Chapter 152


    Chapter 152 Settle Down Abroad


    The Rolls–Royce left the hotel. The driver in front couldn’t see what was happening in the backseat.


    At that moment, the temperature inside the backseat was rapidly rising. Erin was pinned down by all


    man, and the man’s icy lips. greedily ravaged the sweetness in her mouth. He ignored Erin’s fierce


    resistance. Before long, Erin’s lower lip was swollen and identally bitten so hard that it bled.


    Erin frowned hard as the taste of tangy, sweet blood filled both of their mouths.


    Even though the man she desired and longed for the most was right in front of her, she conjured all of


    her willpower to resist him.


    She fervently yearned to embrace him in her dreams every night. But when he appeared before her in


    person, tears flowed from her eyes uncontrobly. Her heart was in agony, and the diminishing oxygen


    in the car made her gradually feel suffocated. She was afraid of indulging in this feeling–afraid that she


    wouldn’t be able to withdraw herself in the future.


    She was so scared to the point that even though she could temporarily secure the warmth she so


    desired, she was too afraid to possess


    it.


    Seeing Erin’s tears, Chandler no longer forced her. He slowly got up from her and helped Erin sit up.


    His hands reached out to tidy up Erin’s cor, but she calmly said, “I’ll do it myself.”


    Chandler withdrew his hand with a darkened expression, his gaze turning cold as he looked ahead.


    With a casual and cool gesture, he adjusted his ck shirt.


    “It’s been so many days since we’ve seen each other. Yet, you start crying the moment you see me.”


    His deep voice made him sound like he was the king of the night, intimidating and carrying a deadly


    allure.


    Erin’s rationality burned fiercely within her as if a phoenix trapped in a cage was screeching to be set


    free in her heart.

    “Why are we even seeing each other? What’s there to see?” Her words were harsh and cold, but she


    didn’t intend to take them back. Although she missed him dearly and wanted to say “I miss you,” she


    couldn’t bring herself to say those words aloud.


    Chandler nced at her from the corner of his eye. His gaze was filled with suppressed anger that was


    chilling. “You’re truly heartless, Erin! If I didn’te to find you, were you nning on never seeing me


    again?”


    Erin’s tears flowed freely once again. “Why should I see you? Should I cry and beg you not to get


    married? You’ve already made it so difficult for me. You didn’t even have the courage to tell me to my


    face. How can you expect me to have any confidence toe and find you?”


    His deep, dark eyes stared at her delicate face. The intense longing in his heart was fulfilled the


    moment he saw her, but suddenly, everything copsed. Even though she was right in front of him and


    so close to him, it felt like they were still far apart from each other.


    Chandler couldn’t control himself and pulled her over, holding her in his arms as he ced her on his


    lap. The petite Erin was like his exclusive doll enchanting and delightful.


    His embrace was still as intoxicating as she remembered. His scent permeated every pore of her


    being, and Erin couldn’t help but abandon any resistance she’d put up in her heart. She quietly rested


    her face on his shoulder, and tears fell from her eyes like pearls slipping off a broken string,nding on


    him rhythmically.


    The warm tears quickly prated the skin on his neck, flowing into his bloodstream like a corrosive


    poison, spreading through his limbs. and body. He held her tightly, fearing that she would disappear.


    The two of them remained in each other’s arms for a long, long time without speaking. Time seemed to


    stand still as if the noise outside the car had nothing to do with them. Both were waiting for the other to


    speak first.


    Finally, Chandler spoke up. “Erin, why don’t I send you abroad to settle down? I’ll visit you often, and if


    you can’t bear to leave your mother and younger brother behind, I’ll arrange for them to go with you.”


    Erin slowly lifted her head to look at him. Chandler’s perfect jawline was within arm’s reach, and


    everything about him made her heart race. But why couldn’t they be together?


    “Settle down abroad?” Her voice carried an ethereal and elusive tone. She vaguely understood his


    intentions but couldn’t help asking.


    Chandler gently lifted her chin with his slender and attractive fingers, and he said earnestly. “After going


    abroad, you can work or continue your studies. I’ll support you in whatever you choose to do.”


    A faint smile appeared on her lips, but there was subtle mockery in her eyes. “As your mistress?”


