Chapter 125 Perfect Fit

Erin’s slap brought back some rationality in Simon.

Strands of his hair hung limply in front of his eyes, and the side of his lace that was slapped had a

slight reddish hue. Simon forced a smile and said, “That was a good slap

After saying that, he took two steps back and slowly turned around. He then walked toward the window.

Simon leaned his arm against the window frame, but it was unclear what he was thinking. Erin stood

where she was, watching his lonely and desolate figure. The raging emotions within her seemed to

have been doused with a bucket of cold water, and she began to calm down.

Both of them fell into silence, and after about ten minutes, Erin decided that she couldn’t stay any

longer and started to leave.

At that moment, Simon turned his head and said, “I’m sorry. I was too impulsive just now… I… I

shouldn’t have thrown your phone out of

the window.”

Erin, with her back still turned to him, thought of her phone sinking to the bottom of the lake. She felt a

flicker of anger in her heart. But when she thought about how Simon lost control over himself after

hearing that recording, she felt guilty for being so cruel toward him.

She considered them even. Her phone would serve as a punishment to her for telling on Megan and

getting involved with their private”

affairs.

Seeing that she still hadn’t turned around, Simon felt a trace of unease and guilt in his heart. He

apologized once more. “I’m sorry!”

Finally, Erin responded, “You’ve already apologized. Let’s forget about the phone-”

“I’m apologizing for my earlier behavior. I don’t know what came over me, I “His cheeks became even

redder.

Only then did Erin realize he was referring to the kiss earlier.

Even now, Erin could still feel the burning sensation on her lips. When Simon forcefully kissed her, he

was actually venting his anger and

frustrations. Unfortunately, she became the outlet for his release.

“Simon, I hope you won’t tell anyone about what happened today!” Erin turned around and glanced at

him warningly.

Her words made him laugh at his sorry state. “Are you referring to me being cuckolded by Megan? Or

are you talking about the fact that!

kissed you?”

Erin’s eyes flickered slightly, and she said, “Both.”

He took the initiative to walk over to her and confessed, “Don’t worry. This is an insult to me as well. No

man would willingly admit to being cuckolded. Although I really don’t want to say thank you, if it weren’t

for your honest disclosure, I might have proposed to a woman who

wasn’t right for me today …

Her heart skipped a beat. She didn’t expect his visit to the studio today to be such a fateful event.

Right then, Simon took out an exquisite, black ring box from his pocket. After opening it, he took out a

large diamond ring and held it in his

hand. “What do you think of his diamond ring?”

Erin frowned as she squinted at the ring. Its design was simple and elegant, and in terms of the cut and

clarity of the diamond, It was undoubtedly a valuable and perfect diamond ring.

She didn’t want to lie, so she spoke honestly, “It’s very beautiful.”

Simon stared at the ring coldly and handed it to her. “Since you think it’s beautiful, I’ll give you this

diamond ring. Consider it

compensation for your phone.”

Erin looked at him in surprise and immediately shook her head. “I can’t accept it! If you don’t want this

ring, you can return it.”

She couldn’t accept a ring like this, especially when it was given as compensation for her phone. It was

too extravagant, and she didn’t dare to accept It.

“If you despise this ring as well, then maybe it’s better to throw it away.” Simon turned and walked

toward the window.

Seeing that he really was going to throw the ring out of the window, Erin instinctively shouted, “Don’t

throw it!”

Simon’s raised hand froze immediately, and he turned to look at her. “So does this mean you’ll accept

it?”

“I already said I can’t accept it. Can’t you just return it?” Erin was torn, finding Simon’s behavior quite

peculiar. Why did he insist on her accepting it?

He smiled faintly. “I might as well tell you since I’ve already embarrassed myself in front of you. I read a

line in a book that said if you return a ring you bought yourself, it will bring bad luck to your future

relationships. I don’t want to Jinx all my future relationships Just because of Megan.”

Curiosity burned in Erin’s heart as she thought, “So that’s the reason Why haven’t I heard of something

like this before?”

She gritted her teeth and said. “Okay, I’ll keep the ring for you temporarily. Whenever you want to take

it back, just come and get it.”

Simon sighed helplessly. “Fine. Let’s do it your way.”

He approached her again and placed the diamond ring in her palm.

After Erin took it, he suddenly took the ring from her hand and said, “Do you mind if I try it on you?”

She asked in confusion, “Try it on me?”

Simon pulled her right hand and accurately slipped the ring onto her ring finger. It fit perfectly as if it

was specially made for Erin. He suddenly laughed. “Erin, did you know? This ring caught–Megan’s

attention, but it’s a unique piece. The designer only made it in this one size, and it didn’t fit Megan’s

ring finger at all as she was too skinny. But she still loved it nonetheless. She said it was just an

engagement ring, so she can wear it on her middle finger. Unexpectedly, your ring finger fits this ring

perfectly.”

Something stirred within Simon’s complex gaze as he lifted his eyes to appreciate Erin’s exquisite

beauty in close proximity. Suddenly, he felt that Erin, who was wearing the ring, was radiantly beautiful.

There was a small crack on her lips, and there was a slight tint of blood. His eyes darkened instantly,

recalling the scene where he’d cornered her against the wall and kissed her. Simon’s body was filled

with restless heat that moved around rapidly. His brain began to constantly recall Erin’s tender and pink

lips, and he felt his throat go dry as if he was parched and thirsty for her.

Simon concealed the flickering and fluctuating emotions in his eyes from Erin, so they went unnoticed

by her. Her attention was fixed on the diamond ring on her ring finger, and she couldn’t help but

imagine how she would feel if Chandler was the one who placed that ring on her finger.

Even just imagining it caused her heart to beat unusually fast. Erin suddenly realized that her

expectations for Chandler had gone way too

far.

However, the thought of Chandler’s engagement ring being worn on Alana’s finger immediately chilled

her heart, and she quickly took off

the ring on her hand. Erin’s abrupt action brought Simon back to reality momentarily.

She awkwardly said, “The size of the ring does fit me. I’ll keep it for you, and you can come and get it

whenever you want.”

Simon nodded silently and didn’t say anything else.

Ten minutes later, the two of them left the loft together. Before parting ways, Simon took out his custom

phone from his pocket.

He handed the black, slim, and technologically advanced smartphone to Erin and sincerely said. “This

is my personal phone. You can use

it temporarily until you buy a new one. You can return it to me after you get your hands on a new one.”

Erin was taken aback and declined him immediately. “No need! Tomorrow, I’ll go to the

telecommunications company to reactivate my old

phone number and buy a new phone while I’m at it.”

He nodded to show that he understood her decision but still forcefully stuffed his phone into her hand.

Simon’s face showed guilt as he said, “Erin, please use mine for now. Please allow me to lessen the

guilt I feel toward you.”

She was a bit hesitant. “But **

“After you buy a phone, give me a call, and I’ll come to get back my phone. My work number is saved

in the phone I gave you.”

Before Erin could refuse again, Simon had already turned around and walked away.

“Simon” Erin was at a loss for words, so she didn’t say anything more.

She suddenly realized that Simon really resembled Chandler in some ways. Chandler was domineering

and indomitable, while Simon was radical and stubborn.

2/3

When Erin retumed alone to Roman’s dressing room, there was already a woman waiting for her

inside. That woman was Megan.

After finishing the scene with Percival, she hurriedly rushed to Roman’s dressing room.

The moment Megan saw Erin, she immediately recognized the black phone in her hand. With her

eyebrows raised high, she immediately asked accusatorily. “Miss Lane! Why is my boyfriend’s phone

with you?”
