Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 197 He Likes You

Erin didn’t expect Roman would be so straightforward to point that out. She looked at him and said, “Roman, I didn’t expect you to see it

too.”

Roman glanced at her and continued to gaze at the photo of Holly and Simon. He had a wise look in his eyes as he continued. “I’ve been in the entertainment industry for so many years. I’ve seen a fair share of people from all walks of life. My intuition tells me that someone like Simon is either completely heartless or utterly devoted to one person. He’s a person who has an extreme disposition. Perhaps what I’m saying is a bit arbitrary, but in my opinion. Holly is definitely not the type he would be faithfully devoted to. Sometimes you don’t need to hear it straight from the horse’s mouth. The look in one’s eyes says it all.”

Paulo fell silent at Roman’s words. He looked at Roman again, recalling how he’d burned himself without hesitation for Erin’s sake. Suddenly, Paulo realized something: Roman had feelings for Erin.

Would someone go so far as to inflict harm on themselves for a normal friend? Behind his crazy actions, it seemed his emotions ran deep.

“To be honest, I don’t see any sign of affection in Simon’s eyes in this photo. But Holly is my good friend, and she has told me more than once that she really likes Simon. If Simon has a change of heart toward Holly in the future, perhaps this relationship is worth Holly’s time, after all.” Erin wanted to believe in Holly’s choice. As a friend, she could only support Holly.

After all, Holly was no longer a youthful girl with many years to decide. As an adult, she had the right to choose her own partner. Of course, she would have to bear the consequences of her choices, no matter if they were good or bad.

Roman could sense a faint worry in Erin’s words. He simply said, “Time will tell everything. I hope my intuition is wrong.”

With a sigh, Erin shifted her gaze to Paulo and calmly asked, “Paulo, when are Holly and Simon getting married? Have they already been engaged? Who told you about this?”

Paulo shook his head and replied, “I don’t know when they’ll get married, but I heard the engagement was quite hastily. They got engaged during a trip together. Your mother was the one who told me all about this. During the time you were missing and after your mother moved

to the city. Holly often visited her. Your mother also said that when Holly had nothing to do, she would drag Simon along to find you. It was said that Simon was initially very proactive, but as time went by and there was no news of you, he gave up. Later on, he went abroad.”

Erin and Roman listened quietly. Paulo continued, “When Gaston passed away, Simon didn’t get to see his grandfather one last time, so he felt guilty and remorseful about that. Two months ago, he completely moved back to the country from abroad. Since he got engaged to
