Chapter 1180
When Bernard saw Cedric’s incoming call, he emotionlessly reached out and hil the end call button.
Cedric, not willing to be dismissed so easily, dialed again
Bernard’s face darkened before he slid to answer the call
Before Cedric could even open his mouth, an angry roar came through the phone, “Get lost-”
The harsh words silenced Cedric’s urge to speak
After a moment of thought, he picked up his phone and sent Bernard a message
[I’m at Hailey’s place right now, and I don’t have any clothes. Can you drop some off for me?]
The message was a coded way of saying their night of passion had left him without clothes.
Bernard glanced at the screen and couldn’t help but clench his fist
Cedric waited for a few minutes, but there was no response.
He picked up his phone again, opened the family group chat, and tagged Bernard
[Bernard, check out the message I sent you]
Bernard was speechless.
When no one responded, Cedric tagged everyone.
Guys, can someone reach out to Bernard for me, I need to talk to him urgently]
Taylor Laurence asked worriedly. [What’s the emergency?]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs soon as Cedric saw the reply, he immediately responded, I’m getting married]
Taylor was momentarily silent
So he was getting married, and what did that have to do with Bernard?
Taylor couldn’t figure it out, but Bernard knew Cedric just wanted to show off.
Cedric, who was eagerly waiting for his brothers‘ shocking faces, suddenly saw a message from
Bernard, [Block Cedric]
Veronica Laurence, who seemed to understand Bernard’s annoyance, wisely removed Cedric from the
group for the time being
Cedric, who was kicked out of the group, didn’t care. He took a selfie and opened his social media,
sending out a message and tagging his brothers.
[Guys, I’m getting married. Any of you have good proposal ideas? Share them with mel
Without Cedric in the group, Kendrick Laurence sent a message. [What’s up with Cedric?]
The rest of the group started discussing
Taylor asked, [is Cedric losing it“]
Matthew Laurence, who was in Africa, replied, [He must be nuts. Who’d marry him?]
Even Nigel Laurence, the sixth son of the Laurence family who was usually very low–key, chimed in, [If
he can get married, I’ll cut off my head and give it to him as a cushion‘]
Kendrick said, [What if he really is getting married?]
Nigel, [In my world, there are no what–ifs]
Kendrick was momentarily speechless.
Nigel rarely showed up or spoke, but when he did, he easily caused a round of laughter.
As Bernard was scrolling through these messages, Cedric’s call came in again….
This time, he didn’t hang up, but answered calmly, “if you don’t have anything serious to say, I’m gonna
break your legs.”
Cedric was undeterred by Bernard’s threat and continued to brag, “Bernard, I’m getting married”
Bernard replied coldly, “And?”
Cedric kicked the window with his toes, “Can I borrow your Eleaber Hall?“.
Bernard’s eyes turned cold. “If you want to die, just say it
Cedric thought for a moment and decided it wasn’t appropriate, “Never mind, your proposal venue is a
bit shabby. I need to find the best place for Hailey, one she’ll never forget”
So
His real intention wasn’t to borrow a venue, he wanted to show Bernard that he was going to propose
and that his proposal was going to be more spectacular?
Bernard couldn’t help but roll his eyes humorously, “Did Hailey say yes?”
His question made the somewhat uncertain Cedric start beating around the bush, “You could say she
did”
Hearing this, Bernard knew Hailey hadn’t agreed and a smirk crossed his deep gaze, “She hasn’t even
said yes, and you’re telling everyone about it already Aren’t you afraid of being rejected”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCedric patted his chest confidently. “This time, no matter what, I’m gonna win her over Just wait for my
good news!
Bernard gave a small smile, revealing a playful grin, “Have you told your parents?”
Hip casual question snapped the triumphant Cedric back to reality.
Cedric gritted his teeth, I’m going home tonight, and they’re going to prepare everything I need for the
wedding!”
Bernard didn’t expect Cedric to take this step, and his smile deepened.
Cedric was senous this time, willing to go through the formal marriage process. It was indeed a happy
thing that he was willing to settle down. However, convincing his
parents might be a hurdle
After all, Sigrid and Chase were prime examples Bernard could only hope Cedric’s parents would spare
Cedric, considering Sigrid’s past pain
Bernard was thorough in his considerations, but Cedric’s focus was still on bragging. “Bernard, are you
going to bring me clothes or not? If not, I’ll go to Eleanor.”
The man in the car lifted his icy gaze and glanced at Cedric, who was standing in front of the floor–to–
ceiling window wrapped in a towel, “Do you dare?”
Cedric knew he was being sized up and deliberately twisted his body to show off, “You’ll see if I dare or
not…”
Now that he had a wife to back him up, was he still afraid of Bernard?
Although his wife was also afraid of Bernard, Eleanor wasn’t.
