Too Late, Mr. Billionaire You Can’t Afford Me Now
Chapter 35 A Mistake
Did Hadley smile at Marshall like this when they were in Nyla’s ward the other day?
At the time, Eric only saw a quick side view of Hadley, but now he realized this was what Marshall must have witnessed in full.
His gaze sharpened as he studied Hadley’s seemingly unfocused look. “Do you even recognize me?*
Could she have confused him with Marshall?
After all, it was Marshall who had accompanied Hadley back to the hotel today.
Eric’s expression grew even sterner.
“You?”
Yet, as she looked into Eric’s intense, contemplative eyes, Hadley chuckled lightly. “I know you. You’re Eric. My dearest Eric.”
A knot formed in Eric’s throat as he observed her rosy cheeks.
Hadley must be intoxicated.
That was the only explanation why she even referred to him in such an endearing way, reminiscent of when she had first become part of the Flynn household.
Even while drunk, Hadley’s recognition of Eric was clear.
Feeling a strange surge of warmth, Eric extended his hand to her, his voice deep and resonant. “Why did you have to drink so much? Let’s get you up.”
“No!” Hadley exclaimed as Eric reached out. She backed away, her expression wary.
“Don’t touch me!” she insisted, shaking her head emphatically.
“Hey,” Marshall intervened, laughing lightly. “Looks like Hadley’s still sharp, even a bit tipsy. She’s keeping her boundaries clear.”
“Shut up,” Eric retorted, glaring at Marshall. “This isn’t your moment. Why did you even let her drink?” “Me?” Marshall raised his hands defensively. “Okay, okay, it was my fault. Now what?”
Eric was at a loss for a moment. It was good that Hadley was cautious, yet her heightened defensiveness was a challenge.
After a brief pause, Eric removed his tie, coiling one end around his hand thoughtfully. He extended the other end towards Hadley. “Grab this.”
“What are you doing?” Hadley was suspicious, hugging her arms tightly across her chest.
