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

Chapter 168

Chapter 168 She Doesn’t Want Him Anymore

Hadley arrived with a clear purpose. Her lips pressed tightly, she offered a solemn apology.

“Forgive me. That day, I was out of line… I shouldn’t have spoken to you that way.”

Could she be here just to apologize?

Eric’s eyes narrowed, though he remained silent.

Out of nowhere, Eric staggered and fell towards her.

His strong frame enveloped her immediately.

Feeling overwhelmed, Hadley grimaced and instinctively pushed against him. “Eric…”

“Humph.”

His eyes chilled as he felt her resistance. “Is this your way of saying sorry? If you can’t even stand my embrace, why bother coming?”

“No…”

Hadley was quick to clarify.

“It’s not about not letting you hold me. It’s just that you’re quite heavy–I wasn’t prepared to catch you.”

His acceptance of her explanation was evident.

Raising an eyebrow, Eric drew her close. His breath was warm against her ear, his tone both low and seductive. “Hadley, I’m feeling lightheaded.”

Now that he was so close, the strong smell of alcohol was unmistakable.

Clearly, he had been drinking heavily that night, which explained his dizziness.

Hadley clenched her teeth and gathered her strength to help him. “Let’s get you inside.”

Her strength was barely enough to maneuver him onto the couch, and she started to sweat lightly from the effort.

“Ugh… hmm…”

Eric moaned from the couch, clutching his head. “Hadley, I’m really not feeling well.”

“I can see that.”

With a concerned frown, Hadley said, “Rest here for now. I’ll go make something for you.”
