Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 196 She’s a Special One

Paulo’s words revealed to Erin and Roman that he had a younger sister who had passed away at a young age.

“I’m sorry.” Erin looked apologetic and regretful.

Roman’s eyes flickered, feeling a tinge of sadness upon hearing about Paulo’s unfortunate experience of losing a loved one. He said. “I’m sorry for your loss.”

Paulo looked at them, smiling nonchalantly. “It’s alright. It’s been many years.”

To help Paulo quickly snap out of his painful memories, Erin pretended to be eager to swipe to the next photo on his phone. However, Paulo gently blocked her hand which was about to reach for his phone. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Don’t touch my phone recklessly. You might stumble upon my private photos that might be too hot for your eyes.”

Erin instantly withdrew her hand smilingly. “I can imagine how hot it could be… I mean, seeing two men together…”

Paulo suddenly became agitated. “What do you mean? Are you insinuating that I’m gay?”

Roman casually remarked. “It seems more like she’s blatantly saying that you’re-”

“Hey! Are you two asking for trouble? How dare you offend your main attending doctor? I’ll make the nurse give you fake medicine and make you both turn into idiots.” Paulo was clearly infuriated, his face alternating between different shades of red.

Erin was rather surprised. “Look at his reaction. What do you think, Roman? Is he or is he not gay?”

Roman looked at her, fully understanding her question.

Paulo’s sexual preference was a mystery to everyone. Just five days ago, Erin borrowed a bottle of bright red nail polish from Paulo’s secretary, Jenny, one evening. She felt like painting her toenails on a whim. Jenny was excited and happy to see that Erin had developed a
