Love's New Bloom

Chapter 27

hapter 27 My Woman

“It’s me.” Chandler appeared in the room suddenly.

Chandler had thought Sean would run into Erin if he returned to his room to change. As expected, it really did happen!

Surprised, Sean stared at Chandler. He didn’t expect Erin to know Chandler. He pretended to remain calm and casually asked with a smile. “Chandler, is she your friend?”

Elegant and dignified, Chandler strode in and glanced at Erin, who was rooled to the ground. Then he approached her and took her hand.” She’s not my friend. She’s my woman.”

His voice was casual yet it hit Erin and Sean hard.

Erin looked up at Chandler, not understanding the meaning behind his words.

Sean lowered his gaze. A moment later, his stiff hands relaxed, and he continued to do his tie leisurely. Then, he answered in a soft voice.” Oh.”

“I’ll take her out first and come find you later.” Chandler held Erin’s waist and walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as they left. Sean, who had been pretending to be calm, turned pale. Feeling slightly dejected, he sat on the sofa and watched Chandler lake Erin away. He didn’t understand why he felt a bit empty inside.

It seemed like he’d fallen for Chandler’s woman. In any case, it wasn’t the first time this had happened. He shouldn’t be too concerned.

Chandler walked down the stairs with Erin after exiting the room. However, he led her to the parking lot instead of the banquet hall.

Walking up to his Maybach, he opened the passenger door and said, “Get in.”

Erin was a bit surprised. “Where are we going? I came with my friend. I can’t leave alone.”

“You don’t have to attend the banquet. Anyway, you don’t know anyone there. Get in the car first.” Chandler pushed her into the car as he spoke.

After closing the door, he walked to the driver’s seat and drove away from the Dunn family’s mansion.

Sean saw everything from the second floor. He snorted coldly. “Does he have to be so nervous?”

For some reason, Sean felt angry at Chandler’s overly defensive behavior. He didn’t have any plans to take Chandler’s woman away. However, he’d changed his mind now.

In the car, Erin reluctantly called Holly and lied. “Holly, I’m really sorry. The red wine stain won’t come off, so I’ll head back first. It’s too embarrassing to wear a dirty dress. I’m sorry…”

Holly understood her situation. “It’s okay, Erin. You should go back. But how are you going back? It’s hard to get a taxi here!”

“Don’t worry. I’ve already called a taxi.” Erin could sense that the man next to her was upset.

“Okay, then be careful on the road. I’ll be leaving soon. See you at home.”

Erin put away her phone. Chandler stared straight ahead and asked in a cold voice, “Am I your taxi driver?”

She glanced at him and replied. “You heard what I said. I just lied to make an excuse.”

“It seems like your friend doesn’t know about me.” Chandler’s voice was devoid of emotion. Erin remained silent, which he took as an admission. After a while, Chandler asked, “How did you meet Sean?”

“Who’s Sean?” Erin frowned.

“Erin, you know I don’t like others lying to me.” Chandler warned. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

She thought for a moment and asked, “Are you talking about your friend?”

Chandler didn’t answer, but she understood. She explained, “He’s the guy I met at the Royal Chamber last time–the one who helped me tie my dress straps into a bow.”

So it was him…..

He immediately remembered the scent of men’s cologne that had lingered on Erin’s body that night. He’d smelled it on Sean a few times. No wonder it smelled so familiar.

“Erin, I’m warning you to stay away from Sean.”

“I don’t need you to remind me. I’ll stay far away from him.” Chandler didn’t know what happened between Sean and her.

Hearing Erin’s words, Chandler felt his mood lightening up. “That’s great.”

Erin had doubts in her heart. “You just told him that I’m your woman. What did you mean by that?”

A complex emotion flashed through Chandler’s dark eyes and disappeared instantly. He replied, “What else could it mean? It means I’ve

slept with you, and he should stop thinking about you.”

Erin was furious when she heard his answer. “Stop the car. I want to get off here.”

Hearing him objectify her made her feel ashamed. She was a person, not an item!

“Why are you throwing a tantrum? We’re on the highway. How can you get out of the car?”

Erin glanced outside and saw that they were indeed on the highway. She was so angry that she turned her face away and remained silent.

The atmosphere became very tense. Chandler drove with one hand as unknown thoughts flashed across his eyes.

It was when the car left the highway that Erin said again, “I want to get off.”

Ignoring her, Chandler continued to drive forward.

She turned to him and asked, “Where are you taking me?”

“To my place.”

“I’m not going! It’s already late, and I want to go home and sleep!” Erin was really angry..

Chandler smiled slightly and said. “There are many rooms in my place. Just pick one.”

“I don’t want to go!”

Facing her resistance and bad temper, Chandler began to lose his patience. His voice turned colder. “Erin, stop acting up. You should feel honored that I’m taking you back to my place.”

His superiority complex and arrogance amused Erin. “Yes, I don’t know how to appreciate your kindness. Since you can’t stand me, just leave me here. You can take other women to your place and

do whatever you want!”

Not only was she ungrateful for his special treatment toward her, but she even put on an attitude. Chandler smirked.

After checking the road conditions, he pulled over and stopped the car with the blinker on. Without even looking at her, he said expressionlessly, “Get out of the car.”

Erin was obviously stunned, but she quickly reacted. “Fine, I’ll get out of the car. I’ve been wanting to do that!”

Hearing the heavy sound of the car door closing, Chandler stepped on the gas and left quickly.

Erin was fuming as she watched the Maybach leave. He’d really left her at the roadside just like that.

She didn’t want to take the subway because she was wearing high heels. Although this place was a bit far from Holly’s home, she decided to take a taxi.

After waiting for a while, she successfully hailed a taxi. Erin closed the door and told the driver the address before taking out her phone and earphones to listen to music.

She wanted to vent her anger through music. About five minutes later, her mother, Cherry Wright, called.

Seeing that it was a call from her house’s landline, Erin picked up the call. “Mom…”

“Erin, something happened at home…” Cherry was clearly crying.

Shocked, Erin sat up straight. Her heart was pounding violently. “Mom, calm down. What happened?”

“Erin, it’s Grayson… He accidentally hit someone while driving to help me buy goods this morning. Now the other party is asking for two

million dollars as compensation. What should we do?” She continued to cry.
