Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 87 Wronged

Erin froze when she heard the pleasing and soothing voice by her ear. Her eyes jerked open, and she stared straight at him. Though she couldn’t see him clearly, she could make out his familiar figure and silhouette. And she could recognize his voice anywhere.

A mixture of anger and sadness came over her as she asked with a tremor in her voice, “Chandler?”

“Yes, it’s me,” he answered.

In order to reassure her of his identity, he even switched on the night light on the nightstand. A soft purple glow lit up the room. The gorgeous face that Erin was madly in love with emerged before her eyes.

The fear and shame she felt earlier on were instantly replaced by pure relief.

“Thank goodness it was him.” That was the only thought that went on in her head.

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Finally, she burst out in tears, sobbing like a child. “Have you lost your mind? Why did you treat me like that? I was scared to death!”

Chandler did not know how to answer Erin when she was having an outburst. He was about to go mad with the emotions he was suppressing. The apology that had been on the tip of his tongue simply refused to be said. He felt extremely wronged and indignant at the thought of how Erin chose to believe May’s words over his.

He was a man of 30 years of age. He had experienced being wronged by his father in his youth, and he also came across many crooks in business, but never had he lost his temper as he did then.

He already had a mind to set up a family and have kids with Erin. But it seemed like that was far from the case on her end! She did not even have the most basic trust in him! If ever another woman appeared and pulled the same trick, would he be unjustly blamed again?

The recollection of her mistrust in him caused the pent–up anger and chagrin within him to erupt all at once. “Erin Lane quit crying!” Chandler bellowed. In a fit of rage, he bolted off the bed and walked across the room. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes after taking a seat on a couch.
