Chapter 206 I Apologize to You
The next morning, Erin woke up with enthusiasm. She went to the kitchen downstairs to prepare
breakfast and nned to go to the supermarket to buy her mother’s favorite food.
Roman had already returned to the set to continue filming. He initially wanted to take more days off to
apany Erin to visit Cherry, but Erin politely declined, saying that she felt guilty about keeping him
away from his work.
Since she refused, Roman didn’t insist and went back to filming. However, Erin agreed to his request to
stay at his house. After all, it was close to Chandler’s vi, and it would be very convenient for her to go
over and teach Asa in the future. In the event something happened to Asa, she would be able to rush
over and help out.
Half an hourter, Erin set off for the supermarket. She drove Roman’s car, a white BMW 7 Series. It
had been seven years since she drove in the city and the many new roads were unfamiliar to her.
Although there was a navigation system installed in the car, the heavy traffic on a Friday morning was
quite daunting to experience.
What should have been a twenty–minute drive took a full forty minutes instead. Erin finally managed to
enter the underground parking lot
of a popr supermarket chain after braving the horrific Friday traffic.
Unexpectedly, there were many cars at the supermarket that day. Erin circled around the first level
several times but couldn’t find a parking
space, so she had to drive down to the next level.
When she got to the next level she saw a parking space not far ahead. However, a car behind suddenly
overtook her and squeezed her to
the side, skillfully upying the parking space she’d spotted first.
ording to normal social etiquette, the car behind should have given way and let Erin park first, and
they should have driven on and found themselves another spot to park. Clearly, the driver who took
Erin’s parking space had no manners or etiquette to speak of.
Erin was so mad that she wanted to get out of her car to confront that person. But upon thinking about
it for a second longer, she decided against it. The supermarket would open in five minutes. She’d better
save time instead of wasting it on a confrontation.
Just as Erin was about to reverse and leave, the driver who had taken her parking spot got out of his
car. She instinctively looked at the
uncivilized person and squinted her eyes. Lo and behold, the man driving the impressive ck SUV
was none other than Simon.
Erin’s expression stiffened. She had only been back for a few days, and such coincidental encounters
with people she knew made her feel
baffled. But she was going to Chandler’s vi to teach Asa how to drawter, so everything else paled
inparison. Encountering past
friends or acquaintances didn’t really excite her.
She snapped out of it. No longer looking at Simon, she focused on reversing. Luckily, she saw a car
about to leave not far ahead. Erin waited for a minute, and as soon as that car left, she sessfully
parked her car.
Next, she got out of the car with the Hermes bag that Paulo bought for her. Erin was wearing a casual
ck dress with a denim jacket on top. On her feet were a pair of ck ankle boots. She was dressed
that way because the weather had already turned cool as autumn
approached. She then used an stic band she’d been wearing on her wrist to casually tie her wavy
hair into a bun. Wearing sunsses.
she walked forward.
When Erin reached the closest elevator in that area, she saw Simon still standing in the same vicinity
while the elevator was going up. He
seemed to be waiting for someone. After giving him a nce, Erin ignored him and stood by the
elevator as if he didn’t exist.
Suddenly, Simon spoke to Erin, who was quietly standing next to him. “I’m sorry for taking your parking
space earlier. Here’s a hundred
dors aspensation for your time.”
Erin nced at him from the side and then looked at the dor bill in his hand. Calmly, she asked, “Are
you talking to me?”
A faint coldness appeared on Simon’s exquisitely handsome face as he retorted, “Besides you, is there
anyone else here?”
Erin turned her head and stopped looking at him. “Money can’t change my impression of you.”
Just then, the elevator arrived, and Erin stepped in first.
Simon no longer insisted and put the money back in his pocket. Under normal circumstances, any
ordinary person would let the matter go in exchange for money. Obviously, this woman was not an
ordinary person.
A slight smile curled up at the corners of his mouth. How could he forget that the woman had been
driving a BMW? Considering that, it

Erin was locked away in arge storage room, including everything from his past office.
