Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Suicide Attempt

Upon hearing Simon’s words, Roman calmly said, “Sometimes, what the naked eye sees may not necessarily be the truth.”

“Heh. I see that Erin is enjoying it quite a bit. And she insists she has nothing to do with Matthew. Does she really think I’m a fool?” Simon felt slight displeasure in his heart. He detested women who said one thing but did the other.

Ever since being betrayed by Megan, his impression of women had taken a drastic plummet.

Roman wanted to say something to defend Erin, but he’d just witnessed her embracing and kissing Matthew. How could that be

explained? Did she betray Chandler? Or did some conflict arise between her and Chandler?

Suddenly, the wooden door was opened, and Erin stormed out with a slightly flushed face and an angry expression. As soon as she came out, she saw Roman’s back and Simon on the stairs. She guessed they’d probably witnessed the scene earlier.

Thinking of that, she felt even more awkward and embarrassed.

Roman turned to look at her. He asked, “Erin, what’s wrong with you? You don’t look too good.”

She lowered her head and said, “I’m feeling a bit unwell. I’ll go back first. Can you please take care of the bill? I’ll give you the money tomorrow.”

Simon looked at her with a puzzled expression, feeling that things seemed a bit different from what he’d imagined. Roman wanted to ask more, but Erin sidestepped him and quickly walked up the stairs.

As Erin passed by Simon, he instinctively reached out and grabbed her arm. “What’s going on between you and Matthew?”

This question made Erin go ballistic. “What’s going on? I’ve already said I have nothing to do with him! Whoever gets drunk and behaves erratically in the future, be careful! I’ll beat them to a pulp the next time this happens!”

She forcefully shook off Simon’s hand and continued walking up the stairs in a fit of rage. After Erin turned the corner and walked into the corridor, Matthew happened to open the wooden door and walk out.

He was taken aback to see both Roman and Simon in front of him.

Matthew’s tone was somewhat unnatural as he spoke up. “You guys. Why are you here?”

Roman’s gaze was glum. He’d already deciphered the hidden meaning in Erin’s words, and his tone was quite sarcastic as he said, Matthew, if you’re truly a man, be straightforward and honest in your dealings. Why did you force yourself against a woman?”
