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.

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.
