Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 97 Only a Lover

When Kyle arrived at the hospital with the meal, it was already past five in the afternoon.

Wearing her patient gown, Erin walked over to the couch and sat down. Chandler had already opened all the meal boxes Kyle brought.

The coffee table was filled with Erin’s favorite dishes. They were all packed neatly in exquisite mini containers.

Tears sprung to Erin’s eyes when she saw that. Choking with emotion, she said, “These are all the dishes I love…”

An unusual tenderness flashed across Chandler’s eyes as he gently brushed her long hair. “I wanted to cook for you myself, but now that you’re hospitalized, I had Kyle search for all the dishes you love in the city…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Erin, deeply moved, threw herself into his embrace and sobbed softly. She never expected. him to be so attentive.

She never anticipated such meticulous preparations made just for her.

The best way to win over a foodie was to treat her to all her favorite dishes.

Erin’s heart was captured by this table filled to the brim.

Chuckling softly, Chandler took the napkin from Kyle’s hand and wiped away her tears. “Silly girl, you refused the thirty million I offered back then because you thought it was too little, but now you’re moved to tears only by a table full of food. Erin, you are such a foolish and naive foodie.”

She took the napkin and wiped away her tears while pouting. “You’re the foodie…”

“Stop crying. Let’s eat together.”

“Okay!”

With tears still brimming in her eyes, Erin looked utterly adorable. Unexpectedly, Chandler was captivated for a moment, and his icy heart softened ever so slightly.

Erin impatiently grabbed the utensils and stuffed her mouth with food. It didn’t take long before her cheeks bulged out as if she was a squirrel.

Chandler helplessly said, “Slow down. You’re going to upset your stomach! Nobody’s going to take your food away.”
