Chapter 746
She seemed totally uninterested in what he was saying, and this left Cedric feeling a bit down in the
dumps, even anxious. He had a sinking feeling that Hailey might never come back to
him
Without thinking, he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close into his embrace
The faint smell of tobacco lingered on her, wafting into his nostrils
This familiar scent stirred a pang of nostalgia within him. He turned his head towards her hair, taking a
gentle sniff
“Hailey, you’ve been smoking again. Didn’t you promise me you’d quit? Why are you breaking your
promises?”
His voice was filled with reproach, but also a sense of helplessness and fondness towards her
“Cedric you have a girlfriend, is it appropriate for you to hold me like this?”

her.
“Hailey, you once promised me that you’d accompany me to see the snow When are we going?”
“Cedric, you have a girlfriend, this is not appropriate. Please let mega”
“Hailey. I.”
“Cedric
Hailey’s angry shout made Cedric shut his mouth instantly.
He withdrew his hands from her back and waist
He reverted to his aloof demeanor, took a step back and put some distance between them.
“Ms. Vulpe, you know I’ve been a bit of a nostalgia junkie lately, always trying to hit on my exes. Dont
take it to heart.”
Everyone in town knew that Cedric was a bit of a player.
If he showed care, it probably meant he was after a one–night stand
Hailey always remembered this and dared not take his so–called care as genuine
As an ordinary woman, she could not compare with a rich playboy. The smartest thing to do was to cut
her losses promptly
Moreover, she was three years older than Cedric As a woman over thirty, she didn’t have time to fool
around with a young guy
Hailey looked at Cedric, casually replied “It’s alright,” then went back to the roadside to wait for a cab.
As she stood there, Cedric suddenly had a desire to take her home, lock her up, and never let her out
again.
This thought surprised even him
He had always been casual with women from his past, not really caring about them.
But now, why would he have such feelings for Hailey Vulpe?

Cedric hated this feeling of losing control and got into his car with a hint of annoyance.
As his Rolls–Royce passed her, Hailey raised her hand and touched her hair.
A taxi arrived, and Haley quickly snapped out of her thoughts, opened the door, and hopped in.
The car drove into the city center and stopped in front of the Clowers family mansion.
Hailey got out of the car with her purse and walked up to the grand, imposing mansion
She had been here a few times, and the security guards recognized her. Hearing that she was here to
see Garett, they let her in right away
It was Sunday, and Garett was not at the Clowers Group Instead, he was sitting in the garden,
engrossed in a book.
He was wearing a white shirt with a black coat thrown over it, and a blanket draped over his legs
If not for the wheelchair, he still looked like the pure, untarnished boy he once was, as if untouched by
the dust of the world.
Every time Hailey saw Garett like this, her heart ached. He was such an outstanding person, but he
had lost the use of his legs and could no longer stand.
She stood behind him, silently watching him for a long time, then walked over and softly called out,
“Garett…”
