Chapter 104 We Are In Love

Hadley looked dead serious.

Denver forced a wry smile. It was obvious that Hadley had already figured him out. She had no plans of giving

him any hope.

Still, he tried to reason with her. “Don’t take it so seriously, I already told you. It’s all pretend. Nothing real.”

Since he was so adamant about that charade, Hadley decided not to argue

She simply shook her head and said firmly, “I don’t want to drag you into my mess. My problems with Eric have nothing to do with you, I can handle them on my own.”

Hadley gave him a small wave. “It’s getting late. You should go. I’m heading back in.”

Without another word, she turned and jogged into the alley.

Denver let out a heavy sigh.

Under his breath, he muttered, “But do you even know you’re already the most incredible woman in the world

to me?”

Half an hour later, Hadley stepped out of the bathroom, towel–drying her hair. Her phone buzzed nonstop on

the table.

She rushed over and picked it up. Denver’s name flashed on the screen.

Hadley furrowed her brows as she swiped to answer. “Hello? What’s going on?*

“Hadley!”

Denver’s urgent voice immediately came through the phone. “I’m at the entrance to the alley. I have no idea which building is yours, so get down here now!”

“What’s going on?”

“Stop asking questions and just hurry!”

The call ended before she could respond.

Hadley stared at her phone, frowning.

Hadn’t Denver already left? Why was he suddenly calling her back? And why did he need her to come outside? Was there something he couldn’t say over the phone?

She yanked the towel from her head, quickly ran it through her damp hair, got dressed and then grabbed her phone and keys. After locking the door behind her, she rushed downstairs.

As soon as she reached the alley, she scanned the area. But Denver was nowhere to be seen. “Where did he go?”

“Hadley!” someone called out to her.

The voice made her freeze. She turned sharply, only to see Eric standing there. Her stomach dropped. He had followed her here!
