Chapter 210:

“What did you just say?” Eric halted abruptly, his eyes narrowing.

Hadley’s words echoed in his mind, but instead of feeling regret, a sinister spark flickered in his eyes. Without a second thought, he reached for her again.

“Stay away from me!”

Fear began to seep into Hadley as she trembled, hastily retreating. She turned and sprinted toward her bedroom. Reaching the door, she flung it open and slammed it shut once she was safely inside.

“Hadley!”

Eric followed closely behind but found the door shut in his face. His hand hovered in the air, tempted to knock, but he restrained himself, not wanting to disturb Nyla.
