Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 152 Settle Down Abroad

The Rolls–Royce left the hotel. The driver in front couldn’t see what was happening in the backseat.

At that moment, the temperature inside the backseat was rapidly rising. Erin was pinned down by a lall man, and the man’s icy lips. greedily ravaged the sweetness in her mouth. He ignored Erin’s fierce resistance. Before long, Erin’s lower lip was swollen and accidentally bitten so hard that it bled.

Erin frowned hard as the taste of tangy, sweet blood filled both of their mouths.

Even though the man she desired and longed for the most was right in front of her, she conjured all of her willpower to resist him.

She fervently yearned to embrace him in her dreams every night. But when he appeared before her in person, tears flowed from her eyes uncontrollably. Her heart was in agony, and the diminishing oxygen in the car made her gradually feel suffocated. She was afraid of indulging in this feeling–afraid that she wouldn’t be able to withdraw herself in the future.

She was so scared to the point that even though she could temporarily secure the warmth she so desired, she was too afraid to possess

Chandler withdrew his hand with a darkened expression, his gaze turning cold as he looked ahead. With a casual and cool gesture, he adjusted his black shirt.

“It’s been so many days since we’ve seen each other. Yet, you start crying the moment you see me.” His deep voice made him sound like he was the king of the night, intimidating and carrying a deadly allure.

Erin’s rationality burned fiercely within her as if a phoenix trapped in a cage was screeching to be set free in her heart.
