Erin’s question maden smile coldly. “Don’t worry, I won’t let these people off the hook. I’ll report them
to the police and get them all
arrested.”
With just two simple sentences, he made his intentions clear, and only then did Erin breathe a sigh of
relief. “I almost thought you didn’t
catch on-”
“I can only me it on your superior acting skills. I really thought you were one of those clueless rich
guys.”
He snorted unamusedly and exined. “These people are driven by money. I gave them some money
to appeal to them first, making them believe that they can make a good profit from the repair costter.
This way, they won’t have any ill intentions toward your BMW. Not everyone will choose tomit
crimes when they can easily earn money through deception and avoid unnecessary trouble.”
Erin had to hand it to him. “That was handled well, Mr. Sloan. I was quite confused earlier.”
The suggestive nce he cast her way instantly dispelled the slightly favorable impression he’d just
managed to salvage in Erin’s eyes. He was clearly trying to seduce her with the way he looked at her.
Erin’s tone becameced with suspicion as she inquired, “Why did you stop by earlier? Were you also
involved with their scheme with the
nails?”
She let her imagination run wild, suspecting thatn had staged the whole act to make himself look like
the hero who saved the damsel in
distress.
Her remark causedn to pull a long face, and he sounded very irritated as he retorted, “What do you
mean by that? Are you doubting my motives for helping you? Miss Eastwood, I admit that you’re indeed
beautiful and the type of woman that men would fall for at first sight.
But let me tell you, I don’t need to go to such lengths to please you.”
He then added, “Besides, the reason I stopped by the roadside earlier was that I was on a phone call.
My wife, Yvette, called me to discuss
our divorce.”
Erin gave him a quizzical look. Just telling her that he was on a phone call was more than sufficient.
Did he really need to disclose the
contents of his personal call to a stranger?
After waiting for a while and not getting any response from Erin,n grew curious. “Don’t you want to
know why Yvette and I are getting
divorced?”
Erin had known all along, so she didn’t need to ask.
She casually replied. “That’s none of my concern. It’s your private matter.”
However, Erin’s indifference didn’t stopn from expanding on the topic. He said, “Since we still have to
stay in the car for a while, why don’t I tell you the story between Yvette and me-”
“Mr. Sloan, you really don’t need to tell me these things. I’m not interested.” Erin refused outright.
Her words maden burst intoughter. Erin frowned slightly and rolled her eyes at him, ultimately
choosing to ignore him.
Erin found this side ofn somewhat unfamiliar. His face showed a gentlemanly and open expression,
yet it was merely a hypocritical facade hiding the true nature of a beast.
A yful gleam shed in Erin’s eyes, and she suddenly asked, “Mr. Sloan, have you fallen for me at
first sight?”
To fall for someone at first sight meant to be attracted solely by appearance.
She didn’t get an immediate answer fromn. He smirked, pondered for a moment, and replied, “I can’t
say it’s infatuation at first sight, but
Erin’s heartbeat elerated by a fraction. From the momentnid eyes on her, she deliberately
changed her tone and demeanor so as not to resemble her past self. However, she didn’t expectn to
still recognize her. But it wasn’t surprising either since she andn had been together for four years,
which wasn’t a short time by any means.
“Mr. Sloan, just be honest. What kind of thoughts do you have toward me?” Erin smilednguidly.
“To be honest, I’m not interested in pursuing a romantic rtionship with you, but I’m very interested in
spending a night with you.”
Erin couldn’t help butugh softly. “When Erin chose to divorce you back then, I thought it was the best
decision she’d made in her life. Mr. Sloan, someone like you is not suited for marriage and love. You
should just stick constantly changing women and enjoying the high life.”
Her words carried no hint of sarcasm. After seeing throughn’s true character long ago, facing this
completely uninhibited version of him now, she genuinely felt that such a man was indeed suited to live
freely and unrestrainedly. In short, he was incapable of making any
promises to any woman.
Her evaluation leftn at a loss for words for a while.
Just when Erin thought he wouldn’t say anything else,n said impassively. “Perhaps you’re right.
Someone like me indeed doesn’t
deserve love. The only woman I have ever let down in my life is Erin.”
“What about Yvette then? Haven’t you let her down?” Erin became curious now as to whyn only
mentioned her.
His tone was very casual as if he were talking about an ordinary matter as he answered, “I married
Yvette because I couldn’t get what I wanted from Erin back then. Yvette is Erin’s twin sister, and I
thought marrying a woman who looked the same could fill the void in my heart. But I discovered just
two months into our marriage that she was nothing more than a substitute for Erin. If our son were still
alive. maybe our marriage wouldn’t have reached its end. Back when our son died. I was finally able to
see everything clearly.”
Suddenly,n nced at Erin and said in a mocking tone, “I always thought I loved Yvette… It turns out
I never did.”
Surprised by his revtion, Erin asked. “Why are you telling all these things to a stranger like me?”
looking at her, he casually asked. “Do you mind if I smoke?”
Erin paused for two seconds and said, “Go ahead, but please open the car window.”
“Since you were a close friend of Erin, you’re not aplete stranger. Maybe it’s because of your eyes
and your voice that I let my guard down and say whatever that came to my mind.”
He smiled warmly. “To be honest, I’ve never encountered a girl like you before, someone who can let
me be myself freely. It feels so refreshing. You really should think about what I suggested earlier,
Pam. I have plenty of money to make you famous. Of course, I’m also quite interested in you.
Talking to you feelsfortable. How about it? Will you let me be your man?”
Her rejection maden chuckle. “It’s truly saddening that you rejected me so quickly. You could have
pretended to y along with me for a while, at least to show gratitude for my help today.”
Shaking her head, Erin remained silent. In the seven years they hadn’t seen each other,n had
be aplete stranger to her. She still held on to the memories from their university days, back
whenn was still a simple and sincere undergraduate student. It all turned into nothingness, buried
along with the passing of time.
Erin even suspected that the young man she’d loved during their university days had never truly
existed. It seemed time would eventually change anyone and everyone.
Erin couldn’t help but sigh. At least she hadn’t be the kind of person she used to dislike, but she
couldn’t say the same forn. He’dpletely be the kind of person he used to despise and look
down upon; he’d also be the kind of person that Erin disliked.
Perhaps she should adapt to this change whether she liked it or not.
On the way back,n and Erin didn’t speak a word.
Whenn drove into the city center, Erin asked him to drop her off at an intersection. He didn’t leave his
contact information, nor did he ask
for Erin’s phone number either.
Just before Erin got off the car,n told her that he would report the incident regarding the BMW to the
police and asked her to wait for instructions on how to retrieve the car.
Erin calmly got off the car as ifn was nothing but her Uber driver. The two went their separate ways in
opposite directions.
At 7 pm, Erin arrived at Chandler’s vi on time, carrying her art teaching tools.
She was led into the living room by the butler, and as soon as she entered, she saw a handsome man
sitting on the sofa not far away.
Chandler was dressed in fashionable andfortable home attire, holding a newspaper in his hand.
The moment he looked up, he
happened to catch Erin looking at him.
He quickly averted his gaze and casually said, “Miss Eastwood, please wait in the living room for a
moment. Asa’s aunt is in his room.”
Erin was about to respond when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps pattering across the
corridor on the second floor. She looked
up at the source of the sound and soon saw a small figure appearing at the stairs.
Asa was wearing a handsome children’s outfit, and with a childish voice, he eximed. “Daddy, Aunt
Yvette says you’re so handsome your
face would glow!”
