Chapter 100 I Will Help You

Upon hearing Matthew’s question, Erin burst into tears. She threw herself into his arms and cried in distress.

Hearing her sobs and noticing her red eyes, he suspected something had happened to her.

Matthew thought someone must have bullied her, and he urgently asked, “What happened, Erin? Tell me who bullied you. I won’t let them off!”

Erin was alone in a suburban hotel wearing only a bathrobe. She must be naked underneath.

He thought someone had assaulted her.

If it weren’t for his friend filming in the nearby studio and having agreed to drink with him that night, he wouldn’t have come over to confront her about the noise from her room and subsequently run into her.

Despite Matthew’s persistent questioning, Erin refused to tell him anything until she cried herself out. Finally, she lifted her head and said, “I want to break up with Chandler…”

“Really?” Matthew could hear the excitement in his voice, but he quickly composed himself and asked, “Why?”

Erin got up unsteadily and headed to the bathroom. Matthew asked, “What do you need? Let me help you get it!”

She smiled faintly and said, “Oh, I want to pee…”

Matthew felt somewhat awkward and walked towards her. “Let me help you. I’m afraid you might fall.”

After she entered the bathroom, he took the initiative to close the door and waited outside for her.

A short while later, Erin opened the door and almost stumbled. Concerned, Matthew said, “Let me carry you.”

He then lifted her up and carried her back to the bedroom, helping her to lie down in bed.

Erin looked at Matthew’s blue striped shirt in her drunken state and said apologetically, “I’m sorry… I got your shirt dirty.”
