?Chapter 594:


    Earlier, he’d only asked FOUR Hours to send women’s clothing to Silver Vis but neglected to specify any details. Taking the initiative, FOUR Hours naturally delivered items reflecting the Flynn family’s typical choices—clothes for Linda.


    The store, in its own way, had yed a hand in this as well.


    Feeling too intimately pressed against Eric, Hadley gently pushed back. “We’re in public. People will stare.”


    “Really?” Ericughed softly, entirely unconcerned, keeping her firmly beside him. “Who exactly?”


    The employees, sensing a romantic moment, had already discreetly vanished into the background.


    “Hadley.” Gently turning her toward the full-length mirror, Eric whispered yfully, “Look at us. Tell me we don’t match perfectly. With someone like you by my side, it’s tough for others topete.”


    She blinked, momentarily stunned.


    Was this apliment for her, or was Eric praising himself? How could anyone be this confident?


    “Hadley.” His voice shifted abruptly, uncertainty creeping into it. “Listen, I think… maybe I might have… I mean, I really am…”


    She stared nkly. What was he trying to say? Why was he suddenly stumbling over his words?


    Holding her just a bit tighter, Eric finally managed to say clearly, “I think I’m starting to fall in love with you.”


    Eric whispered his confession, pressing his flushed face against Hadley’s shoulder, too afraid to look up.

    He was nervous!


    At this point in his life, Eric had never imagined himself saying anything like that.


    His heart pounded wildly, so fast it felt like it would leap out of his throat.


    Hadley stood motionless, her eyes glued to their reflections, seeing nothing but the tall man pressed anxiously behind her and her own startled expression staring back.


    Did Eric really just say what she thought he said?


    Was he confessing feelings for her?


    This had to be some kind of ridiculous prank!


    Who in their right mind would buy that story?


    Once they’d left FOUR Hours behind, Hadley decided it was time to return to her own apartment.


    Eric, still basking in their reunion, wasn’t thrilled about ending their day so soon.


    “Why the rush to leave? We could spend tonight—”


    “I need rest,” Hadley interrupted firmly, sinking back wearily into the car seat.


    Noticing the exhaustion shadowing her face, Eric softened his tone.


    “You really worn out?”


    “Yeah.”


    She shot him an exasperated look. “It’s your fault I’mpletely drained. Please, Eric, just let me go home and catch up on sleep. I haven’t seen a good night’s rest in days.”


    A yawn escaped her lips, emphasizing her point. “So tired…”


    Still reluctant to part, Eric persisted gently. “If you’re exhausted,e sleep at Silver Vis instead. It’s way morefortable. Your apartment is tiny—”
