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

Chapter 112

Chapter 112 An Apology Is Not Enough

Helping Hadley get into Blanche’s troupe had led Barrie to learn that the dancer they all appreciated from Galant was none other than Hadley herself.

Eric had exerted considerable effort to make this happen, possibly aiming to revive past affections.

Yet, here was Hadley, introduced as Denver’s girlfriend.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Eric’s response carried a sarcastic edge as he faced Barrie. “Even Marshall was in the dark. How could I, her former husband, possibly know?”

“Hey.” Marshall was genuinely unaware. “I was clueless. It’s intriguing to think about how Denver’s parents might react to this news.”

At that moment, Denver released Hadley’s hand and motioned to everyone. “What are you waiting for? Come

over here.”

As they gathered, Denver, appearing somewhat nervous, looked at Hadley. “I’d like everyone to meet my girlfriend, Hadley.”

“Hi, everyone.” Hadley greeted them with a shy smile, her eyes twinkling.

Eric couldn’t suppress a mocking chuckle as he turned away, his thoughts shadowed. A woman in love indeed… Denver continued, his tone light, “Since everyone’s familiar with Hadley, we’ll skip the formalities, okay?”

Hadley, still smiling, nodded in agreement.

Denver then noticed the bag Hadley was holding. “That bag looks heavy. Why not put it down?”

“Not heavy at all. It’s actually for you,” Hadley responded with a slight shake of her head. “I brought a gift for your birthday.”

“Really?” Denver’s expression brightened instantly. “You’ve brought a gift for my birthday?”

Hadley was torn between laughter and tears. “Could I really show up to your birthday without a gift?”

She nibbled on her lip, feeling a tad embarrassed.

“It’s not anything fancy. If it’s not to your liking, maybe just quietly get rid of it.

Reminiscent of how Eric had discarded the shirt…

Denver reassured her warmly. “I’m certain I’ll appreciate whatever you’ve chosen.”

His curiosity piqued, Denver asked, “What have you brought? May I open it now?”
