Love’s New Bloom By Simone Hastings
Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Deliberate Harassment 

Erin noticed Sean with a husky on a leash 30 feet away from her. She continued walking ahead, pretending she didn’t see him. 

When she was close to him. Sean suddenly blocked her way. Even the husky joined in. 

“Move!” At that moment, Erin was like a provoked panther on edge. Her eyes were filled with rage. 

Sean, who was in a casual outfit, said condescendingly, “From what I can see, the coat on you definitely isn’t Chandler’s. So, whose is it?” 

Erin huffed. “Why should I tell you?” 

Sean raised his eyebrow and snickered, saying. “Of course, you’re obliged to tell me. As Chandler’s best friend, if his woman is having an affair behind his back, I’ll have to let him know about it.” 

At the thought of Chandler’s devilishly handsome face, Erin was a little afraid. She was worried that Sean would twist the facts, so she explained grimly, “It’s not what you think. I didn’t betray him.” 

“I can’t accept such a sketchy explanation. You still haven’t told me the real reason.” Sean’s eyes gleamed with interest, not intending to let her go that easily. 

Erin was so furious she shut her eyes. She tried hard to collect her emotions before opening them. She took two steps forward and was about to walk past Sean when his dog barked at her fiercely. She was so frightened she hugged her arms and stood there tensely. 

Sean smiled smugly and teased, “See, even my dog doesn’t agree with your excuse. He has quite a temper. If you infuriate him, he might bite, then you’ll have to head to the hospital to get your shots! After all, the medical fee won’t be too expensive. I won’t mind paying for it a couple of times.” 

Erin glared at him resentfully. “What else do you want me to say? I’ve already said it’s not what you think it is!” 

Sean said seriously, “Why don’t you follow me home? You look too much of a mess to hail a cab this way. I have some ladies‘ clothes I can let you wear. You think about how you want to explain this whole thing to me right now. If you explain it well, I won’t tell Chandler about what I saw tonight. If you give me a terrible explanation, you can wait for him to come after you. If you want to leave now, it’s fine 

too, but don’t blame me for telling him what I saw-” 

“You!” Erin was infuriated. Everyone was trying to blackmail her! She wanted to kill those three men terribly! 

At the thought of Chandler’s murderous gaze, she followed Sean cowardly. They walked for close to 15 minutes before reaching Sean’s 

mansion. 

Erin was surprised at the place he was staying. She could not believe that he was really staying around in the neighborhood. 

“I have never seen you around here before.” Erin could not help but say. 

Sean was opening the door with his keys. He turned around and looked at her. “So, you do live around here too.” 

When they entered, he led her to the kitchen and poured her a glass of juice. “I’m sorry, I just moved in yesterday. There isn’t much to drink 

except juice.” 

“It’s fine. I don’t want to drink it.” 

Erin’s aloof rejection made him chuckle. “Look at how defensive you are. Don’t tell me you think I roofied your drink. You’re reading too 

much into this.” 

Erin swept him a cold glance. “I just said I don’t want to drink them! You’re the one reading too much into it!” 

“Okay, fine! I’m not here to argue with you. Tell me, why are you wearing a man’s coat?” Sean interrogated her with a stern face while 

sitting on the barstool. 

Erin chuckled darkly. “I really can’t believe that I’m being blackmailed by you! You’re neither my boyfriend nor my husband! You’re not even my friend! What right do you have to question me?” 

Sean placed his hands on the bar counter and laughed, saying. “Because I’m Chandler’s best friend! I know his temper. If he ever finds out. his women have cheated on him, unless he has already dumped them, they’ll die a miserable death!” 

His eyes glistened with glee at her imminent misfortune, which made Erin secretly swear and wish she could beat him up! 

1/2 

Sure enough, birds of a feather flock together. The devil’s friend is also a devil. 

Erin’s mind uncontrollably wandered to when Chandler was choking her. After all, the incident had happened before. 

To prevent endless interrogation in the future. Erin sighed and came clean. “I returned home to talk to my husband about the divorce, but it ended badly. That’s all.” 

Sean didn’t expect that answer. From the start, he believed Erin had another man other than Chandler. Never would he think that the man he was thinking of was actually her husband! 

“You’re married?” Sean said in disbelief since Erin looked only about twenty years old or so. 

Erin scoffed. “Is it that strange that I’m married?” 

“You’re married, yet you still seduced Chandler. You sure are slutty.” Sean said without any pity and a hint of condescension in his eyes. 

“Don’t you dare judge me so casually when you know nothing about the situation! My husband was the one who cheated on me, which was why I wanted a divorce! As for Chandler, meeting him was just bad luck! It was an accident!” Erin rolled her eyes at Sean. 

Her explanation delighted Sean. Hearing her describe Chandler in such a way, he was inexplicably a little happy about it. He suppressed his smile and pretended to be serious, saying. “Then, I’m sorry. It looks like I have misunderstood you.” 

“That’s right! It’s a misunderstanding! I’ve already explained myself! I’m leaving!” Erin got up. 

“Hold on!” 

She turned around and glared at Sean. “Are you done yet!” 

Sean got up and walked over to her. He chuckled and said, “Don’t give me that murderous glare. I didn’t offend you! Besides, when you sprayed those things into my eyes, I had to wash them for an hour. The bruises on my knees are still there, but I’m willing to look past that. Don’t tell me you’re still holding a grudge? I was wrong back then. Can we call it even?” 

Erin said nothing when she heard him bring up the past incident. At the thought of it, truth be told, she felt a little sheepish, so she softened her tone. “Is there anything else?” 

Sean walked past her and headed upstairs. He said casually, “Come with me. I have some new ladies‘ clothes. You can pick one to wear.. You can’t just head back looking like that, right?” 

Erin was a little stunned. She looked at the wretched mess she was in. Ever since she ran away from the mansion, she had been clutching the coat collar with one hand–to the point where her hand was cramping up–so she would not be exposed. 

“Oh. Thank you.” 

Sean waved and said nonchalantly, “It’s fine. Come up.” 

Erin followed him upstairs to a huge walk–in closet. It was filled with clothes with their tags still on. They were all luxury brands. Any piece there would cost more than 10 thousand dollars. 

She picked up the cheapest summer blouse she could find and headed to the bathroom to get changed. 

When she came out, Sean was leaning against the corridor railings looking at her. He looked amazed and said, “You look good in anything! Even if you’ve picked the most modest–looking thing, you still look-” 

Erin scowled and said, “Stop with your filthy thoughts! Your entire closet here is just to reward the ladies who stay the night with you. right?” 

At the thought of how Sean tried to buy her previously, Erin was sure that he was a playboy. Not only that, but Chandler had also said so. 

Sean ogled her and smiled flirtatiously, saying. “You’re smart, but you’re only half right. These clothes are not only my gift to them but also because sometimes I tear their clothes off—” 

Erin was caught speechless.
