Stunned by what Chandler said, Alan drove off without a word. The next day when Erin woke up, she sat bolt upright when she saw her surroundings. She looked at Chandler, sitting in front of her, and asked, "Why are we on a plane? Where are we going?" Writing an email, Chandler looked up at her. "Grecia." "Why are we going to Grecia?" Feeling like she was in a dream, she looked at the blanket on her and glanced around at what seemed to be a private jet. "For vacation."Erin found his simple answer hard to accept. "What about my job? I didn't even tell my parents that I'd be going overseas. What if they went to look for me?"Chandler shut his laptop and said, "I knew you would worry too much, so I gave you a sedative shot."Erin was shocked. "No wonder I wasn't even aware that I boarded a goddamn plane!" she thought. "If we're going on vacation, you could have told me. There's no need to give me a sedative shot—"Seeing she was about to blabber on, Chandler interrupted,
Seeing Erin's innocent face, Chandler looked away and said, "What a greedy woman!" During the meal, Erin focused on eating and didn't let him spoil her appetite. He got a flight attendant to bring some top-quality red wine, and she left after pouring them each a glass.Seeing the flight attendant leave, Erin suddenly asked, "Chandler, what do you usually like the most? And what do you hate the most?" He leisurely sliced the top-grade, medium-rare steak, and blood oozed out. Erin felt a little nauseous seeing it as she only ate her meat well done. Chandler put a piece of steak into his mouth and chewed it slowly before swallowing. "Why do you ask? Trying to please me?"Erin chuckled awkwardly. "I'm going to stick around you for three months, so I guess I should know more about you…" "I hate a lot of things, and there aren't many things I like." Erin was speechless as he had basically told her nothing. As he wasn't ready to respond to her, she decided to give up. After
Two hours later, Erin sat on the deck of the yacht, dangling her legs outside while holding an ice cream. She looked at Chandler, who was not far away, and thought, "Damn, he sure has a great body…"Erin remembered a psychologist once said that people with great bodies were usually very self-disciplined and had excellent self-control. "I guess Chandler is someone who has remarkable self-restraint!" she thought."Erin, come help me reel in the fish."With his back to her, Chandler was slowly reeling in the fish with his fishing rod. Hearing that he had caught a fish, she felt a surge of admiration for him and hastily got up to go over. When she saw the lively fish jumping out of the water, she exclaimed in amazement, "I didn't know you're so good at fishing!"Chandler glanced at her and said casually, "I'm good at many things." He saw her staring at the sardine and said discontentedly, "Give me your ice cream. Take the fish off the hook and put it into the bucket." Erin look
"Yes! At least from what I know about Mr. Frost. My father is the butler of the Frost family, and he was the one who told me all these." From what Kyle had said, Erin realized that Chandler had choked her because of his trauma. She understood childhood trauma could greatly impact a person's life. Suddenly, she felt a surge of sympathy for Chandler and even felt bad for him. "Thanks for telling me," she said. Kyle smiled. "You're welcome. Honestly speaking, Mr. Frost has treated you rather differently. You're the first woman who has ever stayed with him for so long." Erin, however, didn't enjoy hearing that and chuckled in derision. "Are you going to tell me that I should feel honored and be grateful to him?"Kyle immediately explained, "You got me wrong. All I'm saying is that Mr. Frost has never been in love before. He doesn't…""Mr. Morn, you're overthinking it! My relationship with him has nothing to do with love. He doesn't even know how to respect a person, let alone to
Erin's face changed as soon as she saw the box in Chandler's hands. She asked, "Since you already know, why do you still want me to look for it?" She was now certain that he had most definitely seen her at that time.Chandler watched her closely, recalling what Kyle had said to him before. He walked to her side and took her hand, leading her back into the bedroom. When they had both returned to the bedroom, he held her in his lap. Erin didn't resist. She knew that the more she resisted, the more interested he became in her. Chandler told her calmly, "Erin Lane, don't keep making those stupid mistakes on purpose. I'll let you go after three months." She looked at him. At that moment in time, his eyes didn't seem as cold as it usually was, but there was a certain darkness and mysteriousness within them that she didn't understand. Erin asked calmly, "Why me?"His gaze lowered as he seemingly contemplated her words. After a while, he replied, "Maybe your constant resistance to my p
After Chandler was done with his phone call, he and Erin rushed back to the hotel as quickly as they could. Kyle had already sent someone to pack their luggage in advance.Once everything was set, Chandler and Erin boarded a private plane home. During the entire flight back, Chandler's face was tense and cold. He barely spoke a word to Erin. She only learned about Claire's plight through Kyle. …Upon their arrival, Chandler rushed to Liberty General Hospital as soon as possible. Naturally, Erin did not go with him and returned to the villa instead. For some reason, her heart felt empty. She even contemplated going along with Chandler to visit Claire, but he didn't make such a request, and she couldn't make herself bring it up. Moreover, her current identity and relationship with Chandler made it even more awkward for her to tag along. After taking a shower, Erin sat in a daze. She thought about calling her family. Previously, she had activated the function on her phone that ena
Matthew's eyes were slightly teary as well. He sighed, "If it hadn't been for your support all those years ago, I never would have been able to become who I am today." Erin wiped her tears away. "You're too humble! Someone with the kind of talent you have will shine no matter where they are." Together, they walked to the seats. Erin was equally as emotional as she spoke again. "I never thought we would have the chance to meet again. Ten years really passed in the blink of an eye." Speaking of time, Matthew's gaze lowered. "All those years ago, my father had never really supported my interest and pursuits in music. He'd always controlled my finances strictly. My only source of income was the money I saved from secretly selling scrap iron. When I heard that someone else was vying for the electric guitar I so desperately wanted, the guitar I now hold in my hands, thanks to you, I immediately rushed to bargain with the store manager. If it hadn't been for you back then, I'm afraid th
Erin had not gotten a chance to explain everything to Chandler before Matthew's gaze fell upon her. Earlier, he had been too preoccupied with trying to avoid Chandler and had overlooked her. After all, his concert was swiftly approaching. He absolutely could not have any injuries on his face! That was his responsibility as a celebrity to the public. Now that he caught sight of the woman he loved on the ground, a twinge of pain shot through his chest. Matthew immediately walked over and got down on one knee. Nervously, he asked, "Erin, are you okay? Are you hurt?" "I'm fine…" Erin's heart was cold. Even if Chandler hadn't used his full force when he pushed her just now, it was enough to hurt her. It was only when Matthew had helped her up that she realized the scrape on her knee. "Don't say you're fine. Look, your knee is injured! I'll take you to the hospital straight away." Matthew exclaimed as he attempted to lift her up. Before he could, however, Chandler had already rus
