Semua Bab Love's New Bloom: Bab 841 - Bab 850

Matthew's retort elicited a furious outburst from Calla, who had been putting up with him all this while. She reproached, "Don't you know what's good for you? Have you forgotten how miserably you were kicked out of the restaurant earlier? You got into this state yourself. Who else can you blame for this?""Shut up! Who gave you the right to judge me? Even if I were beaten to death, it's my own business! Get lost and stay away from me!"Matthew shook off their hands rudely. He staggered backward, nearly losing balance.The next moment, Matthew slapped himself fiercely with what little sobriety he had left. He widened his eyes to force himself to sober up. "Mrs. Frost, let's leave him be. There's no point helping a stubborn person like him." With a cold look on her face, Calla didn't spare another glance at Matthew.Erin stood still for a while. After a few moments, she said, "Matthew, I've already told you about Alice in the message I sent you. There's been no news from Claire s

Three days later, Erin heard from Chandler that Simon flew to Emstia just to apologize to that waitress. Erin and Chandler both knew that Simon's intentions went beyond the apology.It had been so many years. Upon discovering that someone other than Erin could elicit a physical response in him, Simon could no longer stay calm.When Erin relayed this to Holly, she felt a sense of relief. They were currently at a coffee shop owned by Kylan.Erin remarked, "You seem quite happy for Simon.""Yes, I'm genuinely happy for him," Holly replied."Why?""I'm with Tay now. I don't want Simon to be all alone. Otherwise, I'd feel guilty."Holly's concern for Simon puzzled Erin. "But back then, he was the one who called off the engagement. It wasn't your fault. Why would you feel guilty toward him?"Her question made Holly smile bitterly in response. "That's true. I even tried to kill myself because of him. How extreme and crazy I was when I loved him!"But isn't it ironic? Not long after t

Holly's concerns were not unfounded. Erin remained composed and said, "The world doesn't revolve around Yvette. If she's unhappy, that's her problem. In the past, I might have considered her feelings, but I won't do that anymore. I'll focus on being my best self."Her transformation brought a relieved smile to Holly's face. "It's wonderful seeing you like this, Erin. In the past, you always put others before yourself. But most of the time, they didn't appreciate it—just like me. I took your kindness and empathy for granted.""That sort of treatment depends on the person as well. Toward people whom I don't care about, I won't bother."Holly nodded. "That's right. I do the same now. Apart from family, I'll treat everyone equally. If someone genuinely treats me well, I'll do the same for them. Otherwise, I won't waste even a bit of my generosity on them."Erin added, "Yes, we only have one life. We shouldn't let ourselves or our families down."Just as Suzanne and Sean entered the co

"Okay, okay. I get it. I won't smoke ..." Ryder sounded a bit intimidated. When it came to the kids, he didn't dare to challenge Chandler. Erin said expressionlessly, "Whenever you two are together, you always end up bickering like little boys!""It's because Ryder's attitude always makes me want to punch him," Chandler said seriously."Stop making excuses. I think you're just jealous that I'm more handsome than you!"Chandler gave Ryder an incredulous glance. His eyes were filled with disdain and mockery, which irritated Ryder."What's with that look? Isn't what I said the truth?" Ryder asked.Chandler couldn't be bothered with him."Fine, you don't admit it, huh? Let me ask Erin!""Don't ask me such sophisticated questions!" Erin made it clear that she wouldn't be answering."Wifey, I regret sitting next to him ... If I'd known he'd be this noisy, I would've driven instead." Chandler looked out of the window helplessly."I regret it too! Why did I agree to get involved in

Ten minutes later, Erin and Ryder were sat by the window on the ground floor of the Cyranese restaurant. Chandler had gone to the restroom.Suddenly, Erin received a call from Calla."Calla, what's wrong?""Mrs. Frost, is anyone around you?"Erin could sense that something was off with Calla's tone. Her eyes darkened as she replied, "Yes.""Mrs. Frost, go to the ladies' restroom now to answer my call. Don't ask why."After a moment's hesitation, Erin stood up and said to Ryder, "I'm going to the restroom."Ryder was a bit surprised. "Who's calling? Why so secretive?"Without replying, she immediately headed toward the ladies' restroom.Once inside, she said, "Calla, I'm in the restroom now.""Mrs. Frost—"Calla's voice cut off abruptly. Erin gathered that someone might have knocked Calla unconscious."Calla!"After a while, a mechanical male voice sounded from the other end. "Erin, I have Calla, Candra, and Paulo in my hands. You don't need to know who I am. Just do as I s
