Love's New Bloom

Chapter 32

Chapter 32 Utter Desolation

“Erin, why the hell are you flying off the handle? I’m trying to discuss this with you. My mom went to the office today and stayed there for three hours. How could I work in such conditions? She was there to bug me about having children, complaining of how bored she was staying home or playing poker all day. Recently she’s envious of the old couple next door. She said she also wanted grandchildren, and she would care for them. She even made a compromise! She said that it’s fine if you prefer your job, but you must have a child first!” lan said, as if that was the most logical thing in the entire world.

What he said instantly struck Erin dumb with fury. She stood before him, looking at the man who graduated college with her, unable to understand how he became this way. He was becoming more and more like a stranger!

Ever since he started his tech company, he was so used to being a leader in the office that even at home, he was self–centered and selfish. It caused her a lot of grief.

“lan, you listen to me!” Erin snapped. “I will never agree with you and your mom’s foolishness! Do you think having a child is a joke that you could just do it on your whims and fancies? Besides, you and I are about to get divorced–we surely can’t have a child! III didn’t hear this from you, I never would have thought that you could say something so absurd!”

“It’s not absurd! I have given it a great deal of thought! I even gave you a mansion that’s worth 20 million! What more do you want? That is your reward for giving me a child. You should be grateful!” lan furrowed his brow, annoyed.

Erin looked at the seriousness of his expression to realize that he wasn’t joking. She chuckled in fury. “Hahaha! lan, oh, lan. Have you been watching too much of the news? Trying to follow those wealthy families by paying for childbirths. Why do you want to have a child with me anyway? Why don’t you go

find your true love. Tracy Brown? I’m sure she’ll be more than happy to have children with you! I’m sure your mom will happily accept her as her new daughter–in–law!”

“Stop with the nonsense! Don’t bring her up out of the blue. I’m trying to discuss things with you. Besides, my mom only recognizes you as her daughter–in–law. She won’t accept any loose women.” lan grabbed his box of cigarettes and drew one out, lighting it.

Erin narrowed her eyes coldly and said sardonically, “So, your mom could only accept me back then because you were my first?”

lan puffed out smoke, his eyes filled with derision. He sneered and said, “That’s right. It’s indeed because you were chaste back then. But who knows how many men you have slept with now?”

“Heh! lan, since I’m such a terrible person to you, why do you still want to have a child with me? Don’t you find me disgusting?” Erin said with a darkened expression.

lan stood up and walked over to her. He lowered his head and looked into her eyes. “I’ve already said it! My mom only wants you! I can only have the child with you. Just sign the papers, Erin. The mansion will be yours! All you need to do is have my child, and your mission is complete. I’ll let my mom bring up the child. You can come and visit them whenever you want. I won’t stop you.”

Erin glared at the man whom she once loved with all her heart. She suddenly felt utter desolation. She could have lived a happy and fulfilling life, even giving birth to a child, yet their relationship at that point had already gone all up in smoke!

“lan, just forget about It! I’ll never agree. You might want to be a coward, but I won’t! I’ll go and tell your mom about our divorce right now!”

Erin turned and was about to leave when lan grabbed her hand in panic and growled, “Don’t you dare!”

“Why not? She should give this up as soon as possible so that she can pick another daughter–in–law. This matter can’t drag on any longer! * Erin tried to break free from lan’s clutch, but he aggressively put out his cigarette in the ashtray with one hand, then hugged Erin tightly.

“lan, let go of me! I’m going to tell her!”

“Shut up! I’m not going to let you go so you can blabber to my mom!” lan hugged her so tightly that she could not break free. Their bodies pressed against each other.

Sensing how close she was to him, lan suddenly had an idea. He gulped and hastily kissed her.

“Let me go-” Erin was pinned on the desk. lan was an unstoppable wild beast at that moment. She heard a rip and noticed that lan had ripped away her chiffon top.

lan saw her bra and those passionate bite marks on her. “You sure are fucking kinky!” he said hotly, eyes seeing red.

lan reached out and was about to strip her pants off when Erin yelled out loud in panic and anger. “Mom, help me! Help! Mom-

“Erin, shut up!” He restrained her with one hand while covering her mouth with the other.

Erin was so anxious that tears almost fell when Mary entered the room nervously.

Mary was so flustered by what she saw that she turned to the side, not daring to look at them. She grumbled, “What on earth are you two doing? It’s almost dinner! Can’t you wait until after dinner to do it in your room?”

lan was stunned, so Erin took the opportunity to bite his fingers, and he immediately pulled his hand back in pain. Erin then got up, shoved him away, and ran out of the study. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Standing by the door, Mary almost fell when Erin ran past her. “Erin, why are you running off?”

lan bore through the pain in his fingers and strode over to help his mother. He asked, a little incensed, “Mom, are you alright?”

“lan, w–what the hell were you two doing?” Mary blushed. She thought that something must have happened to Erin since she yelled so loud that she could hear them from downstairs, yet when Mary opened the door, she saw her son forcing himself on her daughter–in–law.

“Mom, you won’t understand. It’s how young people have fun.”

Mary rolled her eyes at lan, shook her head, and left while saying, “I’m indeed too old to understand all this.”

lan heard Erin slam the door downstairs. The resentment in his heart grew stronger. He had let Erin escape multiple times. Although it infuriated him, he was also a little excited by it.

He thought back about how Erin used to wait for him in the bedroom to return home every day, but he never returned home–or touched her at all–with the excuse of working late and going on business trips. However, at that moment, he had become a jerk that wanted to take advantage of her.

lan followed Mary downstairs to the dining room to have dinner with a darkened expression.

Looking at the roast meat on the table, he put a small piece in his mouth. He thought, “Erin Lane, as long as we’re not divorced, you’re still my wife, and you have to fulfill your duties as one! Next time, I won’t let you escape!”

Erin ran out of the mansion hastily wearing lan’s coal, one she grabbed in panic when she left. When she realized it was too late, she not longer dared to return to the mansion to change her clothes.

Although it was night, there were still people having a walk around the neighborhood. Erin was walking rather awkwardly and blushing.

hoping no one would notice how unkempt she looked, when a man came across her.

“Look at you! Were you caught having an affair?”
