Chapter 173 Slipped On The Road
As Eric eyed her dress, Linda grinned. “Recognize this? Thinking it looks quite similar to the one you chose for Hadley?”
“Yeah,” Eric acknowledged with a pause, nodding
“It’s more than similar.” With a laugh, Linda explained, “Actually, it’s the very same one.”
She went on to describe her earlier interaction with Hadley.
“Hadley was so kind. I just mentioned how much I liked the dress, and she insisted I take it.”
Hadley gave up the gown?
Eric narrowed his eyes slightly. What could Hadley possibly be wearing instead?
And more importantly, where was she now?
He looked around the banquet hall once more.
Linda’s smile faded a bit. “Searching for Hadley? I haven’t spotted her yet. She might not have arrived.”
Not here yet?
Eric checked his watch with a frown.
“I’m sure she’ll show up soon.” Linda managed a strained smile. “I should find your brother now. He’ll start wondering where I am if I don’t show up soon.”
“Okay.”
“Mr. Flynn!” Phillips approached hurriedly, having been searching for Hadley without success.
“Hasn’t she shown up?” Grasping the situation as he saw Phillips alone, Eric asked with a frown.
“Mr. Flynn. It’s begun to snow. The roads could be congested. Should we give her a call to see if she’s on her way?”
Nodding, Eric pulled out his phone and called Hadley.
As Hadley was on her way home, her phone started ringing.
She saw who it was and picked up.
“Hello?”
“Hey, Hadley.” Eric massaged his forehead. “Where are you right now? It’s already starting to snow. Got caught
