Chandler's words seemed to have an impact on Kyle. It made Kyle more determined."Mr. Frost, it's not about fear. I just don't want to complicate things for Miss Green," Kyle explained."You seem to have quite a few reservations. Perhaps your feelings for Holly might not be all that strong. If it's not that important, then just let it go," Chandler suggested.Kyle got a bit worked up. "She's not something I can just let go of!""Oh?""Mr. Frost, it's just us here. I can honestly say that I don't think I'm good enough for Miss Green ..."Chandler felt somewhat displeased as he heard Kyle express such feelings for the first time."Why do you think you're not good enough for her?" Chandler asked."Whether it's appearance or family background, I feel like I don't measure up to Miss Green ..."Chandler chuckled at his words. "So, who do you think measures up to Holly?"Kyle hesitated and was reluctant to answer."It seems like the person might be yourself, Kyle, but societal expe
Having wrapped up the call with Alan, Chandler didn't bother stepping out of the car. Instead, he directed Kyle to head straight to the hospital.Erin was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. Five minutes later, she found out from Trent that Chandler's car had taken off once again. She was baffled and wondered why he hadn't even stepped inside the house before leaving. Erin reached for her phone and was about to call him to ask about the situation. Right then, an unfamiliar number popped up on the screen.She thought it might be a call from some insurance agent. To her surprise, it was Hans's sister, Hannah, on the other end."Mrs. Frost, I hope it's not too abrupt to reach out like this … but I have something urgent!" Hannah burst out."No worries, go ahead. What can I do for you?" Erin asked."I was wondering if you could speak to Mr. Dunn and convince him not to keep working on set while he's not well!""Sean's working while he's sick?""Yes, Mrs. Frost. Mr. Dunn is curr
Erin waited outside the ward for a full hour. She had no clue about their conversation inside.When Chandler finally came out, she immediately noticed the redness in his eyes."Hubby ..." Erin whispered.Chandler dropped his gaze and murmured, "I need to step downstairs for a smoke. You can go in now, but Sean's a bit drained. Keep the talk light, okay? I've said what needed to be said. Just chat with him about anything else."It was the first time Erin had seen him so disheartened."Alright, Hubby, go ahead. But remember, don't overdo it. It's not doing any favors for your health," she reminded him once more. She had talked to him about quitting smoking endlessly. As time went on, Erin found herself growing weary of saying the same things over and over.Everyone understood that smoking wasn't good for health.Despite the care and concern of others, those who were determined to smoke found it hard to quit. Each person was responsible for their own health, and Erin knew tha
In a calm tone, Sean said, "Who knows, perhaps it's an actor I once scolded, or maybe a director whose trophy I took. It's even more likely to be an enthusiastic fan who admires me … Or perhaps it's my ex-wife and those women who once liked me but were abandoned by me.""They probably all wish for my early death … This world is crazy, and behind this madness are all these crazy people. I just want to attend my funeral in advance. If I die now, I won't be able to see all this. And after this, I can peacefully retire to a temple. In case you one day learn about my death, don't be surprised. Anyway, you've all already attended my funeral, so just continue with your lives," he added before throwing the stalk of white rose in his hand onto the coffin. Sean looked up and said to the person sealing the coffin, "You can seal it now."Erin and the others all threw their white roses onto the coffin. Then, the cemetery staff, who were wearing white gloves, began to fill the soil …After a wh
Trent laughed and said, "Mr. Frost Junior, your friend is indeed hungry. Hurry and invite him in. I'll go get some food for you. Your Daddy and Mommy should be on their way back."Upon hearing that his parents were coming back, Liam said, "Alright, Mr. Charleston. Thank you."After leading Skylar into the room, Liam closed the door."Sit anywhere you want, but not the bed. Your clothes are too dirty," instructed Liam as he walked toward the sofa.Skylar glanced around the spacious bedroom and exclaimed, "You have a cozy home. It's more homey than mine …""What's your home like?" Liam asked casually."Would you like to see it?" "Do you have photos on your phone?"Skylar smiled at Liam, saying, "Yes, I'll show you right now!""Oh, by the way, this Doppie doll is a cushion for you! If you find it annoying, just sit on it with all your might. Even if you fart—"Liam expressed disgust."That's so disgusting! It must have been used before, and maybe even farted on. I want you to
The next day at 10:00 a.m., Chandler set up a meeting with Bruno in the office. Bruno was surprised by the topic Chandler wanted to bring up."Mr. Frost, do you believe in my little inventions?" Bruno asked."Mr. Quill, you're too modest. I've heard about the medical awards you've won internationally—very impressive."A slight smile appeared on Bruno's face. "Looks like you've done some research on me, Mr. Frost.""Just trying to get to know the man behind the inventions," Chandler remarked casually, his expression revealing nothing.Although it might have seemed like a typical conversation, it pleased Bruno. Back then, Bruno was surprised when Kyle called him.Initially, he had considered approaching Erin to gather information about Chandler. But unexpectedly, Chandler sent someone directly to contact him.Upon discovering Alan's battle with pancreatic cancer, Bruno surprisingly found a somewhat romantic angle to the situation.He was profoundly moved, not just by the enduri
