Love's New Bloom

Chapter 56

Chapter 56 Harassed by Her Ex–husband

Erin retorted, “When had I ever made you apologize?”

During that time, it was lan who kept cheekily apologizing to her.

Holding her hand with both of his, lan said in an appeasing tone, “Okay, okay, you didn’t make me. Happy?”

She withdrew her hand in disgust, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes. “Don’t bring up the past anymore…”

Staring at her withdrawn hand, lan felt upset. He wasn’t ready to lose her. He said solemnly, “Tracy left an hour ago.”

Hearing that name, Erin angrily bolted to her feet, but lan grabbed her arm and said irritably, “Can’t you listen to me first?”

Erin struggled in vain to pull her arm off, then turned halfway to him and snapped, “We’ve already divorced! There’s nothing to talk about. Take your hand off me!”

Seeing her stubborn look, lan was pleased instead. He took this as a sign that she was jealous. He yanked her back, and Erin lost her balance and fell onto his lap. He then hugged her tight to prevent her from escaping.

“Let me go!” Erin was so enraged that she wanted to bite him.

lan said, “Give me five minutes to explain, and I’ll let you go when the time is up.”

Erin struggled in vain, no match for his strength. She tried her best to calm herself and said coldly, “What do you want to explain? Spit it out!”

lan continued to hold her tight as he let out a sigh and said, “I broke up with Tracy tonight.”

Erin froze. Her eyes betrayed her complicated feelings, but she chuckled coldly and said, “It’s none of my business whether you guys broke up or got married.”

Her indifference disappointed him. He flipped and pushed Erin onto the sofa, then said as he gazed at her intently, “I broke up with her for your sake!”

Seeing him acting as if it was her fault, Erin chuckled mockingly, “lan, we divorced because of her, and now you’re blaming me? *Seeing him stumped, she continued, “I told you I have nothing to do with what’s going on between you and her, and just do whatever you want, okay? Let me go!”

As lan was about to say something. Erin’s phone rang in her purse, and he saw traces of panic and fear in her eyes. Lowering his gaze, he thought for a moment, then suddenly let go of her, picked up her purse on the floor, and took out her phone.

Erin hastily tried to snatch it back, but lan was much taller. With his hand held up, she was unable to reach her phone even if she jumped. Frustrated, she sat on the sofa and stopped trying.

Standing not far away, lan looked at the caller’s name–Erin had named the person “Psychopath.” He glanced at her. She was looking away, but he could tell from her unnatural posture that she was uneasy. Ian chuckled coldly, “I wonder who your affair partner is!” He pressed the Answer button and said. “Hello, who the fuck is this?”

Stepping out the main door of the Frost residence, Chandler halted in his path. His gaze turned inscrutable, and his pleasant voice was icy as he replied, “And who the fuck are you?”

lan said. “I’m Erin’s husband.”

Sitting on the sofa, Erin shouted, “What the hell are you talking about? We’re divorced!”

Hearing Erin’s voice, Chandler narrowed his eyes. “As far as I know, you two are already divorced, and she’s my woman now.”

lan smiled. “Yes, we got divorced, but we could also get married again! I still have things to talk to her about, so please excuse Us.”

He ended the call.

At the villa, Chandler put his phone away and walked off.

Panicking, Erin could imagine Chandler’s look at this moment. She immediately got up and went over to lan. “Give me back my

phone!”

He did as she asked. Although he was smiling, his gaze was icy as he said emphatically, “Are you truly his ‘woman‘? Who the hell is he?”

Erin said irritably, “Yes, I’m his woman! As for who he is he’s just someone you can’t afford to cross.”

Seeing her leaving. lan grabbed her arm. “Erin, I broke up with Tracy! Do you know why?”

Erin said coldly. “Take your hand off me!”

“I regret divorcing you, and I miss you a lot.”

As soon as he let go. Erin opened the door and left. The moment the door shut, she heard his words.

Weighed down by sadness, Erin walked listlessly away. When she stepped out of the nightclub. Chandler’s message came:” Return to the villa within an hour.”

He didn’t even need to threaten her. Thinking about her mother, she knew she had to obey him.

Erin got into a taxi waiting nearby the nightclub and left. When she was about to reach Chander’s villa, Holly called her. “You should have arrived long ago. Where the hell are you?”

“Holly, I’m going back first. Let’s meet up some other time.”

Holly heard Erin sound troubled and asked, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Just have fun, okay?”

“Well, take care and call me if you need me.”

“Sure.”

Erin put her phone in her purse and kept thinking about what lan had said when she was leaving. “I regret divorcing you, and I miss you a lot…”

Her eyes grew misty, and she shed tears despite herself. What lan said was like a needle piercing through her heart that she dared not pull out. It slowly tormented and suffocated her.

Erin listlessly walked into the villa and froze as she opened the door to her bedroom. Like a phantom, someone was sitting in the dark on the sofa by the bed, his back against the moonlight. She thought Chandler would be in his bedroom and didn’t expect him to be waiting for her there.

“Shut the door.” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Chandler’s casual remark made her shudder, and she timidly shut the door.

He beckoned her with his finger. “Come here.”

Feeling as if her feet were bolted to the floor, Erin didn’t dare to.

“Don’t make me repeat myself.”

In the end, she walked up to him, but her heart was pumping so hard that she could almost hear it.

Chandler bolted to his feet and stood close to her. After a few seconds, he pushed her down and asked angrily. “Whose scent is that?”
