Chapter 1494:
Eric paused and then said, “I've got an idea that might help her warm up tonaturally. But | will need you to
agree.”
Hadley turned to him, intrigued. “What's your plan?”
“It's just...” Eric looked straight into Hadley’s eyes—so clear, so warm, brimming with tenderness. “If we get
married again, I'll naturally becher father. As for everything that happened before, we can explain it to her

Joy was still little. There was no need to burden her with things she couldn't understand yet. If they got remarried
and Joy grew up with Eric by her side, loving and protecting her, she’d cto see him as her dad. In time, she

Eric could already tell what was running through her mind. He offered a gentle, comforting smile. “No rush. You
don’t need to decide right now. Just take your tand letknow when you're ready.”
Besides, he could see now that he’d rushed things a bit today. Marriage wasn’t something to take lightly. He
should've slowed down and given her the proposal she truly deserved.
The first tthey got married, it had all happened too quickly, without ceremony or care. This time, he wanted
to get it right... every part of it.

Just then, Hadley received a message notification on her phone.
Eric glanced at the screen but didn’t ask.
“It's Elissa,” Hadley said. “Her divorce just went through today.”
“That's good.” Eric nodded, letting out a slow breath. “It dragged on long enough.”
He tilted his head slightly. “And... how does she feel about Ernest now?”
Hadley frowned, shaking her head. “I'm not sure.”
