Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 112 Bottom Line

Half an hour later. Erin and Chandler sat in the theater. They had the entire place to themselves. Only the two of them sat in the middle of the theater watching a horror film.

Erin had no idea what they were watching the whole time. Her mind was conflicted, constantly reminding herself that she couldn’t be entangled with Chandler. The man had a fiancée, for Christ’s sake!

But his hand, which was already sweating, held onto hers tightly, refusing to let go.

She turned to look at him and calmly asked, “Chandler, what exactly do you want? Can’t we just break up properly?”

“No. You can’t break up with me so arbitrarily.” He kept his gaze straight, looking at the female ghost on the big screen without a trace of fear. It was as if he was watching a lighthearted cartoon.

His dominance and arrogance left no room for any reasoning. A smirk appeared on Erin’s lips as she said. “Alright, since you don’t want to break up, then cancel the engagement banquet. Can you do that?”

For her to finally make a request to him, Chandler was somewhat impressed. He gave her a sideways glance and smiled mischievously.” Erin, have you fallen in love with me?”

Those deep, icy eyes became even more mysterious and eerily chilling in the dim environment of the cinema. Even though Chandler was right next to her, Erin still didn’t know what he was thinking deep down. The inability to understand him made her weary.

She couldn’t even gauge if Chandler would be happy or troubled if she confessed her feelings for him. After all, he had a fiancée who was a good match for him.

Suddenly, two glistening teardrops fell, and Erin lowered her face to the side, no longer willing to look at Chandler. He turned around and tried to pull her onto his lap, but Erin refused. So, he stood up, forcefully grabbed her by the arms, lifted her up by the waist, and sat back. down holding her in his embrace.

“I was just asking if you liked me or not. It’s not like I’m asking you to die for me. Why are you crying?” he asked, mildly frustrated.

The more she silently cried, the more agitated he would feel. He wished he could tell her that he didn’t love his fiancée at all and
