Erin, Jill, and Tina were savoring their lamb kebabs. Meanwhile, Chandler emerged from the baby's room, having just finished feeding Enny and Eddie.He shot Erin a snapshot of the little ones, trying to ease her mind while she enjoyed dinner with her friends. Erin replied on WhatsApp. "Looking good, hubby! You're a superhero dad! Love you!"In the baby's room, the Lehman sisters cradled a baby each, offering them gentle pats to coax out a burp.Seeing a parental glow in Candra's eyes, Calla grinned and asked, "When's the baby-making plan for you and Hans? Mr. Frost said both of you will get six months of paid leave once it happens! Sweet deal!""If you're so keen on it, why not speed things up and get married too?" Candra teased."I haven't even landed a boyfriend yet! Plus, we're talking about you now!"Candra sighed. "Hans wants to have two kids in two years.""And what about you?" Calla asked."I'll be straight with you—I'm not keen on having children!"Calla was surpri
"Sir, what's your relationship with the young lady who just left?" Erin asked with a smile.The old man was stunned and said, "What's it to you? Mind your own business!.""Gosh, sir. Are you acting out because you're guilty? You're so old, yet you still want to trick young ladies?" Jill said in a mocking tone."What do you mean trick? Why did you make it sound so nasty? So what if we met online? We're still in a normal relationship," said the old man.Tina chuckled and said, "Why are you nervous? We're not discriminating against a relationship with a huge age gap."Erin said, "Let's not waste our time talking to him anymore. Let's just have our food."The young lady had not returned. There was no use for them to be arguing with the old man.As Erin and the others carried on having their food, they looked like they were no longer minding the business of others. But they would scan the surroundings from the corner of their eyes from time to time.After the innocent young lady r
Chandler's warning worked. Erin did not dare to make a move on her own anymore."Do you hear me?" Chandler asked in a frosty voice.Erin replied, "Yes, I heard you.""I'm coming to pick you up now," said Chandler.Erin was surprised. "There's no need for that. We'll be heading back soon.""I'm coming to pick you up.""Alright. Do as you wish," Erin said,She looked upset after she hung up the call.Tina asked, "What's the matter? Is your husband angry?""He's probably just worried about me," Erin said helplessly."Erin, don't be upset since he's acting like this because he's worried about you. Chandler definitely can't even bring himself to think of something happening to you. You should feel happy that he cares about you so much," said Jill as she tried to convince Erin.Erin let out a long sigh and said, "Actually, he has always wanted me to mind my own business. But I've encountered this. If I don't care and something happens to that young woman, I won't be able to live
After Chandler heard that Hugo might have some last words to tell Erin and Kylan, he tactfully left the room."Chandler, stay. You're one of us too." Hugo looked at Chandler. Chandler nodded at him.At that moment, Hugo looked at Kylan and said, "Kid, I've lived a long life. Don't be sad. Just keep my funeral simple after I'm gone."It was quite rare for Kylan to be irrational, but he could not believe that Hugo was truly about to die soon."Gramps, stop saying silly things. You won't die. You'll live until you're 100!""Haha. If I wasn't stabbed, I really might live until I'm 100. But that's impossible now," Hugo replied.With tears streaming down her face, Erin said, "Don't talk anymore, Mr. Hugo. You'd better get a proper rest. We'll all be here with you."Hugo's face looked pale as he said, "Erin, I'm afraid I won't get a chance to talk anymore if I don't do it now."There was a pause before he added, "Now, stop talking, both of you. Listen to me."Kylan and Erin nodded.
Two hours later, Kylan came out from a mall. He opened up his trunk and realized the wooden box was gone. As he had expected, he was being watched.Kylan got in the car and left the underground parking lot very quickly. A man in a black suit in a black BMW that was parked not far from him made a call."Mr. Griffin, we've got a wooden box, but it's not the horn of the chameleon. It's just the horn of an ordinary deer."The man on the other end of the call said, "You've been trapped. Kylan already has his guard up. Abort your mission now. I'll have Flynn go get the horn back. Stay in the country and continue keeping an eye on Kylan.""Yes, Mr. Griffin."At that moment, the man hung up the call and put his phone on the table.He was standing in a vintage study, looking at a stream nearby with a little bridge outside the window. There was a school of white fish swimming freely in the water.A young lady in the room with pink hair said to her brother, "Let Flynn come with us this tim
After 9:00 p.m., Taylor successfully picked up Holly at the airport. Holly had gone to Alta after she escaped the underground palace.Both of them hugged each other for a while at the airport and went to the parking lot together. Taylor drove Holly home safely within two hours.After they got into her living room, he brought her luggage into her bedroom.Once he came out, he said, "Holly, you're tired. You should have a proper rest tonight. Let's meet again tomorrow."Holly did not want him to leave. She held his arm and said, "Stay with me tonight, Tay.""I think I better not. I want you to have a good rest.""I don't want that! I want you to stay with me. Also, I'm not sleepy now. I feel a little hungry," Holly replied.Taylor brushed her cheeks. "I'll make noodles for you then. Do you want that?"Holly nodded. "Yes, I do!"After he saw her smile, he said, "Go take a shower. I'll make you some noodles in the kitchen.""Alright! Thank you, Tay!" Holly tiptoed while l
After Taylor walked out of Holly's apartment building, he was surprised to see a familiar figure standing nearby. That man was standing next to a big tree with his back facing Taylor.Taylor walked up to him with a sullen face and immediately asked, "Why are you here?"Calix had a cigarette in between his fingers. He slowly turned around and smiled as he looked at Taylor."I just wanted to see if you would truly spend the night at Holly's apartment."Taylor asked, "You followed me?""So what if I do?" Calix tossed his cigarette on the floor and stomped on it to put it out."Calix, are you still hung up on me?"Maybe Calix did not expect Taylor to be so blunt. He was dazed for a few seconds. After he regained his senses, he walked forward alone. Taylor followed behind him while looking frosty.Both of them walked out of the neighborhood with one in front of the other.When they were about to go their separate ways, Calix suddenly looked back at him and said, "Tay, you're just
Kyle and Holly flew to the country to take their transit flight to Illimonte for their trip. It was then Erin got the news from Chandler. Chandler had sent the text half an hour ago.Erin wanted to ask Chandler about it, but he was already in a meeting by then. She did not want to disturb him.She wanted to ask Holly, but she was on the plane. It was inconvenient for Erin to contact her. Erin was very surprised.Not only was she shocked at Holly's sudden decision, but by Kyle's courageous act too. He was willing to travel thousands of miles to keep his love company.Erin suddenly thought of Taylor, so she immediately called him. She was surprised that Calix was the one who answered the call."Where's Taylor?" Erin asked.Calix glanced at Taylor, who was standing and drinking in his garden. He said, "He's drinking at home.""Chandler said Holly and Taylor have broken up. Is it true?" Erin asked."Really?" Calix was shocked.Erin said, "Kyle heard it from Holly herself. He t
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
