Chapter 656: A brief moment of bewilderment washed over Eric before he questioned, “This... fiery red?" "Is there an issue with that?" Hadley's expression turned into a slight pout. "It's an excellent color! You're always dressed in black and white- too monotonous for someone your age." Pleased with her selection, she continued, "Such a bold color suits a man of your charm." Indeed, it was a compliment. Hadley had just complimented his appearance! Eric's eyebrows lifted as he couldn't hold back a grin, quickly agreeing. "I believe you're right." Reassessing the fiery red yarn, it now held a new allure.

He stroked the yarn, noting its texture. "This is quite soft." "Exactly." Hadley confirmed. "It'll be very cozy once I've knitted it into a sweater." She then playfully slapped his hand away. "Don't mess it up; you'll make it dirty." "Stingy," Eric teased, pulling his hand back with a smile. “Okay, I get it." "I won't touch it anymore. But I'll be the one wearing it in the end." His spirits lifted. Since he couldn't fiddle with the yarn, he decided to hold Hadley's hand instead.

"Why did you decide to knita sweater?" Hadley gestured towards her wristwatch. "You gavethis lovely watch. I don't have much, so I thought a sweater might be a nice gesture. It's not as grand as your gift, but please don't hold it against me." "What are you talking about?" Eric interrupted her, his smile broadening as he gazed down at her. "Hold it against you? Why would I? I absolutely love it. I'll wear it with pride." In that instant, his look and smile radiated nothing but honesty. Caught off guard for a moment, Hadley quickly withdrew her hand.

"Alright. I'll get it done quickly." "Sure." Just then, a waiter appeared, bringing their ordered dishes to the table. As he placed food on her plate, Eric casually inquired, "What would you like to do after dinner?" "Hmm?" Hadley seemed confused by his question.

"Maybe sshopping, or perhaps buy something you need?" Hadley declined. “No need for shopping or buying anything for me." "Right." Eric remembered then. Shopping was never really Hadley's thing. He paused, thinking, and then suggested another idea, "What about a movie?" This suggestion seemed to startle Hadley, who looked at him with wide eyes.

Feeling slightly awkward under her stare, Eric explained,, "Isn't that what couples usually ad? We've never actually gone to a movie together."

He grabbed his phone as he spoke. "Letbook the tickets right now." Launching the movie ticket app, Eric handed the phone to Hadley. "Choose any movie you'd like to see." His eagerness to make her happy was apparent.

After scanning the options, Hadley selected a comedy. "Let's watch this one." "Got it."

Once they left Winterley Restaurant, they headed to a nearby cinema om Despite it being a weekday evening, eit being a NO the Cinema was bustling with people, and a long line snaked from the ticket booth.
