A Second Chance at Forever ( Eleanor Shultz )
A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 1010

Chapter 1010 

Hailey stepped into the restaurant, spotting Yeager seated in a cozy round booth. Seeing her, he immediately stood up and waved, ‘Hailey, over here!” 

Looking at the handsome Yeager, Hailey was a bit nervous and wanted to withdraw. But she was already here, and she had to face it no 

matter what. 

She clenched her hands and walked towards Yeager, only then spotting the middle–aged couple seated in the innermost part. 

The man was dressed in a sharp suit with a black tie, standing tall and handsome, bearing a slight resemblance to Yeager. 

The woman was elegant with a slim figure and a refined, kind–hearted look. 

Upon seeing Hailey, they immediately put on welcoming smiles, “Ms. Vulpe, please come in and have a seat.” 

They were very warm, asking Hailey to sit down and asking her what she’d like to eat, letting her order her own food, while Yeager was busy calling the waiter. 

The friendly attitudes of the three eased Hailey’s nerves. She ordered some drinks and then told them not to fuss over her anymore. 

Yeager’s father was not much of a talker, leaving most of the conversation to Yeager’s mother, Janice Alis. She inquired, “Ms. Vulpe, how long have you and Yeager been dating?” 

Hailey glanced at Yeager, who was cutting his steak, and replied, “About two months, not a very long time…” 

A smile graced Janice’s gentle face as she said, “Although the time is short, Yeager mentioned that he’s liked you since high school. Such youthful feelings… quite romantic…” 

After Yeager finished cutting the steak, he placed it on Hailey’s plate. She thanked him, then continued answering Janice, “I only found out about this two months ago at a blind date banquet. When we were in school, I had no idea about his feelings.” 

Janice’s serene expression changed slightly, but Yeager quickly jumped in to add, “Those were all my thoughts at the time. Hailey probably didn’t even know I existed.” 

Janice laughed and teased, “So, Ms. Vulpe, were you quite popular in school? Were you the top scholar of the whole school?” 

Holding her knife and fork, Hailey froze slightly. Just when she was about to explain, Yeager spoke up, “Mom, let’s not bring up the past. It’s quite embarrassing to talk about it too much.” 

Janice looked at Yeager and smiled indulgently, “Alright, we won’t talk about it.” 

Yeager’s brows relaxed, and he cut some foie gras for Hailey, placing it on her plate with great care. 

Hailey originally wanted to eat quietly, but after a few bites, Janice asked again, “Ms. Vulpe, you’re planning to marry my son, aren’t you? There are some things I’d like to clarify in advance. I hope you don’t mind…” 

Hailey put down her cutlery and looked up at Janice, “My lady, feel free to ask anything. I don’t mind.” 

She was very polite to her elders. Janice nodded approvingly, “I heard that you’re an orphan, without parents. How have you been living these years?” 

Hailey answered straightforwardly, “I was in an orphanage when I was young, and I worked part–time jobs to support myself after growing up. Whether it was in a convenience store or a small restaurant, as long as there was an opportunity, I took it.” 

Janice looked at her with sympathy in her eyes, “It must have been tough. Working in a small restaurant wouldn’t bring much income. How did you become the owner of a nightclub at such a young age?” 

Hearing these two questions, Hailey understood that Janice was questioning the source of her wealth. 

Her background would indeed raise doubts, but Hailey didn’t blame Janice. She stated the truth, “I worked in the entertainment industry after graduating from high school and saved some money. Then, two of my relatives had an accident and left me some property. I took some of the money and bought shares in The Secret Garden. After making a return, I paid back my friend. That’s how I made my money.” 

After listening, Janice nodded thoughtfully, “I see. But you’re so young. A stable job would suffice. Why did you specifically choose this industry? Do you have any particular reasons?”
