NovelOnlineChapter 1035: "Yes." Hadley nodded. “What more do you expectto say? Do you doubt me?" "Hadley." Eric clenched his jaw, trying to keep his tone measured. "I'm not accusing you. But it's trending. Everyone's talking. You could at least explain it so I don't have to piece it together on my own." Tension suffused the room, thick and palpable.
Hadley stared at him, her voice low and frosty. "You're really this bothered? Over something that meaningless? This isn't like you..." She was interrupted by a soft knock at the door.

The door cracked open, and a production assistant peeked through with a cheerful smile. “Mr. Flynn, hello. Hadley, a Mr. Jenkins sent coffee for everyone. An intern already signed for it, just wanted to inform you." Mr. Jenkins? Brady? A crease formed on Hadley's forehead as she processed the information, her suspicion momentarily flaring. Nevertheless, she managed a polite nod. "Thank you, that's very thoughtful." "Alright then." The production assistant gave a cheerful nod. "I'll leave you two to talk." With that, he stepped out and gently shut the door behind him.
When Hadley turned back, Eric's expression had already darkened. His eyes were sharp, his jaw tight. "You still think this is nothing?" That question landed hard. The irony wasn't lost on him-Eric himself had once done the exact sthing, sending coffee and snacks to her workplace. She had been furious and told him never to do it again.
Eric's voice was low. "That guy clearly has intentions toward you. Don't act like you're blind to it." His words were sharp and accusing.
Hadley didn't flinch. Her brows lifted slightly. "Even if that's the case, what does it matter?" Your hub for updates: gVl"What?" Eric stared at her, momentarily speechless. "We're engaged, Hadley." "Why are you raising your voice at me?" She let out a small laugh and gave him a look. "So it's my fault now? I'm the one to blif someone falls for me?" There was a pause before she added, "Besides, looking at how things are now, we don't even know if this wedding's really happening." "Know?" Eric's face twisted, hurt flickering beneath his anger. "Of course it is happening! You gaveyour word!"
"Yeah, yeah," she said, her tone flat, nodding as if she just wanted the conversation to end. She stood up and headed for the door. "Where are you going?" Eric caught her wrist.
Hadley calmly pointed at the door. "To get streat. Didn't you hear there's coffee for everyone?" "You're not going anywhere!" The words burst from Eric, his temper teetering on the edge.
"What's gotten into you?" Startled by the sudden outburst, Hadley recoiled. "I can't believe you... We aren't even husband and wifelyet, and here you afe, fussing over a few admirers of mine? You spend your days and nights with your lover, yet you grudgea simple cup of coffee? I'm going whether you like it or not!" With a swift motion, she freed her wrist and dashed from the dressing room.
