NovelFameChapter 1378:
“Got it. Go sit down and wait.”
“Oh. Okay.”
With only one hand to use, Eric moved slowly.
Hadley’s curiosity kept her rooted in place. She wasn’t even that hungry anymore; she rested her chin on her
hand and waited in silence.
Half an hour later, Eric placed a bowl of steaming soup in front of her.
He smiled. “Now dig in. Careful—it’s hot.”
“Okay.”
Hadley adjusted the bowl, lifted a spoon, and took a small sip.
“Well?” Eric leaned in a little, his voice tentative.
Hadley glanced up. Her brows lifted as she gave him a thumbs-up. “It’s really good.”
“Right?” Eric let out a breath, pulled the chair beside her, and sat down. “Haven't made that in years. Lucky | still
remember how.”

Hadley paused. That caught her off guard.
What kind of life did he have before he joined the Flynn family?
Then she heard his voice. “I used to...”
Just as if he had read Hadley’s thoughts, Eric abruptly steered the conversation toward his past.
With a wistful smile, he revealed, “You know, before joining the Flynn family... | had to depend entirely on myself
for survival.”
After fleeing the Scott family, his life had unfolded in harsh fragments of struggle. As a mere child, barely a few
years old, he had escaped the Scott family only to fall into the clutches of traffickers right after.
“As | grew older and they still couldn’t find a buyer...” Eric's lips curved into a faint smile as he recounted his
history with unsettling casualness. “They keptaround to help cover their operations. | ended up also
handling chores like laundry and cooking. Eventually, | mastered it all...”
Those years had carved hardship into his soul. Until Linda and Ernest entered his life.
“The three of us supported each other, clinging to one another just to survive.”

Eventually, they had clawed their way out of that nightmare together... Aware of Hadley’s aversion to Linda, Eric
stopped there and deliberately left the details vague.
Hadley lowered her gaze, piecing together the unspoken parts as she silently continued her meal.
