Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 37 Confrontation on All Sides

Erin’s answer clearly made Chandler unhappy.

“Why are you not divorced yet? Are you ignoring my wishes, Erin?” Chandler looked right in front, but Erin could sense him gritting his teeth.

The tension in the car was so palpable that Erin could feel her hair stand. She didn’t want to aggravate him, so she said feebly. “My husband-”

Chandler cast her a murderous gaze. “How dare you still call him your husband!”

Erin immediately corrected herself. “He insists on having a child before getting a divorce.”

“What the fuck?”

What she said stunned Chandler so much that he swore.

“I also thought that what he said was nuts! I didn’t say yes! But he is an erratic imbecile–I can’t do anything about it! When I returned him the five million dollars previously, he almost…”

Chandler narrowed his eyes and asked in a quiet yet dangerous voice, “Did he touch you?”

“No! He failed to!” Erin quickly explained. She had a vague feeling that if lan really were to do something to her, she would have died a terrible death.

She was very sure that Chandler was an authoritarian control freak! Sean’s messages previously had told her so too.

Chandler didn’t find her explanation satisfactory, but he said nothing more. The mood in the car was frosty as they traveled in silence for the rest of the journey.
