NovelEnglishChapter 1619:
Even though they had just seen each other the day before, he still missed her terribly.
“Really?” Elissa’s smile deepened. “Well, | missed you too, Locke.”
She glanced up and met Ernest's gaze. His eyes looked a little weary, but they still looked bright.
He said warmly, “I'm back.”
“Hmm.” Elissa gave a small nod. “You must be exhausted. I'll tell them to set the table. Let's eat first, and then
you can get srest.” With that, she lifted Locke into her arms and carried him inside.
“Alright.” Ernest smiled and followed behind them.
Eric's words from earlier rang in his head: His good days were just around the corner.
And maybe they weren't around the corner after all. Maybe they were already here.
That evening at Olisvale Bay,
Eric and Hadley were invited to the main house of the Scott estate. Ferris had something he wanted to talk
about.

“What's this about?” Eric asked, holding Hadley’s hand as they settled down beside each other.
“Here's the thing...”
Ferris didn’t waste time. He looked directly at Hadley. “It’s about the Jenkins family. When would be a good time
for you? I'd like to arrange a meeting with your family to make a formal proposal and discuss the wedding
plans.”
The Jenkins family? A formal proposal? Discussion of wedding plans?
Hadley froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Eric immediately felt the change in her demeanor and gripped her hand more firmly.
He knew the full story of how messy things were with the Jenkins family. Brady was the only one who'd ever
shown Hadley any decency.
Hadley might be able to accept Brady. But Cade and her stepmother? Never.
“What Jenkins family?” Eric snapped, glaring at Ferris, who seemed to always stir up trouble. “Hadley has
nothing to do with them anymore.”
“Geez!” Ferris huffed, clearly indifferent to the Jenkins family’s . He pointed at Hadley. “Isn't Cade Jenkins
your father?”
Hadley pressed her lips together. She didn’t answer, but her face began to drain of color.
“That's enough!” Eric was unable to stand it any longer. His heart ached for her. “Who said you could meddle?”
“Well, excuse me?” Ferris grumbled, clearly annoyed. “I'm just trying to look out for you two. If we handle the
proposal properly, we can move forward with the wedding. And honestly, the bride should have her family at the
wedding.”
“That's not necessary!” Eric growled, his voice low and rough. “Hadley has me. That's more than enough.”
“What kind of attitude is that?” Ferris shot back, his voice rising. “So she doesn’t cfrom a well-off family—
fine. But her own people not showing up at the wedding? What does that say about the Scott family, taking in a
daughter-in-law like that?”