    “Erin! Why do you insist on clinging to this? Isn’t my affection for you enough?” Chandler was helpless


    at her reaction.


    With a smile that made her look like she’d gone mad, Erin walled, “Yes, I’m too greedy! I’ve told you


    before, I won’t be your lover. No matter what you think, I won’t change-”


    Her determination ignited his anger. “You’re such a stubborn and foolish woman! You’ll have unlimited


    wealth when you’re with me. Besides you, I won’t have any other women. What more do you want? I’ll


    send you abroad to settle down, and I’ll take good care of your family. Why can’t you be content with


    this?”


    His questioning left her speechless. Chandler was the kind of man that many women could only dream


    of having. He chose to be with her, so she should be sensible and know when to stop. But why couldn’t


    she do it?


    Erin’s mockingly coldughter irritated him. He suddenly lost his patience in continuing their


    conversation. With his stormy temper, no


    other woman had ever gotten the type of treatment Erin was enjoying now.


    Since meeting Erin, he’d repeatedlypromised on his principles, to the point that when his


    grandfather woke up from aa and made a request, he genuinely felt troubled. If he hadn’t met Erin,


    he could easily agree to it. It was nothing more than marrying a woman approved by both his


    grandfather and father, and then having a child with her. That was nothing he couldn’t aplish.


    But the mere thought of Erin leaving him because of this made him hesitant to tell her about it directly.


    Despite the situation bing


    ever soplicated, he still longed for Erin to persistently pester him and waver his determination. He


    wanted her to ignite his crazy thoughts of wanting to disregard everything.


    But what was her reaction?


    She understood her ce too well, and she was too sensible. Her selfless withdrawal without any


    comints made him restless. Unable to bear it any longer, he took the initiative and went to


    Fleuverton to find her.


    “Chandler, if your grandfather is really that important to you, you shouldn’t let him leave with any


    regrets. It is God’s grace that you’re able to be family-


    Chandler roared, “Shut up! I don’t need your preaching! Who do you think you are, Erin? Am I so


    insignificant in your eyes? Why are you giving up so easily?”


    Hearing his angry outburst, Erin couldn’t utter those insincere words anymore. She looked at him with


    questioning eyes and asked, “Then tell me, what should I do? If I leave voluntarily and don’t interfere


    with your promise to your grandfather, am I in the wrong?”


    Chandler instantly grabbed her chin and said coldly. “The best arrangement I can make for you is to let


    you settle abroad. If you feel lonely. we can have a few children to keep youpany. That will put my


    mind at ease as well.”


    His words left Erin stunned. She stayed frozen for more than ten seconds, and only when she saw that


    he wasn’t joking at all did she finally understand that he was serious.


    She tremblingly put her hand on his and forcefully pried his fingers away from her chin. In disbelief, Erin


    said, “Chandler, have you gone mad?”


    It was already crazy enough for him to unterally suggest sending her abroad to settle down, but now


    he was saying that they should have a few children just to make her feel less lonely. She couldn’t help


    but think ofn back then.


    Why were men so unreasonable when it came to having children? Were children something that could


    be casually brought into this world?


    Upon hearing Erin say that he was crazy, Chandler’s gaze turned icy. The anxiety and fear he had


    suppressed for a long time erupted in an instant. He grabbed her waist tightly and pressed her onto the


    seat before she could resist, imprisoning her.


    His perfectly handsome face now resembled a demon from hell. Erin desperately struggled against


    him. “Let me go, Chandler! Don’t make me look down on you-”


    There was a speck of her blood on Chandler’s wicked lips, making him look like a cold and terrifying


    vampire. He smirked devilishly as he said, “Erin, I see it now. Being good to you will only make you


    take advantage of me! Whether you like it or not, I’ll definitely send you abroad! Do you really think I


    support you bing some kind of actress? Are you secretly looking forward to filming those intimate


    scenes with other male actors?”


    Erin looked at this face that seemed both enchanting and demonic at the same time with astonishment.


    His fierce eyes stared fixedly into her beautiful ones. “Ha! Let me make this clear. You won’t have any


    intimate scenes with anyone! Whoever dares to film with you will be cklisted by me. But all that


    doesn’t matter now. Once I send you abroad, you’ll obediently get. pregnant and have a child! I’ll


    definitely make sure you’ll bear my child!”
