Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 206 I Apologize to You

The next morning, Erin woke up with enthusiasm. She went to the kitchen downstairs to prepare breakfast and planned to go to the supermarket to buy her mother’s favorite food.

Roman had already returned to the set to continue filming. He initially wanted to take more days off to accompany Erin to visit Cherry, but Erin politely declined, saying that she felt guilty about keeping him away from his work.

Since she refused, Roman didn’t insist and went back to filming. However, Erin agreed to his request to stay at his house. After all, it was close to Chandler’s villa, and it would be very convenient for her to go over and teach Asa in the future. In the event something happened to Asa, she would be able to rush over and help out.

Half an hour later, Erin set off for the supermarket. She drove Roman’s car, a white BMW 7 Series. It had been seven years since she drove in the city and the many new roads were unfamiliar to her. Although there was a navigation system installed in the car, the heavy traffic on a Friday morning was quite daunting to experience.

What should have been a twenty–minute drive took a full forty minutes instead. Erin finally managed to enter the underground parking lot

of a popular supermarket chain after braving the horrific Friday traffic.

Unexpectedly, there were many cars at the supermarket that day. Erin circled around the first level several times but couldn’t find a parking

space, so she had to drive down to the next level.

When she got to the next level she saw a parking space not far ahead. However, a car behind suddenly overtook her and squeezed her to

the side, skillfully occupying the parking space she’d spotted first.

According to normal social etiquette, the car behind should have given way and let Erin park first, and they should have driven on and found themselves another spot to park. Clearly, the driver who took Erin’s parking space had no manners or etiquette to speak of.

Erin was so mad that she wanted to get out of her car to confront that person. But upon thinking about it for a second longer, she decided against it. The supermarket would open in five minutes. She’d better save time instead of wasting it on a confrontation.

Just as Erin was about to reverse and leave, the driver who had taken her parking spot got out of his car. She instinctively looked at the

uncivilized person and squinted her eyes. Lo and behold, the man driving the impressive black SUV was none other than Simon.

Erin’s expression stiffened. She had only been back for a few days, and such coincidental encounters with people she knew made her feel

baffled. But she was going to Chandler’s villa to teach Asa how to draw later, so everything else paled in comparison. Encountering past

friends or acquaintances didn’t really excite her.

She snapped out of it. No longer looking at Simon, she focused on reversing. Luckily, she saw a car about to leave not far ahead. Erin waited for a minute, and as soon as that car left, she successfully parked her car.

Next, she got out of the car with the Hermes bag that Paulo bought for her. Erin was wearing a casual black dress with a denim jacket on top. On her feet were a pair of black ankle boots. She was dressed that way because the weather had already turned cool as autumn

she walked forward.

When Erin reached the closest elevator in that area, she saw Simon still standing in the same vicinity while the elevator was going up. He

seemed to be waiting for someone. After giving him a glance, Erin ignored him and stood by the elevator as if he didn’t exist.

Suddenly, Simon spoke to Erin, who was quietly standing next to him. “I’m sorry for taking your parking space earlier. Here’s a hundred

dollars as compensation for your time.”

Erin glanced at him from the side and then looked at the dollar bill in his hand. Calmly, she asked, “Are you talking to me?”

A faint coldness appeared on Simon’s exquisitely handsome face as he retorted, “Besides you, is there anyone else here?”

Erin turned her head and stopped looking at him. “Money can’t change my impression of you.”

Just then, the elevator arrived, and Erin stepped in first.

Simon no longer insisted and put the money back in his pocket. Under normal circumstances, any ordinary person would let the matter go in exchange for money. Obviously, this woman was not an ordinary person.

A slight smile curled up at the corners of his mouth. How could he forget that the woman had been driving a BMW? Considering that, it

familiar items. His office underwent a complete transformation, as did his villa. Everything related to Erin was locked away in a large storage room, including everything from his past office.

His intense yearning and longing for the woman he loved the most would easily go out of control once it was unleashed; it rushed forth like a wild beast released from its cage. The surge of feelings caused Chandler to tightly close his eyes and clench his fists, desperately restraining his emotions.
