Chapter 204 Need To Be The Most Important Pers…

What kind of nonsense was that?

Hadley and Eric were no longer together. But now he was making promises?

The most bewildering aspect for Hadley was why Eric seemed so determined to cling to her.

She tried to unravel the mystery. “Do you think I’m a puppet on a string?” she asked.

“A puppet on a string?” Eric chuckled, his laughter echoing absurdly.

It was utterly ridiculous!

Hadley rolled her eyes. “I can’t stand Linda, yet here you are, pushing to stay with me. That means I’ll keep bumping into her, we’ll keep butting heads, and who knows, we might end up like we did on set–getting physical!“.

She genuinely didn’t understand. “Isn’t that bothering you?”
