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

Chapter 93 Crying Like She’d Lost A Loved One

Hadley was furious! Eric was the root of all her troubles!

Whirling around, Hadley lunged at him, clutching his shirt. Her eyes, red and furious, bore into him.

“Why are you doing this to me? Can’t you just leave me be?”

Her daughter was on the verge of undergoing surgery.

Though unspoken, the fears were real; Mathias had warned her–surgery was always a gamble. No surgeon could promise a flawless outcome.

And if, heaven forbid, something went wrong with Joy-

Hadley needed to ensure that Joy received her Minnie doll before the operation!

“You caused this mess!” Tears streamed down Hadley’s cheeks as she shook uncontrollably. “Everything’s ruined! I don’t want to see you ever again! Just get out of here!”

In a fit of rage, she pummeled him with her fists and kicked furiously.

Eric made no move to retaliate–not because he would never strike a woman, especially not his woman, but because he was utterly taken aback.

He hadn’t foreseen Hadley breaking down over a toy.

It was merely a toy, yet her tears flowed as though she had lost someone dear.

“Hadley, please, calm down,” he said, trying to console her.

“Get out of my sight! I don’t want you here! Please, just let me be!”

“Hadley…”

Realizing she was beyond consolation, Eric decided to act. He scooped her up in his arms, cradling her like a

child.

Hadley was dumbfounded.

What was he thinking? Would he ever stop?

“Eric, let me down!” She writhed against his grasp.

“That’s not going to happen.”

She was determined? So was he. If words failed, actions would have to suffice. Silently, he continued to carry her forward.
