Love’s New Bloom By Simone Hastings

Chapter 100 I Will Help You 

Upon hearing Matthew’s question, Erin burst into tears. She threw herself into his arms and cried in distress. 

Hearing her sobs and noticing her red eyes, he suspected something had happened to her. 

Matthew thought someone must have bullied her, and he urgently asked, “What happened, Erin? Tell me who bullied you. I won’t let them off!” 

Erin was alone in a suburban hotel wearing only a bathrobe. She must be naked underneath. 

He thought someone had assaulted her. 

If it weren’t for his friend filming in the nearby studio and having agreed to drink with him that night, he wouldn’t have come over to confront her about the noise from her room and subsequently run into her. 

Despite Matthew’s persistent questioning, Erin refused to tell him anything until she cried herself out. Finally, she lifted her head and said, “I want to break up with Chandler…” 

“Really?” Matthew could hear the excitement in his voice, but he quickly composed himself and asked, “Why?” 

Erin got up unsteadily and headed to the bathroom. Matthew asked, “What do you need? Let me help you get it!” 

She smiled faintly and said, “Oh, I want to pee…” 

Matthew felt somewhat awkward and walked towards her. “Let me help you. I’m afraid you might fall.” 

After she entered the bathroom, he took the initiative to close the door and waited outside for her. 

A short while later, Erin opened the door and almost stumbled. Concerned, Matthew said, “Let me carry you.” 

He then lifted her up and carried her back to the bedroom, helping her to lie down in bed. 

Erin looked at Matthew’s blue striped shirt in her drunken state and said apologetically, “I’m sorry… I got your shirt dirty.” 

Matthew looked down and realized he had chosen to wear a more formal shirt today to meet his friend. 

He shrugged it off and said, “It’s okay. If it’s you who got it dirty, it doesn’t matter.” 

Grabbing his hand into her embrace, Erin muttered, “You’re so nice to me. Unlike that bad guy, Chandler Frost! All…all he does is lie to me…” 

Erin’s warm tears fell heavily on Matthew’s arm, causing an ache in his heart. He angrily asked, “Did Chandler bully you?” 

Erin shook her head but nodded after that, leaving Matthew unsure of how to interpret her response. 

Just as he was about to call and curse at Chandler, Erin suddenly told him what happened to her and Chandler. 

She held his hand and wept for over ten minutes, pouring her heart out to him. 

Matthew finally understood the whole story. 

“Chandler is a damned bastard! How could he selfishly keep you as his mistress and get engaged to someone else? Nobody in our circle knows about this. It seems like he hasn’t revealed his engagement to anyone else.” Matthew’s face was cold, and a solemn expression washed over his handsome face. 1 

Erin said in her hoarse voice, “It’s not his fault. I just had too many unrealistic expectations. From the beginning, he told me I was just his mistress. I only stayed with him because he threatened me. Now that he’s getting engaged, I should leave and find 

some relief.” 

Matthew took a few tissues from the cabinet and carefully wiped away her tears. His tone softened. “Erin, leaving is the best choice to avoid more pain in the future.” 

Erin smiled helplessly. “But I’m afraid he won’t let me go so easily. He once said that if any man dared to get close to me, would make that person lose everything.”

Noticing Erin’s voice growing softer, Matthew looked into her eyes and saw that she had fallen asleep while still holding onto 

his arm. 

Distressed, he gently withdrew his arm and helped her lie down before covering her with a blanket. 

Looking at her exquisite face, Matthew looked at his arm again. He couldn’t help but remember the feeling of her holding onto his arm tightly. 

He could feel his temples throbbing and his body growing hot. 

The woman he cared about most was lying before him, but he couldn’t take advantage of her vulnerability. 

Matthew felt like his heart was breaking when he saw Erin still frowning in her sleep. 

How could that cruel and selfish Chandler hurt the girl he wanted to protect so much? 

Gently, he stroked Erin’s cheek, and his amber eyes darkened. “Erin, I will help you.” 

At three am, Chandler had just gotten off the plane. 

Before he got on the plane, Erin not only refused to pick up his calls but also turned off her phone! 

Hans had already sent him a message saying Erin had shaken him off in a taxi. 

Hans was sitting in the lobby of a hotel in the suburbs. He was Erin’s bodyguard. Of course, it wasn’t appropriate for him to check on Erin in the hotel room. 

Chandler’s eyes darkened as he saw the location Hans sent him. Erin had left the villa and gone to a hotel in the suburbs. 

After exiting the airport, he immediately had Kyle drive him to the hotel where Erin was staying. 

Chandler sat in the car with a gloomy face, making Kyle uneasy. 

After five minutes, Chandler asked, “Who did Erin meet today?” 

Kyle answered, “Hans said Miss Lane stayed at the villa all day, but she went to The Grand Oyster Restaurant to meet with the 

chairman.” 

“He finally made a move.” 

“Mr. Frost, judging by the chairman’s style of doing things, I’m afraid Miss Lane was wronged.” 

The lack of sympathy in Chandler’s eyes was evident. He stared at the night scene outside the car window before saying coldly, “This is something she must go through, whether she wants to be my mistress or something more. If she can’t even pass this test with my father, how will she be able to stand on her own in the future?” 

His words were vaguely suggestive, and Kyle made a bold guess. “So, Mr. Frost, does that mean Miss Lane doesn’t have to be just your mistress?” 

Chandler sighed. “It’s not easy to become my woman. I’m not sure if Erin can handle it…” 

Although Chandler didn’t explicitly state it, Kyle understood. He felt a little happy for Erin in his heart. 

Chandler’s words showed that he was already thinking about their future, not just their relationship as underground lovers… 

The hotel was in the opposite direction of the airport, and when Chandler arrived at the hotel, it was already dawn. 

He used his connections to obtain the key card to Erin’s room. However, the view of Matthew and Erin embracing each other in the room shocked him. 

He instantly crushed the key card in his hand! 

Perhaps sensing Chandler’s dominant and overbearing presence, Matthew suddenly opened his eyes and met Chandler’s icy black gaze. 

2/2 

Matthew thought that Chandler would rush over and beat him up. He had even prepared to fight back with his fists hidden under the covers. 

Yet to his surprise, Chandler’s eyes, which were cold to the bone, suddenly swept toward Erin. He calmly asked Matthew, “Did you sleep with her?”
