NovelApexChapter 1360:
Ernest's eyes twinkled as he chuckled, teasing, “You sly fox.”
No wonder Eric's heart seemed so light.
The door swung open, and Hadley stepped inside, her face lighting up with a gentle smile.
“Ernest?” she said, her voice warm. “You're here for Eric?”
“Indeed,” Ernest replied with a nod, his gaze drifting past her. “Where is little Joy?”
“She is tucked away in the next room,” Hadley said softly. “She wore herself out playing and dozed off, so |
carried her over.”
“| see,” Ernest said, a fond smile tugging at his lips. “I won't disturb her rest, then. Please tell her | stopped by.
Oh, and...”
His expression shifted as he shared snews. “Grandma is awake.”
“How is she?” Hadley asked, her voice tinged with concern.
“Is Grandma okay?” Eric chimed in at the stime, their words overlapping.

With that, he rose and turned to Eric. “Focus on healing, and take care of yourself. I'll swing by again soon.”
“Take care, Ernest,” Eric said warmly.
Hadley stood to walk him out.
At the elevator, Ernest paused, his expression softening. “Hadley, how is Elissa holding up these days?”
Hadley blinked, caught off guard, but her faint smile held steady. “Wouldn't you rather find out for yourself?”

Ernest's brow furrowed, and he sighed. “She is not picking up my calls.”
“Then go to her.” Hadley urged, raising an eyebrow. “Even if you two decide to part ways, you owe each other a
proper conversation, don’t you think? Leaving things hanging isn’t fair to either of you.”
“Hmm,” Ernest murmured, nodding slowly, his voice quiet. He hadn’t meant for things to unravel this way. “She
is not staying with you?” he asked.
“No,” Hadley replied, shaking her head. “Elissa is fiercely independent. She would only lean on others if she had
absolutely no other choice.”
“I see. Alright, you should head back to Eric,” Ernest said, stepping into the elevator.
