Chapter 1052
Hailey put down her cup, her face as calm as still water She looked up at Yeager sitting across from
her
“Before we start drinking. I’ve got three questions for you Cool?”
“Huh?”
Yeager also put down his glass, staring at Hailey
“What are your three questions?”
Hailey whipped out her phone and played a recording for Yeager to hear.
Yeager’s face turned gloomy the moment he heard the recording
“Hailey, did you record this?
Did she start the recording on her phone when she had gone to the bathroom?
If that was the case, Hailey wasn’t as simple as she seemed
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHailey was taken aback that Yeager’s first reaction was to suspect her instead of realizing his own
mistake
She laughed, her eyes brimming with confidence, like a view shrouded in mist- blurry yet captivating
Tve got no clue who recorded it for me, but I’m grateful. It showed me how you and your parents really
think of me”
Hearing her words, Yeager panicked, reaching out to grab her, but Hailey dodged him
“Yeager, what did you mean by how can I give up without getting her?”
Seeing the disappointment in Hailey’s eyes, Yeager knew that she might propose to break up after he
answered the three questions.
He no longer denied the authenticity of the recording, but picked up the scissors on the table and
snipped the wick of the aromatherapy candle.
The light on the table brightened, and the scent got stronger
He stared at the flickering candlelight for a while before turning his gaze to Hailey
“I like you and want you It’s my instinct, and I believe Cedric feels the same way”
Hailey asked him a question, but he redirected the conversation to Cedric, obviously trying to distract
her
If she couldn’t see through Yeager’s tricks before, now she saw it crystal clear
“Tve told you, Cedric and I have cut ties Why do you keep bringing him up?”
“If you really cut ties, how did you get this recording?”
Yeager’s counter question caught Hailey off guard.
“You suspect Cedric recorded it?”
Yeager gave Hailey a glance, picked up his glass, and took a small sip
“He probably knew in advance that I was going to introduce you to my parents, so he deliberately
stalked us and seized the opportunity to record the conversation. Then, he waited for the right moment
to send it to you from an unknown number”

Listening to Yeager’s explanation, Hailey had to admit it seemned plausible that Cedric might act that
way
However, having been with Cedric for three years, she was certain he wasn’t the type of person to act
in such a manner
“Stop making baseless assumptions about Cedric He isn’t like you, always scherming behind people’s
backs.”
This was the first time Hailey had ever defended Cedric so resolutely in front of Yeager
Yeager’s grip on his glass tightened noticeably
The veins protruding on the back of his hand were a testament to his simmering rage.
“Frankly, you’re just upset because you can’t get Cedric out of your head”
Yeager was adept at diverting the topic, and the old Hailey had been unable to see through his tactics
Now, however, she found his behavior laughable.
“No matter what you say, I trust my own judgment based on what I see and hear”
Her voice was even and emotionless, as if she was ready for a breakup and had nothing to fear
anymore
