Love’s New Bloom By Simone Hastings

Chapter 91



Chapter 91 A Billion Dollars 

As Erin met his gaze, her heartbeat suddenly intensified. She could even hear a thump in her ears

Taking a deep breath, she gathered her courage and said, Chandler, I’ve wrongly accused you previously! I’m sorry!” 

After apologizing, she hung her head in remorse

Chandler snorted coldly without saying a word, but a hint of pleasure flashed across his eyes

Emboldened, Erin slowly approached him and stopped five paces away

With unwavering sincerity in her eyes, she said, Thank you for tonight!” 

She inclined her head to show her sincerity and clasped her hands together in a motion of gratefulness

Chandler suddenly said coldly, Alright, I’m not dead yet! You don’t have to act like that with me.” 

Hearing his impatient tone, Erin was somewhat amused. He seemed displeased with her acting coy after getting away from the situation

Chandler leaned back against the chair behind him and uttered in a chilling voice, Instead of those useless words, why don’t you do something practical? That would show your sincerity.” 

Upon hearing his request, Erin naturally felt delighted. Owing someone a favor could be burdensome, so she asked, Go ahead, I’ll listen. As long as I can do it, anything is possible” 

A playful glint appeared in Chandler’s eyes, and his exquisitely handsome face caused Erin’s heart to race inexplicably. She even found it somewhat intimidating to meet his gaze

Recalling their encounter from the previous night, she felt a mixture of embarrassment, resentment, and lingering apprehension. Yet, an overwhelming sense of gratitude engulfed her at the same time

In moments like these, she couldn’t help but feel immensely grateful for Chandler’s help

Suddenly, she realized that the favor he had granted was beyond measure, and she was unsure how to repay it

Her mind was filled with conflicting emotions, and she was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn’t notice Chandler had approached her

It wasn’t until her lowered gaze caught sight of a pair of men’s indoor slippers that she snapped to reality

As Erin raised her gaze, she found herself caught in the firm grip of his slender fingers on her chin. Chandler leaned down, his voice dripping with cold arrogance as he gazed at her and said, Since you want to express your gratitude, why not do it with money? Give me a billion dollars!” 

Erin’s mind went blank for a moment and her face fell. I don’t have a billion dollars” 

Chandler’s lips curled up slightly. Who was the one on the plane who said she was worth a billion dollars?” 

Erin immediately felt intimidated by his words. Mr. Frost, I am not worth a billion dollars!” 

Chandler refused to relent. I believe you are worth a billion!” 

Erin looked up at him pleadingly. But I really don’t have that much money. As you know, I only have the five million dollars… 

Her words caused a glimmer to flash across Chandler’s dark eyes, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye. He smiled and said, Alright, I’ll take five million dollars for now, and you can slowly repay the rest.” 

With that, he abruptly released her pointed chin and returned to his seat

Seeing his nonchalant expression, Erin felt like she was going crazy. Where was she supposed to find so much money

Mr. Frost, I’m afraid I won’t be able to repay it in my lifetimeShe was on the verge of tears

Chandler glanced at her coldly, furrowed his brows, and pondered. In that case, I don’t want to trouble you either. Here’s what we’ll do” 

Yes?Erin looked at him eagerly, hoping he would say she didn’t have to repay anything just because he was in a good mood

It would be better if he didn’t take away that five million dollars. After all, she still wanted to buy a house

Chandler responded solemnly, Then let’s go for a flesh trade. A hundred dollars at a time.” 

Upon hearing this, Erin almost fainted on the spot

Only then did she realize that Chandler was joking with her

Chandler, stop joking around. Can you please be serious and propose something reasonable? I want to express my gratitude to you, but can you suggest something within my capabilities?Erin furrowed her eyebrows with a grim expression

Noticing Erin getting anxious, Chandler started to get serious. He said in his usual commanding tone, Just stay by my side, and don’t go anywhere! Return to work officially tomorrow, and from tonight onwards, move back to the villa.” 

Erin’s shoulders slumped instantly. She went around in circles only to end up back where she started

However, she admitted that if it weren’t for the incident involving May falsely accusing Chandler, she wouldn’t have voluntarily left in the first place

Chandler’s voice raised an octave when he noticed Erin’s drooping head and silence. You don’t like the idea?” 

Erin muttered in a low voice, I didn’t say that” 

Erin, don’t forget my warning! I told you if you dare to find another man” 

Erin interrupted him, I know, I know! I won’t look for other men. If I did, you would make him bankrupt. Don’t worry. I won’t harm anyone! After all, if I don’t go to hell, who will” 

Erin Lane! You’re asking for trouble!Chandler stood up in anger

Terrified, she quickly fled, opening and closing the study door gently before leaving

Chandler saw her making a face at him before she left

The anger that had been building up in him disappeared in an instant… 

This foolish woman seemed to be getting bolder

Was that a good thing or a bad thing

Conflicted, Chandler continued to work

Erin slept well that night. She didn’t dare to sleep in Chandler’s bedroom, so she slept in the guest room she used to sleep in

Unexpectedly, the guest room was just as she had left it, as if in anticipation that she would return one day. The room was spotless

However, the moment she woke up, she was so startled that she almost screamed. As soon as she opened her eyes, a flawless, enlarged face of a man came into her view

His arm was wrapped around her waist, yet she had slept so peacefully without noticing

As expected, her body was used to his presence

Gazing at the man who had saved her last night, Erin cautiously leaned closer to his face, wanting to kiss him

However, before she could make contact, a pair of deep, inkblack eyes opened and stared directly at her. Startled, Erin instinctively leaned back

Chandler pressed his large hand against the back of her head and guided her lips toward his. As their lips met, there was a tingling sensation, as if an electric current was flowing through their bodies

2/3 

In a commanding motion, Chandler shifted his position, and the desire that flickered in his eyes made Erin’s heart tremble

Suddenly, a sentence flashed through her mind. You came to my rescue, but I can only offer myself in return” 

A few seconds later, Erin blushed while shyly asking, When did you take off my” 

He murmured seductively, You’re getting less defensive against meIt’s a good sign.” 

I was just too tired last nightErin tried to explain

Chandler gave her a mischievous smile and silenced her with a kiss

Over the next three hours, Erin was exhausted to the point of collapsing

I’m hungry. Can we please stop?she pleaded cutely, almost resorting to crying

She had already begged several times, but Chandler beside her seemed deaf to her pleas for mercy

With an arrogant expression, he replied, I’m hungry too.” 

Erin lost her patience. Aren’t you tired at all? I am human, not a machine” 

Meanwhile, Chandler remained engrossed in his favorite activity… 

Finally, Erin couldn’t hold back her anger. She enunciated each word clearly, I need to use the bathroom!Her bladder was about to explode

Chandler was left speechless
