Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 110 Feel Sorry for Me

While Erin was hesitating about how to answer, a familiar voice sounded from behind them. The voice was deep and extremely pleasant to the ears. “Simon.”

Simon looked toward the person and his consistently frigid face showed a hint of a smile. “Chandler!”

Erin froze upon hearing the man’s voice, while Holly turned around and saw Chandler. She whispered discreetly, “Erin, it’s Chandler …

Erin kept her head down and refused to turn around. On the other hand, Chandler followed Simon’s line of sight and spotted the two of them who were standing not far away.

“Chandler, your friend came to pick me up. She said she wanted to thank me by treating me to a meal.” Simon’s gaze landed squarely on Erin.

“Oh, who is it?” Chandler asked coldly.

Holly smiled awkwardly toward Chandler and pointed at Erin. “It’s her.”

No matter how much Erin tried to pretend this wasn’t happening, she had to face reality at the end of the day. She finally turned around and said, “Hey, long time no see.”

Seeing her greet him so nonchalantly, Chandler’s expression hardened as he turned to Simon and said, “Let’s go.”

Chandler’s apparent dislike toward Erin made Simon cast a subtle glance at her. Helpless, Erin looked at his aloof figure and pouted. She felt very uncomfortable, and a fiery flame of resentment surged in her heart.

After their breakup, he’d gone back to being that distant and unreachable handsome guy, and Erin had reverted to her former sell.

They were supposed to have nothing to do with each other anymore, yet they always seemed to encounter each other through their shared circle of friends. Feeling annoyed. Erin wondered if she should change her entire circle of friends.

Five minutes later, Holly and Erin walked out of the airport, preparing to take a taxi back. Unexpectedly, they saw Simon standing by the roadside not far away, waving at them.

Holly excitedly pulled Erin’s hand and walked forward.

When they reached Simon, he took the initiative to speak, “Miss Lane, is the lunch invitation still valid?”
