Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 212 Endless Yearning

Erin took the tissue that Asa handed her, and amidst her tears, she broke into a smile. Seeing how well Chandler had educated Asa and how kind the little boy was, she was overwhelmed with gratitude. She wished she could plant a kiss on Chandler to thank him for bringing

up their son so well.

*Thank you, Asa. Did I scare you just now?” Erin wiped away her tears.

Asa shook his head quietly. “I used to see Grandma cry all the time. Whenever she mentioned my mom, she would cry for a long time… But then Aunt Yvette started accompanying Grandma more, so Grandma is much better now. Miss Pamela, I don’t like seeing you cry. It

makes me unhappy.”

Erin nodded. “I’m sorry, Asa. I won’t cry anymore in the future. I was just thinking about a friend earlier. She’s also good at drawing. Would you like to see the comics she drew?”

Asa was immediately intrigued, and a smile returned to his face. “Yes. I want to see!”

Erin smiled and stood up. Then, she went to the sofa to retrieve her bag. From it, she took out live small comic books. These were the comics she’d been drawing in the Garden of Eden up until now. The stories inside were created for Asa, with the intention of showing them to him someday in person. She wanted to tell him her story through her illustrations.

She wanted to let Asa know what she’d been through during the years she wasn’t by his side.

Once Asa received the comics, he was deeply attracted to the cute and cool drawing style. After flipping through a few pages, he showed joy but also furrowed his brow. “Miss Pamela, I don’t know many words yet. If it’s in Feirmondian or Emstian, it would be easier for me-*

His comment made Erin wish she could change the dialogues and captions in those five comic books to the languages her son had just

said he understood better.

“It’s okay. I’ll read them to you from now on. How about that?” Erin quickly came up with another suggestion to appeal to her son.

Asa smiled sweetly. “That would be great! I love listening to stories. Miss Pamela, why don’t you tell me one now?”

Before Erin could say anything, Chandler, who was at the door, couldn’t bear to listen any longer and pushed the door open.
