Chapter 1120: As soon as the door closed behind him, Wilma rubbed her temples in frustration. "What are we supposed to do now? Has Hadley cast skind of spell on him?" Roderick gave his wife a long look, then sighed. “What can we do? He's made his feelings clear. You've done everything you could to stop him, but everything failed. Maybe it's tto let it go. He's our only son, after all.” "Let it go?" Wilma repeated, still unwilling to accept defeat.

"Let's just let it play out." Wilma exhaled, reluctant but thoughtful. “You might be right.” Could Denver really overlook Hadley's past? Being together for a lifetwas more than just words.
"Alright," she murmured. "We'll do it your way." The next morning, Hadley woke to a message from Denver. "I'm downstairs, waiting for you." It had been sent at five. Now, it was already seven.
She hurried to the window and looked down-Denver's car was still parked there. He hadn't left? She rushed downstairs.
"Hadley." Denver stepped out of the car, a radiant smile on his face, holding a bouquet of fresh flowers. "You're up. These are for you." "Thank you." She accepted the flowers, eyeing him curiously. "You're here so early..." "I couldn't wait to see you." He scratched the back of his head, sheepish but joyful. "I talked to my parents last night. They've agreed not to interfere anymore!" Hadley was stunned. He'd actually gotten through to Wilma? But she couldn't bring herself to celebrate. "Denver..." Her chest tightened.
She didn't know how to say what she needed to say. "After everything that happened in Blathe, and everything since... In my mind, we were over. I never imagined a future with you after that." Your next story is at galnovs"I understand." His smile dimmed slightly, disappointment flickering in his eyes. "But... could you start considering it now?" Hadley hesitated, surprised by his persistence.
After a pause, she said, "Denver, Joy's about to have her surgery, and right now I just..." "I get it." He nodded, sincere. "Joy comes first." He met her gaze, his words measured and careful. "There's no rush. I just wanted you to know how I feel."
His earnestness touched her, but she still couldn't bring herself to agree! "Denver things have changed. Do E you understand?"
Yes, once she'd considered a future a with him. But that was a different time. A different Hadley. Now, En everything was different. She shook her head. "I can't..."
"Hadley!" He stepped closer, his voice urgent. "Even if you're not readym please don't shutout completely." He looked at her with quiet hope. "Just because it's not a yes now doesn't mean it's always a no... right?"
