Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 208 I’m Not a Scammer

“Why is he here?” Erin screamed wordlessly. Her heart skipped a beal, and she cursed her own bad luck! She would be meeting her ex- husband–no, scratch that–her brother–in–law!

Just as Erin was feeling a flurry of complex emotions, lan and Cherry had already walked into the living room together. Ian wore a dark gray suit with a maroon shirt underneath. He wore an elegant black tie made him look very stylish and put together.

His thick hair was styled handsomely, with each strand seemingly meticulously designed. His appearance was not much different from before; he still looked youthful elegant, and dashing. His skin appeared even more refined and pleasing to the eye, indicating that he had become more particular about his appearance after becoming a billionaire. Moreover, from his appearance, it was evident that he’d started working out and had improved his physique.

“Mom, you have a guest?” A hint of surprise flashed across lan’s eyes when he saw Erin.

Cherry smiled and introduced, “Pam, this is my other son–in–law, lan. He’s Yvette’s husband. lan, this is Pamela, Erin’s close elementary school friend. Pam came to see me today, and we had a long chat.”

Her introduction prompted Erin to stand up politely. She looked at lan, smiled slightly, and nodded while saying. “Hello.”

lan’s gaze remained fixed on Erin. When Cherry looked back at him again, he quickly regained his senses.

lan said, “Mom, I came here without any specific reason. It’s been a while since I last visited you. Yvette has been busy filming recently, so we haven’t been able to come and visit you together. I hope you understand.”

“It’s alright. You and Yvette are both busy. I know that.” Cherry showed lan to the sofa, getting him to sit down.

lan nodded and walked toward Erin as Cherry asked, “lan, have you eaten?”

“Yes, I have. There’s no need to get me any food.”

“It’s great that you’ve eaten. That means I don’t need to cook again. But we should have some coffee. I just brought back some new coffee

beans from my hometown. I’ll brew some for you. Pam, would you like a cup too?”

The mention of coffee from her hometown stirred up some emotions in Erin’s heart. It’d been seven years since she last had a taste of it.

Erin smiled and said, “Sure. I would love that.”

“It’s no trouble at all. You young people can sit and chat. I’ll go boil the water. The coffee tastes best when brewed with freshly boiled
