Hans nodded at Sean respectfully before leaving the kitchen.Not long after Hans left, Erin came into the kitchen with her hair dried and clothes changed.Standing in the near distance, she saw Sean cutting the live lobster's antenna with a pair of scissors and was deep in thought. His movements looked a little angry, and the lobster kept resisting him.Finally, Erin said, "Did you forget how to cook, Chef Sean? Is there a need for you to look so resentful?"Hearing her voice, Sean looked at Erin, who had her gorgeous hair cascading down her shoulders. Her bare face looked so refined and beautiful that he was stunned. Even though he was already used to seeing beautiful women, his heart still pounded when he saw a naturally beautiful woman like Erin.This silly girl, who was already pregnant, was looking at him in a foreign land, but the man she loved was getting married behind her back."Erin, I'm a little bored. Come talk to me for a while. " Sean turned his focus back to the lo
Chandler glanced at her indifferently. "Mm-hmm. Let's go."Seeing that he walked off without caring about her, Jazzlyn could not help but call out, "Chandler."The way she called out for him sounded like she had something else to say, but it did not make Chandler turn around. With his back facing her, he asked, "What's the matter?"Jazzlyn did not get mad that he did not turn around. She said in a delicate voice, "We're a married couple from today onward. I know this marriage was decided by our grandfathers, so it might be a little sudden to you. It's very sudden to me as well—"Chandler turned around and looked at her, saying, "That's right! It's indeed very sudden to me. You should know why I agreed to this."Hearing what he said, Jazzlyn immediately looked a little embarrassed.Since Chandler had already told her upfront what he was thinking deep down, Jazzlyn felt that she had to tell him what she felt as well. "I know a marriage without feelings as a foundation is indeed goi
Chandler spent the whole night in his study while Jazzlyn stayed in an empty room on the first night of her marriage.At daybreak, Chandler left the Frost residence.When Chandler's car left, Jazzlyn was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in her room on the third floor, watching her husband leave. Her beautiful face looked tired as she had not slept a wink the night before."How could you do this to me, Chandler?" Jazzlyn looked aggrieved and unwilling to accept defeat. Tears instantly streamed down her face. Her fingers that were placed on the gold curtains slowly curled into a fist.At that moment, Kyle was driving while Chandler was sitting at the back. Kyle then said to Chandler, "Mr. Frost, we can depart any time after we get to the airport.""Alright." Chandler stared blankly at his phone while deep in thought. He knew that Erin was still asleep at that time.Since he had already made up his mind, he did not hesitate anymore. He quickly sent a text to her, "Er
Erin and Saber happened to walk by when Sean opened the bathroom door.Looking behind him, Erin saw Alana in the bathroom. Alan walked out and said while looking a little awkward, "I had something I wanted to ask Sean …"Her response instantly made it even more awkward for the other three of them.Saber knew very well that Alana was talking to Sean about Chandler's business, but as her boyfriend, it was inevitable for him to feel a little uncomfortable when he saw that. He said, "Alana, I think I forgot to bring sunscreen. Help me look for it in my luggage."Saber left upon saying that. Alana laughed and said to Erin, "I'll be right back. Let's have a proper chat later!"Sean and Erin were then left standing in the same place. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said, "Let's go and have the creamy spinach soup I made for you early this morning today. You're a pregnant lady, and if your man is not around, you have to take good care of yourself.""You know how to make soup?"
After Erin left the oceanfront villa, two bodyguards dressed in casual clothes followed behind her. She turned to say to them, "Both of you don't have to follow me. I want to go on a walk on my own."The bodyguards were a little troubled. One of them said, "Miss Lane, before Mr. Frost left, he said you will need at least two bodyguards with you if you were to go out on your own.""It's fine. It's basically all tourists here. Don't be so nervous." Erin turned and left upon saying that.Both the bodyguards were torn. They did not dare to press on and continue to follow her, but they felt worried about not doing so. As bodyguards, they did not dare to disobey the order that Chandler had given himself.However, Erin had a very special status. It was not too much to even say that she was their boss.Seeing that Erin had gone far, one of the bodyguards did not hesitate anymore, he immediately called Hans to ask for his instructions.Hans was picking ingredients with the chef at that mo
Chandler forced himself to be cheerful when facing Cherry. He said with a smile, "Erin accidentally dropped her phone into the pool, so her phone is broken and can't be used for now. I'll buy her a new one soon. Don't worry."Only then did Cherry feel reassured and said, "So, that's what happened. I feel at ease now. Where are you guys now? Is Erin with you?"Her words made Chandler frown a little, then he continued to lie, saying, "We're back in the city. Erin's sleeping in the bedroom. I'm having a video conference."Hearing that he was having a conference, Cherry immediately said, "Gosh, I'm sorry to interrupt your meeting! I'm fine. I'll talk to you guys later. Chandler, thank you for taking such meticulous care of Erin. She was blessed to have met you."Chandler felt guilty when he heard that, but he could not let it show. He could only continue exchanging pleasantries with a stiff face.Soon, the call ended. This was the first time Chandler's palms got sweaty when talking to
Jazzlyn was so happy she could cry when Chandler said that. However, she pretended to be composed and didn't dare show it. If she seemed too eager, she would look like some depraved nymphomaniac.Hence, Jazzlyn lowered her eyes and said shyly, "I didn't mean that—"Feeling awkward, Gaston pretended to clear his throat. Since his grandson was willing to make up for the uneventful wedding night with his new bride, he thought he should leave and give the young ones some private space.He suddenly looked at Kyle and said, "Could you please escort me back, Kyle? I'm feeling a little under the weather, I think I'd better head back now.""Grandpa—" Jazzlyn called out, making a show of feeling reluctant about Gaston's departure.Gaston glanced at her and stated, "Jazzlyn, you should stay tonight. There's no need to send me off."After Kyle and Gaston left, Chandler dismissed the butler and maids in the living room.As Chandler, a man so perfect he could pass off as an ethereal deity, wa
Chandler's question made the four hackers look at each other. Then, they all nodded unanimously.However, the leader of the hackers added, "But all those are just our speculations so far. What if we're all wrong? No one can say for sure.""Focus all investigations on Jack and Tessa. I'll keep in touch with Osborn on my end," Chandler instructed and closed the computer screen. He needed some time to cool off.If it was really Tessa who instructed Jack to do everything, the two long years Jack spent working for him while secretly being undercover was done so well it was terrifying. Chandler couldn't even imagine its full implication.He hesitated as he looked at his phone absentmindedly. It was the first time he'd ever felt so panicked and helpless in his life. The overwhelming feeling of exhaustion made his nerves tense, and a strong sense of suffocation hit him. He felt like he was going mad!No matter how much he wanted to sleep, his exasperation and annoyance made it impossible
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
