Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 57 The Standard Rules

Stunned, Erin quickly smelled her dress. Other than cigarette smoke, there was the scent of lan’s cologne. She gave Chandler a look and explained. “I went to look for my friend at a nightclub and bumped into my ex–husband.”

She couldn’t see Chandler’s face as he stood in the shadow, but she felt his anger. Worrying that he didn’t believe her, Erin added, “I’ll never marry him again! Since I’ve promised to become your lover for three months, I won’t look for other men within the period. Can you not suspect me so easily?”

Sensing indignation in her tone, Chandler narrowed his eyes and said coldly. “I’m not suspecting you, so don’t be so nervous. I

know you don’t dare to betray me because you can’t afford to bear the consequences.”

Chandler strolled to the door and said, twisting the doorknob, “Come to my room after you take your shower.”

After he left, Erin weakly caught her breath. She thought he was going to choke her again. She lay on the floor for a while, then got up and showered.

Half an hour later, she walked into Chandler’s bedroom.

The room was dimly lit, and the purplish light made the bedroom look sensual, if not for Chandler. With his arms folded behind his head, the man stared as she obediently came closer..

Seeing Erin in a conservative nightgown, Chandler frowned. “I forbid you to wear any clothes to bed from now on. Do you understand?”

Erin scolded inwardly, “Stupid psychopath! Do you think everyone is a flasher like you?”

“Say it to my face if you dare,” he sneered coldly.
