Two days later, in the evening, Corwin rang the doorbell of a fancy hotel suite.When Janette opened the door, she looked surprised. "Mr. Murphy, what brings you here?""Mind if we have a chat inside?" Corwin's expression turned slightly serious."Not at all!" Janette opened the door wide and stepped aside to let Corwin in.Corwin glanced around the living room and then looked at the closed bedroom door. "Is Brooke in the bedroom?"Janette was taken aback. She hadn't expected Corwin to know Brooke was there."Is she in there?" Corwin asked again.Janette couldn't keep the truth hidden any longer. She replied awkwardly, "Yes, she is.""Tell her to come out," Corwin said."Okay." Janette approached the bedroom door and knocked gently.She called out, "Brooke! Your dad's here."Inside the room, Brooke nervously stood by the window. After a moment's thought, she chose to hide behind the curtains.After a while, Janette turned to Corwin with a troubled look. "Mr. Murphy, it seem
Corwin couldn't bring himself to be honest with Brooke when she asked him the question."Brooke, I think it would be a good idea if we went overseas to talk to a psychiatrist. We can stay there if needed," Corwin suggested calmly."Dad! I'm not dealing with any mental health issues!" Brooke insisted.Corwin shook his head. "Maybe you're not facing a mental health problem, but the way you've been acting lately isn't what I expect from a good child. I'm not trying to hurt you. I just want you to be as kind as you used to be."I've been observing your recent behavior, and I'm disappointed in you. If your mom were still here, she would feel the same way if she saw how you're behaving."Corwin's sincere words left a bitter feeling in Brooke's heart. With a heavy heart, she asked, "Dad, is it because you're upset that I'm fond of Mrs. Frost?"He explained, "No, Brooke. I wouldn't object to you liking Mrs. Frost. That's your personal choice. It's the inappropriate actions that come from
Erin squinted in the direction Enny pointed and grinned. "Enny, it really is them—Ms. Walker and Ms. Jensen! I can't believe they're here, too."Jill and Tina, both in bikinis, noticed Enny and Erin when they were taking a selfie. Swiftly, they turned and walked away."Jill! Tina! I see you both! Where are you rushing off to?" Smiling, Erin took Enny's hand and approached them.Meanwhile, Jill and Tina acted as if they didn't hear Erin and kept walking briskly."Tina, does sneaking away like this make us seem guilty?" Jill asked."Definitely. Erin isn't dumb!" Tina sighed."So, what's the plan now? Chandler told us to stay in the room, and now we're in a pickle." Jill regretted their decision immediately.They thought Erin was still in her hotel room, especially since they had confirmed it just half an hour ago.To pull off a surprise proposal for Erin, Chandler came up with a clever plan. He created a WhatsApp group called "Marathon Team" and added everyone who visited Mufrana
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
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
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
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
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
