should she trust Cedric again?
After getting in the car, Cedric gave Latonia a big hug.
“Mom, without you, I might have been alone forever.”
Seeing Cedric so happy, Latonia knew that the previous misunderstanding had been cleared up, and
she couldn’t help but laugh.
“Whether you’re alone or not isn’t up to me. Just bring me a grandchild home, and I’ll be happy.”
“If you want a grandchild, we’ll have plenty of kids after Hailey and I get married.”
Latonia was still somewhat dissatisfied with Hailey, but she preferred her over Hertha to be her
daughter-in-law.
“After you get married, just live your own lives. Don’t always bring Hailey in front of me.”
She clearly wanted out of sight, out of mind, but…
“If you can speak well of me in front of Sigrid, I won’t mind her being around.”
Cedric propped his chin with one hand, turned his head, and looked at Latonia with a teasing
expression.
“So you’re helping me for Sigrid’s sake…”
“Who else could it be?” Latonia seemed a bit arrogant, “why should I help you then?”
Cedric burst into laughter, saying, “Mom, you just can’t say nice things.”
Latonia raised her hand and tugged his ear.
“Since you’re saying that about me, fine, you can pay for your dad’s losses yourself.”
Cedric immediately put on a flattering smile.
“Mom, I’ll definitely invite Sigrid over on my wedding day.”
He had to save his money for his wife and kids.

“That’s acceptable…”

Lately, Hailey always seemed down, even her smiles felt forced.

Even though she wasn’t as downcast as she was a few days ago, her eyes still held a hint of worry.
Garett was dealing with depression and had undergone a major surgery. He had to endure the severe
pain from his leg nerves every day. He was already miserable enough, so Hailey naturally didn’t want
to add to his burden.
“I’m fine. A younger guy proposed to me and I’m not sure whether to accept him.”
Garett was smart. Just from the word “younger”, he thought of Cedric. In his view, Cedric was a
playboy with many female friends, but his scandals had decreased a lot since he got together with
Hailey.
“If you love him, accept him. If not, reject him.”
Since Hailey didn’t want to mention who it was, Garett also pretended not to know. He just gave advice
as a younger brother, hoping his sister could marry the person she truly loved.
