Chapter 141 I Hate You

The shock struck Eric deeply, leaving his eyes shattered and his complexion drained of color.

It dawned on him then. Hadley must have caught snippets of his exchange with Linda!

“Hadley!”

Eric massaged his temples, looking at her with a guilty expression. “You’ve got it all wrong…”

How could he even begin to explain this? “I have no idea why Linda would say such a thing…”

A soft, mocking laugh escaped Hadley. “You have no idea? Really? You already used me once because of her. What, are you hooked on setting me up and planning to do it again?”

“Hadley…”

“Make no mistake–it won’t happen again!” Rejecting his attempts to explain, she scoffed coldly, “Four years have passed. Do you think I’m still that naive? Your manipulations won’t work on me anymore!”

“Hadley, that’s not true.”

A deep helplessness settled over Eric, as if no explanation would ever be enough. “What will it take for you to

trust me?”

*Enough!”

Hadley gestured sharply at his hand on her arm. “Release me now! Stay away for good! That’s when I’ll trust

you.”

Eric stood frozen, meeting Hadley’s firm stare. Eventually, he relented.

“Okay.”

With a weary sigh, he gave in and slowly loosened his grip.

Without hesitation, Hadley turned and yanked open the car door.

At that moment, Eric felt an overwhelming sense of despair, the weight of her disdain crushing him. A chilling realization hit him–Hadley despised him. Could she possibly hate him as well?

“Hadley!” Instinctively, Eric called after her.

Hadley halted yet did not look back.

“Hadley…” Eric whispered, his voice trembling as emotions swirled within him. “Tell me–do you hate me?”

At these words, Hadley’s body tensed visibly.

Time seemed to stall as silence lingered before she finally faced him, her gaze unflinching.
