Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 151 A Friend’s Encouragement

Two days later, at the airport exit in Fleuverton, Erin walked out from Exit 10 holding a duffel bag at 9 pm. She looked ahead and quickly spotted Ken standing next to a black sedan. Before she boarded the plane, Roman had called to say that Ken would come to pick her up. Although Erin tried to decline, Roman insisted, so she didn’t refuse any further.

“Ken!” Erin took the initiative to greet Ken, wearing a mask and sunglasses. 1

Upon hearing her voice, Ken recognized her. “Erin, if you hadn’t called me, I wouldn’t have recognized you at all.”

Erin approached him apologetically. “I’m really sorry. Did you wait for a long time? I didn’t expect the flight would be delayed-*

“It’s okay. I’ve been playing games in the car the whole time. Let’s go, Erin.”

Erin nodded and got into the car. Ken closed the door for her and went over to the driver’s seat. Before long, the car left the airport.

Inside the car, Ken expressed concern. “Hey Erin, is your mother ok now?”

“She’s fine. She has been eating more these past two days.” Erin took off her mask and put it in her handbag.

Ken informed her. “By the way, as per your instructions, your good friend Ms. Green has been staying in your hotel room these past two

days.”

Erin asked, “She said she would come to pick me up. Why didn’t she come along?”

Before Ken could answer, Erin’s phone rang. She took out her phone from her handbag and saw that it was a call from Holly.

The moment she tapped on the answer button, Holly’s laugh could be heard over the line. “Erin, have you arrived in Fleuverton?”

Given the difficult situation Chandler is in, why can’t you be the one to give him courage? Even if he’s wealthy and influential, he’s just an ordinary person, and he also has family members he cares about. Why can’t you ask him about it directly, Erin? It wouldn’t be too late to let go after you confirm with him that he has really given up. Think about Chandler, Erin. Think about his perfect appearance and how he behaved when he was with you. Are you really willing to let go like this? Don’t forget, he and Alana are just good friends, not lovers. What are you afraid of?”
