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

Chapter 134

Chapter 134 A Meatier One

Was Hadley’s frustration unfairly directed at Eric now?

“What does this have to do with me-”

On the brink of anger, Eric was almost ready to explode–was he really to blame for keeping the and Denver

apart?

But as he opened his mouth to retort, Hadley’s piercing gaze stopped him.

Indeed, he was to blame.

He was the root cause of all her suffering!

“Humph.” With a cold sneer, Hadley accused him. “It was you!”

Her thoughts then turned to the painful four years spent in Blathe–and to Joy, her beloved child.

Overwhelmed by her feelings, she grasped his tie fiercely. “Why are you so heartless? Why can’t you release me even after our divorce?”

Their failed marriage had likely doomed her chances of finding love ever again.

At first, that seemed okay.

Love wasn’t necessary for her. As long as she had Joy, she felt she could cope.

But then, Denver came into her life…

He didn’t mind her past or that she was an orphan. He had made significant efforts to reintegrate her into the

dance troupe…

For the first time, someone truly valued her–and yet she had wronged him!

Hadley’s eyes, filled with tears, were fixed on Eric.

Eric froze. He could see it–she was genuinely crying this time.

Her tears dampened his anger.

Eric stood motionless, even stooping to her height since she was still gripping on his tie.

He rummaged for a handkerchief in his pocket. “Okay, okay, I admit it’s my fault.”

He extended a fine cotton handkerchief to her. “Stop crying… I know you care about Denver sc worry. With the support of me and the Flynn family, he wouldn’t dare turn you away…” “What are you implying?” Hadley, tears streaking her face, glared at him. “Stop meddling! My life isn’t your
