Chapter 41 Like His Own
Sister
“What?” Both Eric and Hadley stopped in their tracks, uncertain.
What was Nyla implying?
“Why that look?” Nyla’s chuckle broke the tension as she addressed Eric.
Turning her attention to Hadley, she patted her hand reassuringly. “Don’t worry, dear. I’m just ensuri well–being.”
She then faced Eric again.
“You should know what I’m getting at, if you have any heart. Hadley has no one else. I’ve failed her before, so it’s my duty to see her settled before I can rest easy.”
“Nyla…” Hadley interjected with a shake of her head. “I can look after myself.”
But Nyla dismissed her concerns and continued to fix Eric with a stern look.
“I expect you to look after Hadley as if she were your own sister. I want her to be happy and well–cared for until she marries someone decent. Her well–being will reflect on you. Do you grasp my meaning?”
“I understand.” Eric acknowledged with a nod.
The message was unmistakable. Hadley, though not his wife anymore, was still his family.
“Do you get it?” Nyla asked, her tone sharpening as she scrutinized him.
Eric quickly reassured her. “I’ve got it. Don’t worry.”
“Good,” Nyla responded, though her gaze lingered on Eric, sensing something amiss. “What’s that look for? You
think I’m asking too much?”
“Not at all,” Eric responded hastily, shaking his head. A peculiar sensation washed over him, a mix of relief and
confusion.
“Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ve given my word, and I’ll look after her well… Consider Hadley as my sister now.”
At the mention of “sister,” Hadley subtly lowered her gaze, concealing a slight, scornful smile.
“Then it’s decided,” Nyla replied.
She dismissed him with a wave. “Off you go. Hadley will stay with me.”
“Okay, take good care, Grandma.”
With that, Eric departed, gently shutting the door behind him. As he left, he caught sight of Hadley offering
