All Chapters of Love's New Bloom: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

"Hold it! What has my cousin done for you to treat her like that?" Erin hurried down the stairs.Chandler stared at her impassively. "Why don't you ask her, Erin?" His breath reeked of alcohol. Erin could smell it from where she stood, more than 15 feet away.May sat on the ground in only Erin's nightgown. One of the shoulder straps had slipped off her shoulder. Most of her skin was exposed, and she was just short of being indecent.She hastily covered her chest with her hands and raised her head, weeping grievously to Erin, "Erin, he…He attempted to force himself on me while he was drunk. I tried to leave! But he pushed me to the floor and tried to…I can't live with this! I'd rather die!" May sobbed dramatically.A murderous glint flickered in Chandler's eyes. How dare this shameless bitch churn up such stories to slander him? He had half a mind to just strangle her to death right then and there! He drew a deep breath to calm himself down.Erin's expression was one of shock. She could

Erin could tell from Matthew's voice that he was pleasantly surprised; somehow, she felt bad about it. She chuckled awkwardly. "Do you find it strange for me to call you?""Yes! Very strange indeed! You never once contacted me of your own accord even though you've got my number, and I make sure that my phone's never switched off," Matthew teased.Erin found herself at a loss for words."Erin, is there something you'd like to know?" Matthew probed.Erin was amazed. "How'd you know?""That's because I'm on the same wavelength as you!" Matthew laughed, sitting in the VIP lounge like the rockstar that he was. His manager gestured for him to take note of the time, waving their boarding ticket in his hands.Erin giggled. "Alright then, maybe that's true.""Can you give me a few minutes, Erin? I'll call you back right away!""Yeah, sure. You go ahead."Matthew swiftly ended the call and told his companions, "I'm not attending the music festival anymore. You guys have fun and enjoy yourselves.

Ian was not angered by Matthew's words. Instead, he simply laughed it off as Matthew stared at him coldly.The thought that Erin was leaving in such haste because of this man brought a hint of sharpness to Matthew's amber eyes.Erin was also astonished by Ian's response. She was surprised that he hadn't flown into a horrible rage."Let's go, Erin." Ian reached out and placed his arm around her waist.His sudden intimacy repulsed her. But she remembered how he told her that paparazzi were lying in wait outside, so she did not struggle to free herself.A coldness crept into Matthew's eyes when he saw Erin's compliance with Ian's actions. He couldn't hold back from asking, "Erin, aren't you divorced already?" It was just an offhanded question, but somehow, it gave Erin a sense of condescension.It was as if she had become a foolish woman who was going back to her cheating ex-husband. She wanted to explain herself, but the thought of the paparazzi out there, as well as her relationship wit

Erin froze when she heard the pleasing and soothing voice by her ear. Her eyes jerked open, and she stared straight at him. Though she couldn't see him clearly, she could make out his familiar figure and silhouette. And she could recognize his voice anywhere.A mixture of anger and sadness came over her as she asked with a tremor in her voice, "Chandler?""Yes, it's me," he answered.In order to reassure her of his identity, he even switched on the night light on the nightstand. A soft purple glow lit up the room. The gorgeous face that Erin was madly in love with emerged before her eyes.The fear and shame she felt earlier on were instantly replaced by pure relief."Thank goodness it was him." That was the only thought that went on in her head.The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Finally, she burst out in tears, sobbing like a child. "Have you lost your mind? Why did you treat me like that? I was scared to death!"Chandler did not know how to answer Erin when s

Erin wasn't quite used to how open Dana was being. Dana would never have visited such a place in the past. But she thought of how she had once acted on impulse and hired a male escort in the past and decided that she was in no position to judge Dana.Erin awkwardly proposed, "Dana, why don't we just have time to ourselves? We can just sing and have a few drinks. I don't think we need the male escorts, do we?"Milly and Ella obviously felt uncomfortable with the arrangement too. "That's right, Dana. I think we don't need them…" Ella echoed.Ella only learned that Milly was going to be there when she entered the private room. Had she known earlier, she would not have turned up.Ever since she had a falling out with Milly, she no longer talked to her anymore, unless it was absolutely necessary.If not for Dana, who told her that she would find a job back in her hometown, she did not even feel like attending the gathering.There were eight of them in the room, all well-dressed and looking
