Chapter 210 A Curse To Everyone Around You

Eric was caught off guard. Hadley had never brought up her mother around him before, at least not that he could recall.

Pausing for a moment, he asked, “Is your mother buried here?”

“Yes.”

Her gaze was locked on the distant mountain, her expression filled with melancholy.

Without a word, Eric reached out and took her hand, noting her pallor.

“Is it a special day for her, like a birthday or an anniversary?”

“No.”

Hadley shook her head, letting out a long sigh. “I just really miss her today. I felt drawn here.”

Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke, shimmering with sadness.

Feeling her sorrow, Eric squeezed her hand tighter. “Let’s keep going.”

Navigating the challenging mountain path, Eric was cautious, supporting her at every difficult step.

“Take it slow here.”

Clinging to his arm, Hadley stepped onto stable ground and paused, looking earnestly into his eyes. Eric, confused, asked, “Have we arrived?”

“Eric.” She shook her head gently. “Please stay here. I don’t want my mother to see you.”

“What?”

What did she mean by that?

Eric almost instantly understood, but with that came a surge of uncontrollable anger!

“Hadley!” he exclaimed, releasing her hand and starting to pace.

He stopped abruptly in front of her and asked, “You don’t want her to see me?”

“No.”

Hadley shook her head, her expression open and genuine.

She seemed perplexed by his growing irritation. “Does this upset you?”

“Should I not feel this way?” Eric asked with a bitter laugh, his complexion turning ashen. “Given the nature of our relationship, shouldn’t I be here to honor your mother?”

“Our relationship?” Hadley echoed his words, her expression void of emotion, her tone icy.
