Chapter 64 Who Are You Pouting For

Eric’s dismissive gesture made the act seem like he was getting rid of something contemptible.

“What is this?”

Duran reflexively caught the small bag, his eyebrows knitting together in puzzlement.

As he opened it, he discovered the ring he had once given to Hadley.

Hadley’s reaction was immediate; she turned sharply towards Eric, her expression one of astonishment. Had he not discarded it that very night?

Could it be that he had held onto it all this time?

A sardonic laugh broke from Duran as he gripped the ring tightly, his face hardening

The realization dawned on him.

Hadley was no longer his to keep–she had moved on to Eric…

That would be logical. Eric was younger, more affluent, and carried none of the complexities that he did.

With a resigned look, Duran slipped the ring into his pocket and faced Hadley. “Ignore my earlier request. You’re with Mr. Flynn now. Consider yourself fortunate. I’ll take my leave.”

What?

Shock flickered across Hadley’s face. Did Duran really think she was romantically involved with Eric?

Such a misunderstanding could only lead to chaos. Eric couldn’t stand her, and discovering this mix–up would likely send him over the edge.

“I… no-” she said, her voice strained.

“Tsk.” Eric’s glare was sharp, his tone edged with annoyance. “The doctor said not to speak. Want to lose your voice for good?”

Was she pining for that older man or something?

Hadley bit back her response, overwhelmed with frustration.

See? He was already infuriated. And the worst part? She couldn’t even clear the air.

Duran caught the tense exchange, his expression weary. He nodded stiffly at Eric, and then turned to leave.

Hadley moved instinctively, taking a step and opening her mouth to call out, saying, “Mr. Mu-”