His intense yearning and longing for the woman he loved the most would easily go out of control once it
was unleashed; it rushed forth like a wild beast released from its cage. The surge of feelings caused
Chandler to tightly close his eyes and clench his fists, desperately restraining his emotions.
His fists trembled slightly as he pressed them against the desk. Finally, his right hand angrily swung to
the side, causing a stack of

“Yes, Mrs. Frost.” Kyle gently closed the door and left.
na looked at the contracts on the floor. She was about to bend down to pick them up, but Chandler
frowned and said, “Don’t bother
picking them up. I’ll ask Kyle to clean them upter.”
She nodded and walked over to the sofa, taking a seat. na looked at Chandler and said, “I saw Miss
Eastwood just now. How did the
interview go?”
Chandler replied expressionlessly. “I’ve agreed to have here and teach Asa.”
“Well, I like her. I have a feeling that Asa will like her too.”
Her words plunged Chandler deep into his own thoughts. After a while, he asked, “Why have you
come? Your leg isn’t fully healed yet. You
should rest well in the vi.”
na chuckled. “I came to avoid my parents. When they heard about my pregnancy, they said they
wanted toe and see me. I don’t
want to be bombarded with questions by them.”
Chandler stood up and walked toward her. He sat beside her, took her delicate hand in his palm, and
said earnestly. “Didn’t I tell you? If your parents ask, just tell them what I told you.”
“Chandler, I still feel uneasy about this. You’re not the child’s father, but if I insist on saying that you are,
it’s unfair to you- na had a conflicted look in her eyes as she felt reluctant to do that.
Chandler sighed. “If it weren’t for your foresight and backup n with Saber back then, you wouldn’t
have been lucky enough to conceive his child. If your parents knew that the child you’re carrying is
Saber’s, they would definitely try to stop you from giving birth. Haven’t you. already made up your mind
to have Saber’s child?”
An expression of worry instantly shrouded na’s features. “That’s right. If my parents knew the truth,
I’m certain they would find a way to stop me. I’ve already lost Saber; I can’t lose his child as well! The
child in my womb is my only reason to keep going.”
“In that case, let’s stick to our original n. Until the child is born. I’ll be the father of the child.”
Chandler could only think of this way to
protect na. After all, they’d publicly announced their marriage. Even though they didn’t have a legal
marriage certificate, everyone had
already epted their union–especially na’s parents.
“Chandler, I can’t help but feel guilty toward you. What if Erines back and sees us like this? She
will definitely misunderstand.” This
was the biggest concern na had.
Chandler raised his gaze and looked out the windows. His eyes were calm like a stagnant pool of
water. He asked in a despaired and sorrowful tone, “na, do you think Erin is still alive? It has been
seven years. If it weren’t for Asa, I don’t even know how I would have survived these seven years.”

“Hey, are youing in or not? If you’re noting in. I’m going up.” Erin said to him.
Simon lowered his gaze and stepped into the elevator. Erin pressed the button for the third floor.
Seeing that she’d already pressed the number of the floor he was headed to, Simon didn’t make a
move. As fate would have it, they were heading to the same floor.
“Was that your car just now?”
Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
His question made Erin look at him again. She could have chosen not to answer, but she was curious
about what he had to say, so she replied. “It isn’t mine.”
Simon’s dark eyes flickered slightly, but he didn’t say anything.
This piqued Erin’s curiosity. “Why are you asking about this?”
Right then, Simon remembered where he’d seen that car before. Since she asked, he casually
inquired, “What’s your rtionship with
Roman?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, even he was a bit surprised. What was the rtionship between
this woman and Roman, and what
did it have to do with him?
Erin answered simply, “Does it concern you in any way?”
The coldness in her tone and the icy gaze beneath her sunsses made Simon vaguely feel that this
woman was being hostile to him.
He smiled politely and said, “Are you still holding a grudge against me for taking your parking space
earlier?”
Erin sneered. “As if! Someone like you isn’t worth so much effort.”
Before she finished speaking, the elevator doors opened, and she immediately walked out. Watching
her walk away arrogantly, Simon felt a sh of anger being pent up in his heart. In the next second, he
walked out of the elevator too. He trailed after Erin, and both of them.
entered the supermarket.
