Eric’s confusion quickly turned to annoyance. “What are you doing? Get in here!”

His patience was running low. He reached out, intending to guide Hadley inside.

However, Eric stopped mid–gesture, recalling how much Hadley detested being forced into contact. Any physical attempt would surely upset her.

Hadley firmly shook her head, standing her ground.

Eric’s expression hardened, his voice taking on a chili. “If that’s true, why is she throwing a tantrum now? Hadley should feel ashamed of herself”

“Let’s not dwell on it,” Linda replied, her face tensing as she attempted to defuse the growing tension.

“That incident was some time ago. I was just upset then. We should put it behind us.”

“You expect me to just forget about it?” Eric responded sharply. “What Hadley did isn’t something minor that
