With a self-deprecating tone, Erin said, "Looks like I'm not good at everything. You'll lose some respect for me after seeing the sweater I knitted."Erin lifted the sweater she had knitted, sporting many dropped stitches. Seeing her handiwork, Chandler joked and said, "Wifey, your knitted sweater is very unique. I'll wear it to work.""Stop teasing me, Hubby. You'll be laughed at wearing this sweater in the streets. I've given up. I should just order a custom-made sweater online for everyone. "It's getting colder, and you'll be able to wear it soon. We can wear it when we go on a trip abroad together. We can all match," said Erin.The men weren't interested in her suggestion, but Tina and Jill were very much on board. They immediately went up to her and told her what pattern they wanted.Seeing the two of them so interested put Erin in a good mood, and she noted their request.Noticing a smile on Erin's face, Ryder immediately walked up to her and put in his request. He shot
Corwin's remark may or may not have been intentional. He did not look embarrassed after his admission. On the contrary, he looked straight into Erin's eyes.Erin looked embarrassed by his remark. "Is that so? Thank you for your compliment. Any other woman could've said the same thing I did.""I have heard other women say what you said. But why do I only feel touched when you say it?" He looked at her in confusion as if he was looking for an answer.Erin was at a loss for words.Was she overthinking it? What did Corwin mean? Was he flirting with her?Erin quickly rejected that thought. She felt Corwin's emotions might have been affected by Brooke."Corwin, I'm going to head back first," she bid him goodbye with a bit of embarrassment.Suddenly, Corwin replied, "Erin, I'm sorry. I just thought of my wife."Erin looked back at him and smiled. "It's fine. I didn't overthink about it. I can understand."Erin's smile filled Corwin's gaze and left him in a daze for a moment. Her smil
Dana's concern made Janette say firmly, "My boss knows. There's no need for you to work with me if you're worried.""Janette, I'm just asking. Since you've planned it all, we can work together.""Are you serious?""Yes, I am. But the pay is too low. If you can do three million dollars, my boyfriend and I can get the job done," said Dana.Janette hesitated. "Three million dollars is already out of my budget. Let me think about it.""Alright. I'll look forward to your good news."…Erin went to hike early in the morning the following day.She wanted to visit the places where Cherry had been. It was her way to remember her late mother.Chandler drank with Kylan until late at night, so he was still asleep.The three children were all still sleeping too.Erin had asked Jill to join her, but Jill was still asleep at the agreed time. Erin had no choice but to go ahead herself.Erin reached the top of Maple Villa after almost an hour.The staff at the villa had told her that an ext
Erin didn't object if Corwin wanted to head down the mountain. That was what she wanted anyway.Both of them descended the mountain together. They barely said anything to each other as Erin was focused on the mountainous path, and Corwin did not interrupt her. Chandler and the others were already awake when Erin and Corwin were nearing the villa. None of them slept in. They all went to the dining hall to have breakfast.While they were talking about Erin, Jill appeared with a small backpack. "Don't worry. Erin asked me to hike up the mountain with her this morning, but I didn't wake up. She probably went on her own.""It's good for Erin to go hiking. It's better than her staying indoors." Calix walked up to their table with his buffet breakfast.When Chandler appeared in the hall with Eddie and Enny, Kylan waved to them. They joined the others.Chandler held the menu and asked Enny, "What would you like for breakfast, Enny?"Enny had her hand under her chin. She squinted slee
Brooke apologized like she had been terribly wronged. After hearing that, Erin comforted her, "Don't overthink it, Brooke. Liam has no ill will."She turned to Liam and said, "Hurry up and get into the car, Liam. Or else your father will get out of the car too."Displeased, Liam got into the car at Erin's reminder.Chandler happened to be taking a call while Eddie and Enny were both in the booster seats at the back."I'm fine, Mrs. Frost. Go ahead and get in the car. I can see that Mr. Knight and the others are all waiting for you."Brooke took a few steps back and waved goodbye. "Goodbye, Mrs. Frost.""We'll get going now, Brooke." Erin did not stay any longer. They all had a farewell meal before they left the villa. Brooke had only run out with the gifts as Erin loaded the luggage into the car."Mrs. Frost, please forgive my father for being unable to send all of you off. He's having a video conference.""It's fine. Thank your father on our behalf for his generous hospitali
Tina thought she discovered a huge secret, but Ryder said calmly, "I didn't say anything. You're just believing in whatever you're willing to believe in. You're judging the truth with feelings. Is that how you act as a police officer?"Jill was not surprised by Ryder's reaction. She knew he would not admit it in front of Tina.How could he possibly let one more person gossip about the fact that he was secretly in love with Erin?"Ryder, stop lying to me. You like Erin, don't you?" Tina asked."What's so good about Erin? I think you women are nuts in the head. You shouldn't think I'll feel the same just because Paulo is deeply in love with her. That's absurd," said Ryder.He looked so calm that Tina started to question herself. "Isn't that true?"Jill turned around to glance at her and said, "Tina, stop guessing. Even if Ryder truly liked Erin, he no longer stands a chance. Isn't that right?""That's right," Tina replied.Jill circled back to the topic naturally, asking, "Tina,
Gavin heard a ringing in his ear after hearing Erin's question. What he did not wish to face the most still happened in the end. His expression was very stiff, but Margot still had not realized it. She even complained, "Darling, you're here too late. Gina and I walked so much that we almost collapsed. You're so busy with work that you don't care about me at all—"At that moment, Gavin pulled her away while looking upset and said, "Let's talk after we get back.""Why? What's the matter? Why did you suddenly become upset?" Margot was so absorbed in her world with Gavin that she overlooked Erin, who was standing behind her.At that time, Erin's back was facing her. She did not see her face at all when she ran over."Gavin, does Wilma know this?" Erin asked. The partner of a person who had an affair would usually have no clue.As Gavin's sister, Erin thought she would not want to interfere if Wilma knew and had no opinions. After all, it was her brother's family matters.Her questi
Gavin's words immediately made Gina nervous. "Gavin, you can't let that slip when Margot returns later. She doesn't know about us. Besides, I was drunk that night.""Is that so? You were drunk, yet you were still able to call out my name?" Gavin was not convinced.Gina and Margot were best friends. Gavin would often take them to supper after they were done with work.Once, when Margot was not around, Gina touched Gavin's calf with her leg under the table. But Gina explained that it was an accident.Not long after that, when Gina was helping Gavin clean his office, she purposefully let her bra strap show. Gavin thought that she was deliberately trying to seduce him again back then.That was until Gina got drunk because she fought with Tony's bodyguard. Margot had also gotten drunk with her.After Gavin took Gina back to her apartment, she hugged him.He could not hold himself back and did the deed with her.But after that night, Gina kept her distance from Gavin. She did not eve
