Chapter 103

Chapter 103 Let’s Be Together

“What’s wrong?” Hadley frowned in confusion. “Did something happen?”

Denver hesitated, his gaze fixed on her. After a brief pause, he finally spoke up.

“I don’t mean to pry, but why are you so afraid of Eric?”

His throat tightened as he forced out his next words.

“Aren’t you two back together?”

“Back… together?”

Hadley’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Why would you think that?”

Denver stayed silent for a moment before answering honestly. “That’s what Eric told me.”

Before she could respond, he let out an uneasy chuckle. “Did you two have a fight? Arguments between couples

are…”

“No!”

She cut him off abruptly, pressing her lips into a thin line.

Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears. “It’s not a fight. We aren’t back together because we were never together in the first place!”

Denver was caught off guard.

What was going on?

“You’re not back together?” His brows furrowed. “Then… why would Eric say that?”

It was clear that Eric’s hostility toward him wasn’t an act. He genuinely saw Denver as a threat.

As Denver watched Hadley’s reaction, things started falling into place.

“Does this mean Eric’s making decisions on his own, and you don’t feel the same way?”

Hadley wasn’t expecting Denver to be this perceptive.

She stayed quiet, but the look on her face told him everything.

“I was right, wasn’t I?”

Frustration surged through him. He slammed his hand against the steering wheel. “Eric has crossed the line!”

Feelings should go both ways. No one had the right to force another person.
