Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 176

Chapter 176 Twins

After returning to the city, lan put a hold on his work and visited Cherry with some imported health products from overseas.

During this period, Cherry had been living alone in a small villa in the suburbs. She’d requested this herself. Originally, Chandler had arranged a luxurious mansion in the city for her, but Cherry politely declined.

She stated that living in a city reminded her of her missing daughter, and it would only make her absence even more pronounced. She preferred living in the remote suburbs and leading a leisurely life. She would tend to her plants and keep herself busy by having a pet dog while waiting for Erin to come back so that she could take good care of her health when she came back.

lan arrived just in time for lunch. Cherry cooked an extra dish of beef and potatoes and had lunch with her former son–in–law in the living

room.

Looking at the gray hairs that became more and more obvious on Cherry’s head, lan suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart. He held his spoon but didn’t move. He felt as if he had a golf ball stuck in his throat, making it hard for him to swallow.

“lan, why aren’t you eating? Is the food not to your liking? You really should have called me in advance to let me know you were coming. I could’ve gone to the market to buy the ingredients to make your favorite dishes,” Cherry said.

Cherry looked haggard with severe dark circles and swollen eye bags. It made her look at least ten years older than her current age which wasn’t that young to begin with.

Hearing her words, lan put down his spoon gloomily and said, “Cherry, there’s no need to be so distant. Although Erin and I are divorced, you’re still my mother–in–law no matter what.”

What he said made Cherry look somewhat conflicted. After all, she’d already acknowledged Chandler as her son–in–law, so lan’s identity as her former son–in–law had silently faded away over time. It was not easy for her to face a man who had once hurt her daughter deeply and was no longer loved by her. Treating him with courtesy was already the best she could do.

After Erin disappeared, Cherry found solace in religion. She tried to get herself to think positive thoughts every day. When she was alone. she would read the Bible, praying for Erin to return safely as soon as possible.
