Chapter 76 An Ill–fated Breakup

“Exactly! As long as you let me buy you dinner this one time, I’ll let go of this matter entirely,” Eugene immediately promised.

“Fine, come pick me up.” Erin hung up after updating him on her whereabouts. It’d be for the best if she could just get rid of someone so clingy as soon as she could.

While walking to where they both agreed to meet up, she typed a message to Chandler via WhatsApp.

“I’ve already sent my mom home. I’ll be having dinner with a friend, so I’ll be back late.”

Less than ten seconds later, she received Chandler’s text. “With who?”

After giving it some thought, she recalled one week ago when Chandler had stopped ordering Hans to tail her, so she felt that

she should be more honest with him too.

“My bestie’s ex–husband.”

“Eugene?” He texted back within seconds.

Just as she was about to type her answer, she received a call from Chandler instead.

“Why are you having dinner with him, Erin?” he quizzed. He sounded bewildered, and she could even hear that he was suppressing anger over the phone.

Thinking back to the incident where Eugene had molested her, she felt that it’d be a hassle to explain everything to Chandler there and then. Moreover, she knew that he’d start thinking all sorts of bad things afterward, so she thought up an excuse to appease him, “He wanted to ask me about Holly.”

“You’d better come home before ten tonight if you know what’s good for you!” he exclaimed after letting out an exasperated sigh.

Erin was undoubtedly a natural beauty. Even without any makeup on, she still looked too beautiful to ignore. Her male companion tonight, Sean, was a living, breathing example of that. Not to mention her ex–husband Eugene, who had always seen Sean as his rival in love. With Erin talking to her with such an innocent and simple look on her face, it was the first time she ever resented her friend.
