Chapter 190 A Cheat

Was Linda talking about Ernest?

A puzzled look crossed Eric’s face.

His memories of Ernest and Linda painted a picture of harmony; they rarely disagreed.

Ernest, in particular, had always been accommodating ever since they started dating, always putting Linda’s wishes first.

Shocked, Hadley could hardly believe what she was hearing.

She glanced at Eric, who appeared unfazed by the accusation. Did he already know?

“Linda,” Ernest said, his expression tight with frustration yet marked by a refined handsomeness.

He made another attempt to calm her. “Please, come home with me. You’re misunderstanding the situation”

But Linda stood firm. “I won’t leave!”

No plea from Ernest could sway Linda “Get out of my sight! I can’t stand looking at you!”

“Linda, please!” Ernest called out desperately as he grabbed her arm. “Let’s not cause a scene here, not in front of Eric and Hadley”
