Chapter 164 You Left Her With Some Deep–seated…
Eric hesitated, his gaze intensifying as he leaned in, gently grasping Hadley’s hand.
Circumventing a straightforward answer, he asked, “Considering that we’ve decided to be together, sharing a room should be quite ordinary, right? Do you have reservations?”
Hadley paused, and then shook her head. “No, I don’t.”
“So…” As Eric spoke, his lips hovered near her cheek. “May I kiss you now?”
Caught off guard, Hadley managed a tense smile. “Yes, you may.”
She then shut her eyes and slightly lifted her chin.
Resigned to the moment, she chose to meet it boldly.
“Hadley…”
In a whisper, Eric raised his hand to her chin, his touch grazing her lips.
The touch was new and unsettling to Hadley, causing discomfort she couldn’t express, her hands tightening into fists.
Eric, his throat tightening with emotion, finally acted on his feelings and pressed his lips to hers.
The tension mounted, becoming unbearable for her.
Suddenly, Hadley’s body tensed up, shaking uncontrollably. Her eyes snapped open, locking onto the man before her.
Without thinking, her hand shot up to his shoulder, instinctively trying to push him back.
Yet she quickly caught herself… No, that wasn’t an option!
“Hadley?”
Eric picked up on her distress instantly, noting how rigid she was in his embrace.
“What’s the matter?” he inquired, his hand softly stroking her cheek.
Hadley’s complexion turned even paler. Abruptly, she got up and rushed into the bathroom. “Hadley!”
Eric moved to follow, but only reached the bathroom door as it clanged shut in front of him.
Inside, Hadley faced herself in the mirror, her entire body quivering, her teeth clattering from the fear.

Cold water cascaded over her face as she twisted the faucet open.
“Hadley?”
The sound of splashing water prompted Eric to rap gently on the bathroom door. “Is something wrong? You don’t seem well. Please, talk to me. I’ll enter if you keep quiet.”
