Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 113 Intoxicated Rage

Erin’s voice immediately raised by an octave. “What? What happened to my dad?”

lan replied seriously. “Let’s talk face to face. It’s not convenient to talk about this over the phone. Where are you now? I’ll come to find you.”

Since this was Steven that they were talking about, and if he’d approached lan, Erin was quite sure it had something to do with money.

It was late now, so it was definitely not appropriate for an unmarried man and woman to be alone together. But since her biological father

was in trouble, she couldn’t afford to worry about that at the moment.

Erin quickly gave lan her new address, and he said he would rush over to her right away. Looking down at the nightgown she was wearing. Erin felt that it was inappropriate. She quickly changed into casual clothes.

In less than half an hour, lan arrived. After he entered her house, Erin went to make him a cup of coffee. As soon as lan stepped into the

living room, she smelled the alcohol on him.

“Thanks, Erin.”

lan looked at the cup of coffee and felt a mixture of emotions. It was so familiar yet so distant at the same time. Since their divorce, he hadn’t had coffee brewed by her for a long time.

Erin furrowed her brows slightly and asked, “Did you drive here yourself?”

His eyes flickered with guilt, and he answered softly. “Yes.”

In the past, lan’s habit of drunk driving was a sensitive issue for both of them. They would argue over it every time without fail.

lan took the initiative to apologize, “I’m sorry, I didn’t keep my promise again…

Erin chuckled lightly in response. “If you don’t cherish your own life, other people’s concerns won’t make any difference to you.”

In the next second, lan stood up from where he sat and started moving over to the sofa. Erin gave him a wary glance.

He then sat back down and said sincerely, “I know you care about me. I swear I won’t drink and drive again next time!”