Erin got herself a shopping cart and headed straight for the seafood section, while Simon casually
picked up a shopping basket and
continued to follow her.
Her dislike for Simon primarily stemmed from the incident involving Holly. Her best friend had been
yed by this heartless and indifferent. bastard. This caused Erin to despise Simon from the bottom of
her heart. If he didn’t love Holly, he should have said so earlier. But then he dragged it out until they
were about to get married! Wasn’t he toying with her feelings by doing that?
Even if Holly was the one who had pursued Simon at the beginning, Erin still couldn’t tolerate men like
him. Although he wasn’t exactly irresponsible and they hadn’t had any physical intimacy, what about
the emotional connection?
Holly had invested genuine emotions into their rtionship. Just like Erin’s marriage ton back then,
even if they hadn’t consummated their rtionship, the emotions they shared when they were together
were real.
Simon followed Erin for a full five minutes. Erin, unable to bear it any longer, suddenly turned around,
took off her sunsses, and questioned. “Are you sick in your head? For how long do you n to keep
following me around?”
With her sunsses off, Simon finally had a clear view of her face, which was so beautiful that it took
his breath away. However, he maintained an indifferent expression despite his heart throbbing
energetically.
He looked puzzled upon seeing her eyes. “Miss, has anyone ever told you that your eyes-”
Before Simon could finish, Erin rudely cut him off in a fit of anger, “Yes! I have eyes that look like Erin
Lane’s, don’t I? Why don’t you say I
look like Yvette Lane too? Erin was just a mere fourth female lead in that one movie. Why do you all
keep obsessing over her?”
She didn’t even realize that at this moment, she was actually feeling jealous. In a peculiar turn of
events, she’d somehow be a substitute for herself. It was pitiful in a way.
Erin’s furious outburst demeaning her former self earned her a severe scolding from Simon. He angrily
retorted, “Damn it! Saying that you have eyes that resemble Erin’s is an insult to her. You two are
nothing alike! Even if Erin has only acted in one movie, she won Best Supporting Actress at the Golden
Flower Awards! She wille back one day. Yvette, who took advantage of her hard work, will
eventually be cklisted!”
After that passionate speech, Simon angrily picked up the shopping basket and turned to leave. At that
moment, his figure suddenly
Erin felt deeply touched in her heart that Simon believed that she woulde back one day. He even
believed that everything Yvette, her younger sister, had obtained was simply done by taking advantage
of her. Although Erin didn’t me Yvette for it, there was a genuine sense of disappointment for her
twin. Now, hearing Simon express frustration on her behall, a slight smile involuntarily graced her lips.
“It’s been seven years, I hope you’re doing well, Simon,” Erin expressed inwardly.
Less than half a minuteter, the man who had just left in forceful strides returned. Simon felt a bit
embarrassed seeing Erin still standing
in the same spot.
With a frown, he asked, “Why are you still standing here?”
Erin smiled in return and responded with another question, “Why did youe back?”
“I came back to apologize.” Simon said with a huff.
She continued to ask, “Apologize to whom?”
He raised his eyes and stared into hers while saying. “To you! Are you satisfied now?”
“Why do you need to apologize to me?” Erin was a bit puzzled by this.
Simon sighed heavily in response to her question. “I don’t know why either, but I’ll apologize to you
anyway. First, I shouldn’t have taken your parking space, and secondly, your eyes really do resemble
Erin’s.”
He had left in anger earlier, but he caught a glimpse of her reddened eyes. That casual nce she
gave him lingered in his mind. After spitting a few swear words, he turned back as if drawn in by some
mysterious force.
On any other day, he would have thought he was being possessed or something had gotten into him.
But today, he had witnessed a woman whose eyes were even more simr to Erin’s than Yvette’s. He
couldn’t suppress the emotional fluctuations inside him.
“I ept your apology.”
The smile on Erin’s face made Simon momentarily forget where he was. It was as if everything around
him had faded away.
“How does this woman, who lookspletely different from Erin, smile in such a way that reminds me
of her?” Simon wondered, lost in
thought.
