Erin smiled as she accepted the lilies from Asa. She bent down and kissed Asa on the cheek. "Thank you. The lilies are beautiful. I love them!"Alana walked over with an apologetic smile. "Hi, Erin. I'm so sorry for not congratulating you on your marriage to Chandler yet. I wish you both a happy marriage. May you have a blessed union!"The next moment, her smile disappeared, and she said with a pained expression, "Chandler told me what happened to you. You've really suffered a lot all these years."Erin slowly stood up. Seeing Alana weeping tears for her, Erin couldn't help but feel that something was off."Thank you. I hope we can get along well in the future too," Erin said with an earnest smile.Alana walked toward Erin and affectionately linked arms with her. "Come inside with me. We haven't seen each other for so many years; we should have a good chat. I've bought you many presents."Chandler felt relieved upon seeing Erin and Alana getting along well. He looked at their ret
Before they called it a day, Erin explained everything from A to Z about her pretending to be Ryder's fiancée at the hospital.Holding her in his arms, Chandler's heart finally felt assured. However, he raised an eyebrow and warned, "Next time, don't agree to such requests from other men! You have a husband now. If there's anything like this in the future, let me handle it."Erin nodded sleepily. "Understood, boss. Can I sleep now?""Yes, you can," Chandler answered with a bossy demeanor. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Right, Alana said she wants to move back to the villa in a few days. You don't object to it, do you?"Erin had a foreboding feeling in her heart, but she thought she was overthinking things. She replied calmly, "Sure. If that's what she wants, I have no objections."Despite her words, her body turned to the other side so that she was no longer facing Chandler. Seeing this, Chandler pressed himself against her back and put an arm around her waist.He
When it was close to 8 pm, Chandler drove back to pick Erin up for the jewelry charity dinner. As he neared the villa, he received the text message Erin sent to him: "Hubby, my editor asked to meet me to talk about the publishing of my comic. I'll go to the banquet myself. I've got the address from Mr. Morn. See you there at night!"Suppressing his emotions, Chandler went to the charity dinner alone gloomily.During the day, Erin had sent him a text message begging him to not publicly announce their marriage to others. An occasion such as the one they were attending wasn't suitable for disclosing their private matters.At that time, Chandler was quite angry about her request, but he wasn't willing to back down due to his ego. He even said to Erin teasingly that even if she wanted to make it public, he wouldn't want it. In the end, they both agreed that they would pretend to be familiar acquaintances at the banquet.…The banquet was held at a private castle, and the owner of the
Erin was completely caught off guard as she never expected Roman would forcefully attempt to kiss her. She quickly regained her senses and pushed him away with all her might. Her resistance helped him regain some sanity.He took a clumsy step backward.Feeling a bit anxious, Erin reached for the light switch near the door and hastily turned it on. As the bright light illuminated the room, Roman turned around, unable to face her—he knew what he'd just done. Such a bold move was only possible when under the undue influence of alcohol."Roman, it's me." Erin's voice was soft as she spoke, and she took off her mask.Roman, who had her back turned to her, knew he couldn't avoid facing her forever. Therefore, he slowly turned around."I know it's you, Erin." He'd kissed her without her consent, but he had no intention of apologizing for it. He waited many years to do that. If it weren't for the alcohol, he wouldn't have been able to kiss her, especially not when he was sober.His respo
Just as Chandler returned to the car with Erin, May and Megan searched for her in the banquet hall. Over the years, Megan and May had participated in many parties. They spilled red wine, tripped, and even drugged other female celebrities. They would take advantage of the time when the guests toasted each other to make their move.If any female celebrity happened to end up sleeping with some other men those nights due to the tricks they played, she could only keep it to herself and cover it up. After all, if any such scandal broke out, it would only further damage her reputation and image as a public figure.Needless to say, Erin dodged a bullet and emerged unscathed that day.When Erin and Chandler left, they took the exclusive passageway in Noah's courtyard. Besides a few maids, no one else saw them.Right then, the atmosphere inside the black Maybach was oppressive, icy, and intimidating. "Why aren't you driving off yet?" Erin asked."Don't you have anything to explain?" Chand
Seeing that Chandler was kneeling, Roman felt that he should leave. The newlyweds needed their own space to sort things out."I'm going, Erin. You two should have a good talk."After Roman left, Chandler remained kneeling on the ground. His humble move completely extinguished the flames of anger in Erin's heart. She blamed herself for pushing Chandler to this point.Glancing at her surroundings quickly, Erin found that it was dimly lit and no one else was around. She said, "Get up now, Chandler."With a conflicted look in his eyes, Chandler said, "Don't mention getting a divorce so easily again in the future, Erin."Looking at the imposing 6'2" man kneeling on the ground, Erin nodded and agreed.With that, Chandler finally stood up. The moment he stood up straight, Erin went back to being a delicate and tender woman. Chandler put a hand across her shoulder and helped her back into the passenger seat gently. Soon, he got in and drove them away from the castle.…On their way b
After the incident where Yvette sustained a forehead injury after Ian pushed her, she'd been out of work for some time. She couldn't continue filming or shooting advertisements. The only thing she did was spend her days cooped up in her villa and lashing out at almost everybody.Since she couldn't attend Noah's banquet, she placed her hopes in May and Megan to deal with Erin. But then, they were incompetent, and let Erin escape unharmed!"Flora, has Erin been living in Chandler's villa recently?" Yvette stood on the sofa huffily. There was a pile of designer bags that she longed to carry when she went out, but the scar on her forehead prevented that from happening.Seeing that Yvette finally sat down, Flora breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she sat down, it would mean some sense of rationality had returned to her, and she could have a normal conversation.Flora sat down on the sofa not far away and said, "That's right. According to our informant, that seems to be the case. I he
Erin merely glanced at Ian impassively even though he went out of his way to make pleasant talk. However, Erin still stood up and shook his hand briefly before quickly withdrawing out of common courtesy. "Thank you for taking care of my parents while I was gone."Ian smiled gracefully and openly. "We're all family. There's no need to be so formal."Yvette sat in her seat grumpily and observed the interaction between her ex-husband with his first ex-wife with cold eyes. She was going crazy inside, but her excellent acting skills allowed her to stay composed as she remained silent. She'd divorced Ian by then. Cherry and Steven had come to terms with this fact. They didn't hold a grudge against Ian and would still greet him amicably if they chanced upon him."What a coincidence, Ian. You're here for dinner too?"Steven took the initiative to stand up and greet him. Although Ian had a disgraceful past history with Tracy, he'd just invested eighty million dollars in Steven's new factory
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
