Chapter 1239:
Denver, caught off guard, hesitated briefly. “Why would you think that?”
“Humph!” With a sharp exhale, Eric's frustration boiled over. “Really? You're her boyfriend, yet you've ignored
her all day. She's seriously ill, fainted from a raging fever. You weren't aware? What sort of partner does that
make you?”
Hadley was ill?
A shadow passed over Denver's face as he felt a pang of sorrow.
However, he maintained his composure, offering a slight smile. “Really? | wasn’t aware.”
“You!” Eric's gaze hardened, his voice cold. “What are you even saying? You're her boyfriend—"
“No,” Denver said evenly, cutting him off. “I am not her boyfriend. That's not true.”
What? What had Denver just revealed?
Eric stood dumbfounded, struggling to grasp the situation. “Are you out of your mind? Could | have
misunderstood?”
“You're not mistaken, and nor am | insane.” Denver met his gaze firmly, his voice calm. “Hadley and | are not

“Bullshit!”
In a sudden burst of anger, Eric seized Denver by the collar, his eyes piercing. Tension pulsed at his temples.
“What are you saying? Clarify now!”
“I'm saying that I no longer have feelings for Hadley,” Denver replied, his voice steady despite the tension.
Eric's temper flared like a storm on the horizon. “What in blazes did you just say?” he barked, his voice sharp
with disbelief. Shock had loosened his tongue, and a curse slipped free.
His dark eyes blazed with fury as he seized Denver by the collar, his other hand balled into a fist, poised to strike
like a hammer waiting to fall.
Denver stood his ground, unflinching, his eyes drifting shut as if welcoming fate’s verdict. “Go on; hit me. |
deserve it. I'm a jerk!”
Eric's face drained of color, his jaw locked tight, his trembling fist betraying the storm raging within. Yet, his
poised fist hovered in the air, never meeting its mark against Denver.

This was the man Hadley cared for—Denver. Striking him would wound her too.
Eric's lips pressed into a thin line as he growled, “Why?”
“Why?” Denver's eyes fluttered open, a wry smile twisting his lips like a bittersweet melody. “I don’t know. |
just... don’t love her anymore.”

“True,” Denver said with a faint chuckle. “I did say that.”
“Then what is eating you?” Eric was a volcano ready to erupt, his blood simmering beneath the surface.
