Chapter 1108: Why was Eric saying all this? Eric took a steadying breath. "I know everything now. Brady is your brother." Hadley's eyes widened in shock. How did he find out? Did Brady tell him? Eric turned his face away for a second, trying to collect himself. When he looked back at her, his eyes were red- rimmed. "Brady was right. I don't deserve you. Ten years have passed, and I barely know you. What right do I have to keep holding onto you?" Hadley sat in stunned silence.

"Finished your soup?" Eric asked, glancing at her bowl. "Letget you something more." He reached out, but her hand shot out gently to stop him. “Hadley..." "There is no need." She looked at him calmly, a slight smile playing on her lips. “I've had enough. Thank you." And just like that, the realization settled over her. "So this is a parting meal, isn't it?" Eric shut his eyes tightly. Pain coiled in his heart as he nodded with difficulty. "Yes. This is the last time. When you walk out that door later, I'll have no reason to bother you again." "Oh." Hadley smiled softly. "No need to make a big deal out of it." "This is the last time," Eric repeated, shaking his head. "I just wanted to get one last good look at you." "Okay." Hadley nodded, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and locked eyes with him. "Have you seen enough? I'm full." The implication behind her words was clear. She was ready to leave.

Eric swallowed the lump in his throat and nodded. "It's enough." "Alright." Hadley smiled faintly, picked up her bag, and stood. "In that case, I'm leaving." "Okay." Apart from that, he had nothing left to say.

She hadn't reached the door when a warm, firm body suddenly pressed against her back. Her spine stiffened; every muscle in her body went still.

It was Eric. He had wrapped his arms around her from behind.

Hadley stood frozen in his embrace, too stunned to move.

"Hadley!" Eric's voice cracked as he buried his cheek against her shoulder, his arms holding her tight. His voice, thick with emotion, was hoarse and broken.

"I forgot to tell you... I'm sorry. It's been ten years, and I have just realized I've fallen in love with you. I'm sorry. It's too late, but I had to say it."
