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

Chapter 228

Chapter 228 Sorry, I Don’t

Have A Phone

Of course, Hadley might have been knitting for herself, yet Eric sensed that wasn’t the case.

Whose could it be, then?

Hadley offered a tender smile. “Are you interrogating me?”

Retrieving the bag from his grip, she spoke with a breezy tone. “Really, who else would I be knitting for but you?”

“For me?” Eric echoed, his voice laced with surprise.

He stared in disbelief. “Me?”

“Yes,” Hadley answered, taking the yarn out of the bag to examine it more closely. “I intend to knit a sweater for you. This amount should suffice.”

While talking, she measured the yarn against him.

A brief moment of bewilderment washed over Eric before he questioned, “This… fiery red?”

“Is there an issue with that?”

Hadley’s expression turned to a slight pout. “It’s an excellent color! You’re always dressed in black and white -too monotonous for someone your age.”

Pleased with her selection, she continued, “Such a bold color suits a man of your charm.”

Indeed, it was a compliment.

Hadley had just complimented his appearance!

Eric’s eyebrows lifted as he couldn’t hold back a grin, quickly agreeing. “I believe you’re right.”

Reassessing the fiery red yarn, it now held a new allure.

He stroked the yarn, noting its texture. “This is quite soft.”

“Exactly.” Hadley confirmed. “It’ll be very cozy once I’ve knitted it into a sweater.”

She then playfully slapped his hand away. “Don’t mess it up; you’ll make it dirty.”

“Stingy,” Eric teased, pulling his hand back with a smile. “Okay, I won’t touch it anymore. But I’ll be the one wearing it in the end.”

His spirits lifted. Since he couldn’t fiddle with the yarn, he decided to hold Hadley’s hand instead.

“Why did you decide to knit me a sweater?”

Hadley gestured towards her wristwatch. “You gave me this lovely watch. I don’t have much, so I thought a sweater might be a nice gesture. It’s not as grand as your gift, but please don’t hold it against me.”
