Chapter 6 Signing Divorce

Upon Eric’s entrance, the aroma of cooking immediately greeted him.

“What is that?” he questioned, frowning.

Every light on the first floor seemed to be on, illuminating both the living room and the

Nyla had planned to bring Hadley back. She had even informed him that very morning. Eric had been busy when he took that call, but the detail had escaped his mind amid the day’s hustle.

Eric’s gaze sharpened as he took a closer look at Hadley.

She appeared different. The traces of youthful naivety had vanished, replaced by a composed and mature charm. While echoes of her former self remained, she had

Her beauty had indeed deepened.