While Bruno elaborated on the tales of the Vestment Order and the Isle of Seashells to Chandler, Erin happened to be on the street. She was delving into the affairs of others alongside Tina and Jill.Merely an hour had passed since their return from Paulo's villa. Paulo had already been discharged and was resting at home.Opting for a hassle-free evening of lamb kebabs later on, they deliberately left their bodyguards behind. The trio were well aware that disclosing their true identities would inevitably draw attention from eager single men. To avoid any trouble, they wore realistic masks and dressed discreetly for their outing. All they wanted was to enjoy their meal and engage in some pleasant conversation without causing unnecessary trouble. As Erin drove past a recently opened cake shop, Jill suggested indulging in some cakes. Unfortunately, the parking spots right in front of the shop were all taken. Left with no alternative, they parked across the street and strolled ac
"Look, you need to get to the heart of the matter. Why are you pushing your daughter into a marriage with that arranged date? And there's no guarantee the guy is even up for it! I believe both of you are not after the wedding gifts. You're both concerned Bowen might not be genuinely in love with your daughter, right? Why not give it some time to see if Bowen's love is real? You wouldn't go to the extreme of locking your daughter away from Bowen, would you? It's against the law! And think about it—if she wanted to sneak off and marry Bowen, you wouldn't have a clue! What if your instincts are right, and she ends up unhappy after getting married? That wouldn't sit well with you either, would it?"Erin's words resonated with the parents. The mother enthusiastically nodded. "You get us, young lady! We're both retired, living off our pensions. We don't need those wedding gifts. Those gifts are just a way to test the groom's sincerity. In the end, all those presents are meant for our daug
Erin chuckled lightly as she said, "Enny would have married and fallen in love with another man sooner or later. "If that man is Paulo, I would be more than willing. Enny will be very happy in her life, and I'm at ease entrusting her to Paulo. And with Paulo being so wealthy, I don't have to worry about anyone coveting Enny's status or her family's power.""You make a good point!" Jill agreed."Jill, if your wedding with Ryder happens around the same time as Enny's, I'm afraid I won't have the energy to help you," Erin said worriedly."No worries, I don't want a wedding ceremony. Ryder and I just need to register our marriage. We've been living together for ten years anyway," Jill said.Erin nodded. "Yeah, that's fine. Weddings are quite tiring anyway, whether you have one or not."After chatting for a while, Jill heard Ryder's footsteps and said quickly, "Let's talk next time. He's coming in." …At 10:00 pm that day, Erin visited Chandler's office at his company.However, h
Ryder turned around with skepticism etched across his face. "What could possibly be wrong? Look at how anxious you are."As she leaned against the doorway, Jill held her phone aloft. There was a challenging glint in her eyes. "If you can remain that calm after hearing this news, I'll play your game with you later.""Really?" Ryder raised an eyebrow, his tone filled with."Forget it if you don't trust me." She pretended to turn away.In a swift motion, Ryder closed the distance between them."I believe you. Now, tell me," Ryder said."Enny and Paulo have settled things," Jill announced with a smirk playing on her lips."Damn! Who told you?" Ryder's curiosity peaked.Jill waved her phone triumphantly. "This is exclusive insider information! Erin personally sent a WhatsApp message, see for yourself!"Ryder snatched the phone, his eyes scanning the message rapidly.The message read, "Enny was two months pregnant with Paulo's child, and the couple had visited Paulo's parents. Whil
Cyril looked at Paulo's departing figure and sighed. "Master is so good-looking. That's why Ms. Frost has been chasing him for so many years… Actually, Master and Ms. Frost really are a perfect match!"Only after Paulo's figure disappeared into the forest did Cyril turn around silently.He was suddenly startled. "Ms. Frost…""Why so guilty? I'm not some demoness who preys on monks!" Enny exclaimed.Cyril laughed. "Ms. Frost, you're really humorous…""I'm asking you, where is your master?" Enny demanded.Cyril hesitated and said, "I don't know where Master is."Enny called his bluff. "Liar!""I really don't know," insisted Cyril."Cyril, your master is going through the most difficult time of his life. As his capable assistant and disciple, you must help him!" insisted Enny.Enny's serious expression made Cyril ask curiously, "What trouble has Master encountered?""Well, he wants to be with me, but he's too embarrassed to ask. What should I do?" she asked."Does Master reall
