Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 200 Perfect Masterpiece

In these seven years, Erin didn’t slack off. She had now become a famous online comic artist. The comic she drew was still ongoing and hadn’t come to a conclusion yet.

Three years ago, she even managed to write two movie scripts, both of which were bought by film and media companies.

Due to the need to keep her identity a secret. Roman had been representing her in signing contracts with film companies and comic. websites. He would receive the remuneration for her work on her behalf and then transfer it to her.

Although Holly and Simon got engaged back then, they agreed to part ways on peaceful terms the night before their scheduled wedding registration. Holly still couldn’t cure Simon’s peculiar condition, which made her feel disappointed and defeated. Moreover, Simon also confessed to Holly that he’d never loved her. He said that breaking up was the best choice for both of them. Simon explained that a marriage without love would only result in mutual loneliness for both parties in the loveless union.

After the breakup, Holly invested all her energy and time into entrepreneurship, starting a fashion magazine. On the other hand, Simon worked incessantly by accepting one case after another, becoming a total workaholic.

As for Chandler, he immigrated to Shornland with Asa four years ago. Erin received the news about them through Roman all the while. Chandler and Asa were doing well. However, two years ago, Chandler remarried.

The person he married was his good friend, Alana. Chandler entered into this marriage only for the sake of his son Asa and also for Alana. As Asa grew up, he became very dependent on Alana, who treated him like her own son. One day, Asa told Chandler that he wanted Alana

to be his mother.

On top of that, Alana’s dire situation back then also worried Chandler. The man she loved, Saber, had died in an accident. Saber sacrificed himself three years ago to save three drowning teenagers. Saber’s death impacted Alana greatly; she was unable to come to terms with the death of her most beloved. Over time, she developed depression. She’d told Chandler that she wanted to end her own life and be with Saber at several different time periods. Chandler became extremely worried about her mental state.

When he saw how sunny and happy Alana was when she was with Asa, coupled with Asa’s wish to have a mother, Chandler worked up the courage to talk to Alana about what he had in mind. His purpose was simple–to make Asa happy and to take better care of Alana.

And so, this marriage, devoid of love but held together by a deep bond of friendship, was successfully solemnized. When Erin learned about this, she didn’t speak for a whole week. She didn’t cry either. She just quietly stayed in the hospital room.

At that time, Paulo thought she might once again be unable to cope. But unexpectedly, one week later, Erin returned to normal as if
