Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 150 I Wish You Happiness

Cherry noticed that Erin was quite agitated. She said with a sigh. “Erin, I know you’re still upset about

lan’s affair, but it’s been some time already. Shouldn’t you let go of your anger?”

“What exactly are you trying to say. Mom? You’re not trying to convince me to forgive lan, are you?”

Erin questioned, feeling a bit.

disappointed.

There was a hint of embarrassment in Cherry’s eyes, and she hesitated to admit her true intentions.

She patiently persuaded, “Him coming to see me on his own initiative proves that he still cares about

you. He even said he wants to change the names on the property deeds of both villas to yours. Erin,

opportunities like this don’t come often! Don’t you realize how much these two villas are worth? Just

think about it, if he ever wrongs you again, you won’t lose out on anything. You’ll have two villas, and

you won’t have to worry about housing for the

rest of your life!”

Erin knew her mother’s intentions very well. She was simply asking her to compromise and accept the

security that came with owning

property. Even if she were to repeat the same mistakes in the future. she would be compensated in the

form of material possessions.

From a practical standpoint, owning two houses was certainly more reliable than relying on promises

from a man.

Even so, Erin was loyal to nothing but her own ideal of love and marriage. Hence, she didn’t want to

compromise what she believed in for

material possessions.

“Mom, you should have some faith in me. I can earn money on my own, and I can buy my own house

too. You don’t need to worry about

these things. lan and I are done. There’s no need for you to keep persuading me otherwise,” Erin said

calmly and defiantly.

The thought of her daughter giving up the opportunity to acquire two properties pained Cherry deeply.

She steeled herself and took on a

more authoritarian tone. “Oh, Erin. Why are you so stubborn? Before you arrived, lan had already

assured me that he has cut things off

completely with that other woman. He even fired her! He said not even his mother would acknowledge

that woman-”

Erin had reached her limit listening to her mother’s ridiculous advice. Her anger flared up instantly.

“Mom, can you please stop meddling in my personal matters? It’s your choice and your freedom to

forgive Grayson so quickly. I won’t say anything about it! But please respect my

decision!”

Cherry fell silent for a moment upon hearing those words. She actually felt quite ashamed inside for

forgiving her cheating husband so

quickly and easily. However, having control over his assets was better than ending up with nothing if

they were to separate in the future.

“Fine, I don’t have a say in your life choices, after all. Do whatever you want.” Cherry returned to her

seat without saying another word.

Erin felt a twinge of guilt in her heart. After all, her mother was still a patient, and she should have been

more understanding. Thinking of that, she walked over, held her mother’s hand, and said patiently,

“Mom, to tell you the truth, lan is still involved with that woman. He’s lying to your face. He has already

hurt me deeply once, and I don’t want to get hurt by him a second time. I just hope you can

understand.”

Cherry looked at her with reddened eyes and said, “I’m getting old. The reason I care so much about

money is because I’m concerned for your future, as well as Gavin’s. Besides, when Gavin grows up,

he’ll eventually get married and need to buy a house. I want to hold on to Grayson’s property to prevent

him from being deceived by some vixen in the future. Do you think I still love Grayson as I did in the

past? No. I’m just being more realistic.”

She went on, “As for lan, of course, I know he’s not a man that’s worth holding on to. I’m just thinking

that if you can get those two houses. the four years you spent with him wouldn’t be in vain. Erin, you’re

too naive. But I know your temperament, so I won’t force you anymore.”

After Cherry said that, she wiped away her tears, feeling heartbroken for both her daughter and herself.

Cherry’s words made Erin’s heart ache. She didn’t expect that her mother understood everything better

than she did. In a way, Erin was glad that her mother was being more practical.

“Mom, thank you.” Although she couldn’t meet her mother’s expectations, she still appreciated her

mother’s efforts in looking out for her.

Cherry patted Erin’s hand and said nothing more.

Early the next morning, Cherry insisted on being discharged from the hospital. Alter the doctor

confirmed that she was fine, she was allowed to leave. Erin and the others didn’t stop her as well.

After they returned home, Erin planned to go out and buy groceries and asked Cherry to continue

resting at home. Grayson was practically a male servant now, not allowing Cherry to lift a finger. Cherry

enjoyed it immensely. Thinking of how Grayson had cheated on her, she felt

justified in bossing him around.

Gavin was in his room doing his summer homework. When they picked up Cherry from the hospital in

the morning, lan was also there. Seeing Erin about to go out with her shopping bags, lan hurriedly

rushed downstairs and insisted on going grocery shopping with her.

Just as Erin walked out of the neighborhood gate, she turned around and said to lan, who was behind

her, “lan, my mom is fine now. So, you can go back. I won’t keep you for lunch.”

Even if he was asked to leave so bluntly, lan didn’t feel embarrassed at all. He smiled and said,

“There’s no need to chase me away so hastily. Let me stay and help you.”

“Mr. Sloan, you don’t need to go out of your way to please my mom,” Erin said with a hint of disdain in

her voice.

lan replied seriously, “I’m not trying to please your mom. I’m trying to please you.”

“lan, have you forgotten what I told you the last time?”
