Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 128 Set Things Straight

This was the first time Erin heard Chandler speak to her like she was an equal. Universally, people should treat each other with equality and respect. But in Chandler’s world, he was quite used to others lawning over and flattering him. The fact that he was willing to change for her, however slight, didn’t go unnoticed.

She looked deep into his eyes, and Chandler patiently awaited her response.

Finally, she decided to place the trust she held in her heart in the palm of his hand. “Chandler, I choose to believe in you.”

His black dark shimmered faintly, with a subtle glint of brightness shining from deep within. Her words gently reassured his unsettled and uneasy heart.

A hint of delight crept up to his eyes as he held her hand and kissed the back of it. “Thank you for trusting me.”

Erin smiled from the depths of her heart, and that smile captivated him. The next moment, Chandler stood up, walked to the desk, and picked up his wallet. Then, he returned to sit beside her, Erin curiously watched his actions and saw him lake out a piece of paper that was folded into a neat little square from his wallet.

After unfolding it, he presented the paper before her with a roguish smile. “Remember, from now on, I’m your new creditor.”

Erin looked at the promissory note she had written for Louis, which had somehow ended up in his hands. With her mouth agape, she asked in astonishment, “How did it end up with you?”

He lightly tapped her forehead and scolded her, “You little minx! Instead of borrowing money from your own man, you borrowed from someone you don’t even know all that well and is a total stranger. Can you afford to repay this much money?”

Chandler’s expression revealed that he wasn’t the most pleased, but the faint indulgence in his words made Erin feel a bit spoiled. She asked, “You helped me repay my debt to Louis?”

“Of course, do you expect me to wait around and let him find an excuse to pursue you?” Chandler gave her a look similar to how one would

look at a naïve teenage girl.

Helplessly, she argued, “I had no choice… My father’s company.

Chandler pinched her cheeks, adopting a parental tone while saying, “I already knew about your father’s situation. Actually, it was a trick played by my father to force you to accept his fifty million dollars. My old man loves to buy people’s loyalty with his wealth. You did well to
