Chapter 1075: Eric rubbed the damp strands of his hair, his eyes flickering from her to the spread on the table.

He nodded, eased into a chair, and murmured, "Thank you." Linda's lips curved into a playful smirk. “No need for such formality. What's this? Just because you didn't return my feelings, I'm no longer a friend?" Linda was teasing Eric for acting distant earlier.

It turned out she had picked up on it the whole time.

Embarrassed, Eric sheepishly shook his head. "That's not true." "Then focus on your food. Stop letting your mind wander." Linda handed him a spoon and placed a bowl in front of him. "Like Ernest, I'll always be family to you." Eric's throat tightened. The words hit him harder than he expected. After a long pause, he gave a nod. "Alright." "Con. Eat," Linda urged.

Eric took a spoonful. It was warm, but it tasted like nothing.

He once knew what having a family felt like. But now, he was being shut out all over again.

What kind of misfortune had he brought upon himself in his past life? Abandoned by his parents at birth. Now, left behind by his lover. Life twisted and turned without warning. And still, he walked its winding path alone.

Using the address Hadley had given him, Brady arrived at her apartment on Millland Road.

He frowned. Did she really live here? Wasn't she adopted by the Flynn family? Wasn't she Eric's wife? What was she doing in a place like this? It wasn't that the place was run-down, but it simply didn't suit someone of her background.

Brady pulled up beneath the apartment complex, his mind full of questions. At the entrance, Hadley was already there, waiting. “Just park here," she welcomed him with a smile. “Make sure you're not blocking the way, and it'll be fine." "Alright." Brady stepped out of the car, still looking puzzled. "Hadley, do you actually live here?" "I do," Hadley responded. Sensing his doubt, she smiled softly and explained, "Eric and I got divorced stago." Brady froze. "Since when?" Weren't they all over social media not long ago with their official statement? "It's a long story. If you want to hear it, I'll tell you in bits and pieces. But for now, let's go meet my daughter. And don't mention any of this in front of her. She doesn't know." Hadley paused, and her voice grew even more serious. "And don't bring up her father either. She has no idea who he is." Brady's expression shifted, and a quiet heaviness settled in.

What kind of life had she been living all these years? "Let's go." Hadley smiled lightly. "Joy didn't even nap when she heard you were coming."

The two of them walked into the apartment building, one after the ve other.

"This is it." Hadley stopped in front of a door and pulled pot ad pulled put her keys. Brady held his breath, feeling a little anxious.

The moment the door swung open, the sound of small footsteps cI rushing toward them, followed by a sweet little voice. "Mommy! Mommy's back!"