Many years later, on the day Enny got her ID card, she drove to Skycloud Mountain overnight.There was a temple on the top of Skycloud Mountain, and she was going to see someone there.By the time she struggled to the mountaintop, it was already 6:00 am the next day.Enny was dressed in black. She wore white hiking shoes with a duck tongue hat and her hair casually tied in a ponytail.Her beautiful, bare face had been a stumbling block on her path to growth.Every year, the number of men she rejected could fill several trucks.That was just among those who had the chance to approach her, while those who didn't could only watch from afar.Enny looked straight ahead, wiping the sweat that had trickled down her cheek.She took a deep breath and walked into the small, secluded temple that was cut off from the world.She finally arrived just in time on the day the new chief abbot took office. In fact, she was there to prevent the new abbot from entering the monastic life!Driven b
Erin had planned to visit Matthew's "Thinkerin City" to buy a violin and visit him.But Matthew's shop was closed, so after waiting for half an hour with Enny, she went to another store to buy one.However, she happened to meet him on the street now.Matthew slowly pushed the wheelchair toward her.He was dressed very casually. He wore a plaid shirt with short sleeves, jeans, and branded sneakers.His simple style was a far cry from his rock star days.He looked somewhat thinner, his smile faint. "Erin, did you and Enny come to buy an instrument?""Yes, we bought Enny a violin. We actually wanted to visit your store." Erin's gaze drifted to Claire, who sat in the wheelchair.Matthew responded, "Sorry, I had to take Claire to get some medicine."Although Claire had been tragically affected by Matthew's obsessive fans years ago, she survived. However, she was left mentally incapacitated and was sometimes lucid for only a few hours.Matthew was loyal, taking it upon himself to c
Chandler's appearance wasn't anything mysterious or an extraordinary entrance.It was filled with the usual beauty and romance of a typical wedding.After reaching Erin, he knelt on one knee with a face full of happiness, opened the ring box with both hands and looked up at her.He asked, "Erin, will you marry me again?"Erin's heart was filled with joy as she asked jokingly, "If I refuse, will you force me into a wedding dress and marry you?"He replied firmly, "Yes!""Since I have no choice, I suppose I must agree," she said with a smile. Erin extended her hand for Chandler to slide the engagement ring onto her finger."You will be Mrs. Frost for the rest of your life! Don't even think about escaping!" Chandler exclaimed."Ah, I won't run. I am willing to be a happy prisoner," Erin said self-deprecatingly.Ryder rolled his eyes, his expression full of sourness.Kylan caught his expression and patted his shoulder without saying a word.As Erin put on the ring, everyone pres
Five minutes later, the doorbell rang again as Enny started doing Erin's makeup."I'll get it, Mom. You stay seated, okay?" Enny said."Fine, Mommy won't move." Erin winked at her. Seconds later, Enny shouted, "Godfather!""Enny! You look so beautiful!" The joy in the man's voice was palpable.Erin stood up and walked to the living room, knowing Sean had arrived.By then, Sean and another man had already entered.They closed the door behind them."Erin, I've brought a makeup artist for you," Sean said with a slight smile.The man beside him bowed politely to her. "Hello, Ms. Lane!""Maya, your male disguise is a total failure. You just slapped on some rough makeup without even wearing a realistic mask. You don't look like a man at all," Erin teased with a laugh.Maya couldn't help but laugh. "Mr. Frost's security measures are too strict. If I had worn a stranger's male mask, I wouldn't have been allowed in, and I would have been detained.""Why go through all the trouble o
Meanwhile, Erin had just gone to open the door of her hotel room.To her surprise, the person at the door was Roman."Rom! It's really you!" Erin exclaimed with joy. Dressed in a tailored white suit, Roman held a bouquet and joked, "Do you need to check my face to make sure I'm not wearing a mask?""Haha! I know it's you! Come in and let's talk. Thank you for the flowers!" Erin took the bouquet he offered and invited him inside.A minute later, Roman was sitting on the couch.He looked out to the underwater world from the floor-to-ceiling windows and remarked, "Enny and Eddie must really love this room.""Yes, the kids could watch it all night. Chandler specifically chose this type of room for the children," Erin explained.As Erin placed the fresh flowers in a vase, Roman inquired, "Where's Chandler?"Erin replied, "You should know what he's busy with, right?"Roman's gaze turned indecipherable, his tone probing as he asked, "You already know?"Erin laughed. "Yes. Did it d
Jill naturally denied it when she heard the question. "We didn't expose anything! Erin just happened to see us. What could we do? Pretend we don't know her? That's not realistic at all!""Did you really say nothing?" Ryder asked doubtfully.Calix was also skeptical as he questioned, "Erin is so sharp, and both of your acting skills are so poor. She must have figured it out."Tina exclaimed defensively, "We really didn't say anything! You two are so annoying! I'm dying of thirst here! Jill, hurry up and open the door. We can talk inside.""Yeah, I'm thirsty too," Jill echoed. She took out her room card, swiped it, and opened the door.The two women were about to close the door when Ryder stopped it with his hand. He asked, "What are you doing, not letting us in?""What are you coming in for? Don't you have your own room? Go away, we're going to take a nap!" Jill said grumpily."Taking a nap at this hour? Are you two pigs? The rehearsal is about to start," Ryder pointed out."W
