Chapter 15 His Lips Met
Hers
“I’m on my way!”
Ending the call, Eric felt his patience wearing thin. Yet again, Hadley had landed herself in trouble. Ever since she returned to Srixby, chaos seemed to follow her everywhere.
Now, she was being held at a police station for assault?
This wasn’t just another minor issue–it was serious.
Grinding his teeth, he grabbed his keys and stormed out, heading straight for the police station.
The city was eerily quiet at this hour, the roads nearly deserted.
Eric pulled up at the station in under thirty minutes.
Just as he stepped forward, a young officer blocked his way. “This area isn’t open to just anyone. Who are you?”
“They called me in.”
His expression remained impassive, his gaze unwavering. “I’m here for Hadley Pearson. I’m her… friend.”
“Hadley Pearson? Very well, go ahead.”
The officer granted him entry and shouted back into the station, “Someone’s here for Hadley!”
“Really? Send them through!”
Seated inside, Hadley was taken aback. Who could it be?
She turned in confusion, only to meet Eric’s stern visage, intensifying her bewilderment. Why was he here?
Eric’s expression was grave, his demeanor cold.
“Hadley, tell me the truth. Did you orchestrate this? Are you trying to complicate my life now? Is this your way of holding on to me?”
The situation was painfully reminiscent.
Four years ago, with Linda’s incident, Eric had similarly rushed to judge, leaping to conclusions without grasping the entire situation or knowing all the details.
Hadley parted her lips to speak but then chose silence.
Let him think what he pleased.

Their paths would soon diverge completely, leaving no connection between them. His opinion of her was
irrelevant.
“Are you going to say anything?” Eric let out a short, bitter laugh when Hadley remained silent. “I must have hit the mark, huh? Grandma actually thought you’d changed, that you’d grown wiser! How ridiculous!”
For a moment, even he had believed she had changed. But clearly, it had all been an act.
“Uh…”
A police officer finally intervened, pulling Eric aside. “Sir, please calm down. Let me explain the situation first.”
“Fine.” Eric exhaled sharply, forcing himself to rein in his temper. “Go on.”
“Alright.”
