    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 forgiven, 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, “Himing 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 vis to yours. Erin,


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


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


    security that came with owning


    property. Even if she were to repeat the same mistakes in the future. she would bepensated 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.n 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,n had already


    assured me that he has cut things off


    Erin had reached her limit listening to her mother’s ridiculous advice. Her anger red 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,n 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 forn, 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 d 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 nned 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,n was also there. Seeing Erin about to go out with her shopping bags,n 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 ton, who was behind


    her, n, 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,n 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.


    n, have you forgotten what I told you thest time?”


    He frowned and smirked. “Yeah, I remember, alright. You don’t want to be friends with me anymore, but


    I can’t do it! We were together for a whole four years! How can we just break up like that? It’s not like


    we’re sworn enemies now. Is it really necessary for you to treat me like


    this?”


    Erin froze briefly, but she remained calm and said. “Don’t bring up the past anymore. Everything in the


    past bears no meaning to me now.”


    She didn’t look at him and continued walking forward. Rooted to where he was standing,n had a


    gloomy expression. He took a few

    steps forward and grabbed Erin’s arm. “I don’t believe that the past means nothing to you!”


    Erin forcefully shook off his hand. n, whether you believe it or not is irrelevant to me. We’re all adults,


    and I’ve already made myself very


    clear. If you continue to pester me. I’ll only dislike you even more!”


    Her eyes were so cold and indifferent thatn’s hand recoiled as if he was stung. The deep


    helplessness in his eyes made his voice sound


    pained. “Erin, I beg you, please don’t treat me like this. I’m begging you-”


    A hint of surprise shed across Erin’s eyes. She’d never seenn so submissive before since the day


    she knew him. It didn’t sit right with her. How could the man she once loved change so much?


    But whose fault was it all?


    At this point, she’d already let go of the traumatizing painn’s betrayal dealt her. She didn’t want to


    suffer anymore and didn’t want to torment herself. She’dpletely let go of this matter.


    From the beginning to the time when their rtionship ended, Erin knew clearly what kind of person


    she was. She was someone who couldn’t allow any form of disloyalty when it came to love. Whether


    lan had cheated on her emotionally or physically, it made no difference to Erin because the moment he


    did that, their love had died.


    They could never go back to the past.


    Erin looked at the man she had once walked down the aisle with. The dreamlike wedding scene


    reyed in her mind like she was


    watching a movie.


    “Erin, I can’t live without you-”n took the opportunity to approach her, gazing at her with deep


    affection, but he didn’t dare to touch her.


    Seeing and hearing his deep affection, Erin suddenly gave a quiet and calm smile. A beautiful glow


    passed through her eyes. From the


    depths of her soul, Erin felt that the love between her andn had trulye to an end at that moment.


    n, your current persistence will eventually change with time. Those four years are now in the past. I


    have moved on, and I hope you can do the same. I won’t forget the little things we had together; they


    will remain in a corner of my heart. But you won’t and can’t be part of my


    future.”


    Erin’s expression was one of unprecedented ease and relief, but the sight of this became a deep scar


    embedded inn’s heart. The pain made his eyes redden, and a tear ran down his cheek, sliding into


    the corner of his mouth.


    Erin responded with a warm smile. “I won’t regret it, and you shouldn’t either. Sooner orter, you’ll


    understand that life goes on even when someone leaves. Thank you for the kindness you once showed


    me, and thank you for the hurt you once caused me. From now on. I’ll live better and cherish what life


    offers me. Ian, I wish you happiness.”


    woman who once loved him deeply like he was the center of her universe had truly departed.


    There was not a trace of nostalgia left for him.


    Their love had died and decayed in a time they could never return to.
