Chapter 162 Never Seen Him This Happy

Eric felt a wave of uncertainty wash over him, craving some kind of assurance.

Seizing the moment, he gripped Hadley’s hand and lifted it toward Nyla. “Grandma, Hadley and I… we’re together now.”

He glanced at Hadley, adding, “Hadley, Grandma might have a hard time believing me. Why don’t you tell her?”

“Hadley?”

Nyla’s skeptical gaze never wavered, her eyes fixed on Hadley.

Under the weight of both their stares, Hadley took a steadying breath, a faint smile tugging at her lips. “Yes, we’re together.”

“Ah!”

Nyla gasped, her hands flying to her mouth in pure excitement. “Seriously? Is this for real?”

“Grandma, I’m serious–it’s true!” Eric raised an eyebrow, pride clear in his expression. “Hadley said it herself. Still don’t believe it?”

“I believe it!”

Nyla nodded eagerly, her joy spilling over. “I’m just so happy! Oh my goodness, this is amazing!”

Though she still couldn’t quite figure out what had happened between Hadley and Denver, Nyla’s heart instinctively leaned toward her own grandson.

How could she not? The way Eric’s grin stretched from ear to ear–it had to be a good sign!

Nyla clapped her hands in delight, linking arms with Hadley. “I really want to pop open a bottle of champagne to celebrate now!”

The three of them made their way down the stairs, laughter and conversation flowing easily.

Eric quickened his steps. “I’ll have Kira whip up some soup–Hadley’s feeling a little dizzy from the hangover.”

“Oh.”

Nyla paused for a moment, her expression softening before she burst into laughter.

You’ve changed, huh? Finally starting to care about others? Haha…”

It was clear now–her grandson was serious this time.

Looking at him now, it was hard to believe how much Eric had changed. Gone was the reluctance of years ago;
