He didn't want to bother with Erin. But she got captured again!He was so furious that he couldn't speak. In fact, that anger was soon replaced by worry and fear.And so, he took the initiative to call Osborn. Osborn picked up the call immediately. "Hello, Chandler.""You mentioned that there was an informant tailing that car. Can we trust that person?" Chandler asked, feeling uneasy.Unexpectedly, Osborn chuckled in a relaxed manner. "Don't worry. Your wife got lucky this time. Based on how he assessed the situation, I can tell that my informant isn't an ordinary person. He's either a fellow cop or he's genuinely capable.""Alright, got it." Chandler hung up, feeling slightly reassured.But until he saw Erin and heard news of her safety, he kept his guard up and couldn't relax at all.He started to blame himself for behaving coldly toward her. It wouldn't have hurt him to see her.In the short time he'd ignored her calls and messages, she got abducted. Chandler realized
In less than two minutes, a female doctor from the emergency team said, "Mr. Frost, your wife is fine. Her skull isn't fractured, but it's still better to send her to the hospital. She should get a comprehensive examination to rule out any internal injuries.""Take her downstairs. Be careful." Chandler wanted to hold Erin, but he was afraid he would aggravate her internal injuries if she had any. The emergency personnel were more experienced in handling this.The female doctor nodded. She and her colleague went downstairs to get a specialized stretcher.Hans had already rushed upstairs by then. "Mr. Frost, we have detained Percival's men. Mr. Hext will be here in half an hour. The police force couldn't send officers here in time due to a large-scale drug bust operation—""Forget it! Send my wife to the hospital. You stay here and work with Osborn when he reaches." Chandler's expression became strained as he looked at Erin's pale face. He felt a mix of anger and heartache.He
As his words fell, the door to the hospital room closed.Erin stared at the closed door, feeling a sense of inexplicable grievance. She didn't know how to respond to Chandler's cold indifference.She'd explained everything that needed to be explained and offered apologies. Yet, he still refused to forgive her. Gradually, her sense of grievance turned into resentment. She started to find Chandler difficult to get along with. What on earth would she need to do for him to be satisfied? Did she have to break ties with Paulo?As she delved into this question, Erin began to have a headache and feel weary. She hadn't eaten for a long time, after all. She glanced at her phone.Chandler's bodyguards had retrieved her phone that Otis casually tossed into the cornfield. Other than some minor scratches on its surface, the phone was perfectly fine.While Erin held the phone, tears welled up in her eyes. She recalled telling Chandler that if she ever lost her phone, she would still choo
Cherry snapped back to her senses. Anger was apparent in her eyes. "How could you talk to me like that? I'm your mother, not your child! Initially, I wanted to discuss this with you and Yvette, but now I see there's no need for it! You're embarrassed that I found someone younger, huh? Fine! I don't need you or your sister to meddle in my marriage! I'll make my own decisions. I don't care whether you both agree or not. I just want to live according to my own wishes for a few more years. What's wrong with that?"After saying this, she stood up and prepared to leave.Seeing that her mother was completely unreceptive to her advice, Erin held her tongue. It wasn't worthwhile quarreling with her mother over a man like that.Erin calmed herself down to avoid saying more hurtful words.Noticing that Erin showed no intention of compromising or letting up, Cherry walked to the door in disappointment. Before leaving, she said, "The chicken soup won't taste good when it gets cold."Withou
Seeing that Alan was genuinely concerned, Erin realized there was no need for her to hide anything.She said, "Well, there's been a bit of a misunderstanding between him and me.""You should try to resolve it as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the misunderstanding persists, your hearts will grow farther apart over time. Marriage is indeed challenging, especially with Chandler's amnesia now. You two might not understand each other as well as you did before. Please try to be more understanding of him. He's managing such a large company. Not only that, he also has to deal with difficult unexpected problems from time to time. It's really not easy." Alan said all that from the depths of his heart. He could see that Chandler faced much more pressure than he did as a hospital director.Erin remained silent, agreeing with Alan's words. She lifted her gaze to look out the window. It was getting late. As it was winter, darkness fell earlier."I'm an outsider, so I won't poke my nose in you
Percival had plotted against her again. Erin struggled to contain her boiling anger. It took all she had to stop herself from cursing at Kelly.Kelly noticed Erin's displeased expression. She appreciated how Erin kept herself composed and didn't lash out. So, her tone softened. "Mrs. Frost, when I found out that my husband was such a scumbag, I was as displeased as you were, if not more. But I've already married him. So, what can I do? My child is still young. I can't let her lose her father. If Percival goes to prison for life, he won't survive."Kelly took a deep breath. "Percival has betrayed our marriage. But I can't bear to see my daughter lose her father at such a young age. As a fellow mother, I hope you can sympathize with my situation and help us. We will be grateful to you for this."Of course, Erin didn't believe that. How could she be grateful to someone who had caused her husband to be castrated? Both the Lowe and Johnstone families were powerless against Chandler
Erin didn't look at him. "Well, that's the only way to think about it. Hurry up and urge your boss to go abroad for treatment. There's nothing going on between Paulo and me. I've even distanced myself from Paulo. What more does he want from me? I can't just cut off all ties with Paulo because of his unfounded suspicions. You know, back when I was at my worst, Paulo was by my side. He encouraged and guided me. With his help, I managed to overcome the negativity and live until today. For the sake of our family, I became a heartless friend to him. Chandler needs to stop driving me into a corner."Thinking of Chandler's words when he left, Erin felt a wave of sadness. Chandler had accused her of being indecisive in their relationship. She felt immensely wronged. Kyle sensed Erin's helplessness and disappointment. He offered her words of comfort."Don't worry, Mrs. Frost. I will do my best to arrange for Mr. Frost to go abroad. Even if he finds me annoying, I'll remind him to get trea
Paulo's straightforward expression of his longing weighed heavily on Erin. Right then, she was at a loss as to how to respond to him.In order to ease the awkwardness, she changed the topic. "How have you been these two days?"Paulo was currently in the hospital elevator.He answered honestly, "Not great."His response made it hard for Erin to go on. After thinking for a while, Erin suggested, "Paulo, why don't you go on a trip and take your mind off things? Don't stay cooped up in the Garden of Eden all the time."The Garden of Eden was a place full of heartache for Paulo at the moment. It wasn't conducive to his healing at this stage.Paulo didn't reply to her words. Instead, he asked the question he had been wanting to ask. "How's your relationship with Chandler now?"Erin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why are you asking me about this?"Before Paulo could answer, the elevator door opened. He walked out of the elevator and headed toward Erin's room. Upon reaching,
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
