Chapter 131 Unbearably Painful

Hearing the noise, Hadley set down her fork and quickly stepped outside.

“Hadley!”

“Denver? What are you doing here?”

Realizing it wasn’t exactly appropriate to talk right there at the doorstep, Hadley motioned toward the garden, and the two of them moved out of earshot.

“Hadley.” Denver lowered his gaze, his voice thick with guilt.

“This is all my fault. I never thought my mom would come looking for you. Whatever she said, don’t let it get to you. Please don’t be upset…”

“Don’t worry,” Hadle

replied, her tone calm and steady, much more so than his.

“I’m not upset. Mrs. Moran was just telling the truth…”

“Hadley?” Denver’s eyes widened in shock, a sense of dread settling in his chest.

“Denver, listen…” Hadley sighed softly, her voice heavy with resignation. “Your mother was right. That’s why I turned you down the other day. From now on, we shouldn’t see each other anymore…”

“No!”

Before she could finish, Denver interrupted, his handsome face twisted in turmoil. “Hadley, please, don’t say

that!”

He stepped closer, his voice desperate. “I didn’t handle things well. I never expected my mom to… Hadley, I really like you! It’s rare to find someone who feels right, and I don’t want to give up just like that. I can’t give up. Please, don’t shut me out like this, okay?”

Hadley shook her head, unable to agree.

“Listen, parents look out for their children and often have their own good reasons for disapproving a relationship. Most relationships that try to survive their objections don’t end well…”

“But you said most!”

Denver’s voice was filled with urgency, rising in pitch.

“That doesn’t mean all of them,” he argued, his eyes pleading. “How can we know if we don’t give it a shot?” Hadley paused, caught off guard. She was momentarily speechless.
