Too Late, Mr. Billionaire: You Can't Afford Me by Thedora Birnir

Chapter 69 The Flynn Family’s Adoptive…

Hadley hesitated before recognizing the familiar face.

“Is that you?”

Indeed, it was a familiar face–the man she had occasionally seen at Galant, the one who had once bought her pumpkin soup.

“Yep, that’s me.” Denver flashed a brilliant smile. “Didn’t think I’d bump into you here.”

Denver had been abroad for a project in recent weeks and had just returned to Srixby. It had been some time

since he last visited Galant and saw Hadley.

To his joy, chance had brought them together once more.

Denver reached out his hand. “I realize I never properly introduced myself. I’m Denver Moran.”

“Pleasure to meet you,” Hadley responded, her smile modest as she took his hand.

“So…” Denver paused, and then awkwardly scratched his neck. “Might I know your name?”

“Sure.” It felt right to introduce herself after he had. “I’m Hadley Pearson.”

Hadley.

Denver repeated her name silently, his smile broadening.

Her beauty was unmistakable, and she moved with the grace of a skilled dancer. Even the sound of her name brought a sense of delight. She radiated an aura of effortless charm.

“Are you here for the birthday party too?” he asked.

Pausing briefly, Hadley gave a hesitant nod. “I suppose I am.”

After all, she was the guest of honor.

Just then, Denver’s phone began to ring. He checked the caller ID, and then returned his gaze to her. “Looks like my friends are here–I’ll find you later.”

“Sure, go ahead,” she responded casually.

With a nod, Denver walked away, phone pressed to his ear. “Where are you guys? I’m already here…”

Looking across the room, Hadley caught sight of Nyla, who was waving at her.

She straightened up, offered a courteous smile, and made her way over.
