Chapter 1355:
Eric, capable of sacrificing everything for her and their daughter, had also wounded her deeply, tand again.
“You bastard!”
Hadley’s teeth clenched as she hammered her fists against his chest.
“Why did you do it? Why?”
“Hadley...” Eric didn’t resist, only pulled her closer, his embrace steady despite her blows.
“I'll change,” he vowed, his voice low and fervent. “Just givethis one chance. | swear it won't happen again.
Please, trust me—there won't be another mistake.”
Exhausted, Hadley’s hands fell limp, her eyes shutting as silent tears continued to fall.
Should she give him another chance? She wasn’t certain he could do this.
Could she ever move past it herself? The pain of Eric's betrayal was a splinter embedded in her heart, perhaps
never to be dislodged. In the end, they reached a quiet stalemate. Eric settled for changing into fresh clothes,

“Alright,” Eric murmured, not protesting.
Hadley, having stayed awake all night by his side, needed rest as much as he did.

“You're awake?” Joy's face lit up with a bright grin as she turned to him. Hadley gave a soft, exasperated sigh.
“She was adamant about seeing you. | only brought her after she promised not to disturb your rest.”
“It’s okay,” Eric said warmly, his heart lifting at the sight of them. “I don’t mind at all.”
The moment was interrupted by the sharp trill of Hadley’s phone. She glanced at the screen.
“Hello?” she said, her tone shifting to concern. “What's wrong, Melba?”

“Hadley!” Melba’s voice crackled through, laced with urgency and a hint of fear. “There are people at our
apartment... They say they're here to help us move!”
“What?” Hadley’s brow creased with confusion. “Who are they?”
“Just a moment...” The voice on the line becmuffled. Melba seemed to be handing the phone to someone
else. A moment later, a man’s voice echoed from the receiver.
“Miss Pearson, it's me. I've arrived to assist with the relocation.”
