Chapter 153 Why

Hadley was completely thrown off.
What was Eric doing here?
And why did he sound like that–like he had every right to be standing in front of her, scolding her? What was with that entitled attitude?

“Sorry to trouble you,” she whispered.
Eric didn’t even hesitate. “As long as you realize it’s trouble.”
