Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 62 The Final Compromise

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 pursuits aroused my interest.”

She didn’t say anything more.

Chandler murmured, “I will try to be good to you.”

Erin remained silent. Her calmness and obedience at that moment soothed his heart.

Erin was a bit nervous and dared not look at him directly.

He sighed. “Go to sleep.” After Chandler removed his clothes and adjusted his position in bed, he hugged her from behind and said to her for the first time. “Good night.”

Erin’s tensed muscles relaxed slightly. She replied after a pause, “Good night.” It wasn’t until she heard Chandler’s even

breathing from behind her that she finally calmed down.

Chandler’s unusual behavior that night made it hard for her to fall asleep. Before, she had deliberately tried to dispose of those

boxes, but he wasn’t mad at her in the slightest when he knew, which surprised and unsettled her.

Remembering everything he had said, she thought about it calmly. Maybe she should try to accept him for who he was. No
