Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 164 Tipped Off by a Text

Erin and Saber happened to walk by when Sean opened the bathroom door.

Looking behind him, Erin saw Alana in the bathroom. Alan walked out and said while looking a little awkward. “I had something I wanted to ask Sean …*

Her response instantly made it even more awkward for the other three of them.

Saber knew very well that Alana was talking to Sean about Chandler’s business, but as her boyfriend, it was inevitable for him to feel a little uncomfortable when he saw that. He said, “Alana, I think I forgot to bring sunscreen. Help me look for it in my luggage.”

Saber left upon saying that. Alana laughed and said to Erin, “I’ll be right back. Let’s have a proper chat later!”

Sean and Erin were then left standing in the same place. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said, “Let’s go and have the creamy spinach soup I made for you early this morning today. You’re a pregnant lady, and if your man is not around, you have to take good care of yourself.”

“You know how to make soup?” Erin asked with a smile.

Sean raised his eyebrow a little. “What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? I’ve told you I’m quite good at cooking. What’s so hard about making soup?”

Erin looked at his palm. “You can’t get water on your hand, yet you still made soup?”

Feeling touched, he said, “Silly girl, have you not heard of a thing called gloves?”

At that moment, Erin’s phone rang. She said, “Go on to the kitchen. I’ll get his call.”

Sean waved and headed toward the kitchen.

Erin walked to the pool outside the living room to answer the call. As soon as the call got through, she said, “Roman, you’re finally calling me. I texted you, but you didn’t reply.”

At that moment, Roman was in his study of his villa back in the country. He was holding a shot of vodka and was looking a little serious.

“Roman?” Erin asked.

Roman down the shot before putting the glass back on the table. He seemed to have made a huge decision.

“Erin, I didn’t reply to your text previously because I’ve been very troubled by something. It’s making me feel very conflicted and miserable. I don’t know what to do to not hurt my friend.”
