BuzzNovelChapter 1134: Denver paused when he heard her offer, his smile faltering for a brief moment. "Sure." "Drive safe, okay?" "Okay." Denver nodded, a lump building in his throat, but he didn't say anything else. He just turned and walked away.
Back inside the apartment, Hadley managed to eat a little, took a warm shower, and finally lay down to get swell-needed sleep.
Joy, clutching her Minnie Mouse doll, nestled into her mother's arms. "Mommy, I will keep you company." "Okay." Hadley wrapped her arms around her daughter, a gentle smile spreading across her face. The warmth of her little girl's body filled her heart with peace.

"Because you're always with him now," Joy mumbled, her cheeks puffed in a small pout. "Don't you like Eric anymore?" Eric was special to Joy.
"Mommy." Joy burrowed into her mother's arms. "Eric clast night. He readstories and stayed until I fell asleep." Hadley blinked in surprise. Eric had cover to take care of Joy? Suddenly, she remembered that she had seen him last night... at the hospital.
She had been burning with fever and feeling a whirlwind of emotions. At the time, everything felt like a hazy dream. She had even yelled at him.
But now, thinking back, it wasn't a dream. He had really come. And not just that, he had cto look after Joy as well.
He must have found out she'd been taken to the police station. Even though they hadn't spoken during the ordeal, it made sense that Eric found out because Marshall, Denver's cousin, was close to him. If anyone could have passed along the news of her accident, it was Marshall.
Even though they had agreed to go their separate ways, Hadley felt thankful that Eric had stepped in to care for Joy while she was gone. For all his aloof nature, Eric had a warm side he showed to the people he truly cared about.
"Joy," Hadley said softly, looking down at her daughter and choosing her words carefully. "I'm sorry, honey, but Eric and I... we can't be together anymore.

Hadley nodded gently. She would never keep Joy away from him. Eric was her biological father, after all. One day, when Joy was older, she'd learn the full truth. And she deserved to have the choice to spend twith her father.
"Mommy, you're the best!" Joy squealed, wrapping her little arms around Hadley. She then patted her shoulder and said, "Mommy, I'm sleepy now. Let's sleep!" "Okay." Hadley smiled and pulled her daughter closer. She thought to herself that she needed to find the right moment to speak with Ernest and pass along Joy's message to Eric.
As Hadley closed her eyes, a memory from the night before rose in her mind.
"I didn't push her!"
"I know you didn't push her!" Then content is on Ere.com! "Yes! I believe you!"
"You're lying! You never believed me! You're just like the rest. A liar!” Hadley sighed inwardly. He would never NO know which moment she was referring to, the moment when he failed to believe her.
