When Erin arrived at the hotel where Wyatt was staying, he'd already taken a taxi to the airport with his luggage. Gunnar had instructed him to do so.Shortly after they entered the hotel lobby, Gunnar arrived from the hotel's back door. He pretended to have a chance encounter with Erin."Erin, what are you doing here?" He feigned surprise.Noticing that Gunnar was in casual attire, she asked, "What are you doing here?""Have you forgotten? You asked me to help you get rid of Wyatt. Don't worry, he won't bother your mother anymore," Gunnar assured her."So, it was you." On her way there, she'd suspected that it was Yvette's doing. But Yvette didn't even know where Cherry had gone on vacation. She couldn't have made arrangements that quickly."Of course, I wouldn't dare slack off when it's something you've asked of me. Your mother isn't in a good mood right now, so I've asked a few subordinates to keep an eye on her. I'm about to go pick her up now. As you can see, the sun is se
The next day, Erin took Cherry back home. Hava Island was now full of sad memories for Cherry. Of course, she didn't want to stay there any longer.On the flight back, Cherry mentioned that she wanted to stay in her hometown for a few days. Erin said she would accompany her.Her mother had almost married Wyatt. So, what she was going through now was essentially a breakup and heartbreak. Erin thought it would do her good to spend a few days in her hometown. The mother and daughter would spend several peaceful and simple days together.Cherry didn't object to this. After they returned to the city, both of them packed their luggage and arranged to meet. They then took a car back to their hometown.Calla and Candra had wanted to accompany them. But Erin declined, thinking her mother might prefer some quiet time with fewer people around.Once they arrived in their hometown, Cherry visited a church and prayed.At home, Erin cooked several dishes so that Cherry would get to eat when she
Sean didn't continue speaking. Erin walked over and sat down. "What does she think?"Sean raised his eyes to look at her. The look in his eyes grew deep, and his expression became serious. He looked into her eyes and said, "She believes the person I've always liked is you."This answer made Erin feel a little awkward. Her eyes flickered, and she chuckled. "How could she have such an idea?""Because she found an encrypted file on my phone," he said, his gaze not leaving hers. It was deep and impenetrable, and the affection that emanated from his eyes bewildered Erin. She even thought she might have misread him.Sean didn't hide his emotions. He expressed them openly without holding back.His gaze made Erin feel uneasy. Her heart began to beat faster. She glanced at the glass on the coffee table. It was still half full, so she picked it up to take a few sips.Even when he noticed her slightly unnatural demeanor, Sean didn't avoid eye contact. He asked softly, "Aren't you go
Erin instantly felt dizzy. She became unsteady and swayed on her feet. Sean quickly reached out and supported her. "What's wrong?"Closing her eyes, Erin felt a headache coming on. Her emotions had been too intense. A rush of blood made her breathing a bit labored. Weakly, she explained, "I'm fine. I was diagnosed with a slight case of hypoglycemia recently."Without a word, Sean held her waist and guided her to sit on the sofa. Erin leaned against the back of the sofa and adjusted her breathing. Her heart rate was racing. She closed her eyes. "Whether you believe it or not, that woman from that night wasn't me. I'm telling you the truth. Simon encountered that woman on that night too. He believed me, and he believed that someone was impersonating me."Never did she expect Simon's words to come true so quickly. The woman impersonating her was causing trouble for her friends and tarnishing her reputation. She was despicable!Fuming with anger, Erin massaged her temples. At the
As soon as he left, Erin was so infuriated that she threw the water glass on the coffee table against the wall. The glass shards scattered around. She couldn't tolerate these baseless accusations any longer.Sean clearly didn't believe her words at all. If it weren't for Simon's hidden ailment, he might have believed that the woman at the party was her too.Who the hell was impersonating her?What was even more terrifying was that the woman seemed to look exactly like her. Could the other person be someone who underwent plastic surgery? Who had such terrific plastic surgery skills to replicate her appearance? No, this wasn't her appearance. This face originally belonged to Pamela.Thinking of Pamela, Erin immediately thought of Paulo. She went to the bedroom to get her phone and dialed Paulo's number.Paulo, who was in his study at the moment, hesitated as he looked at Erin's phone number. He glanced at his younger sister, Maya, who was not far away.Maya asked, "Is it Erin?"
Two days later, Erin returned after leaving her hometown earlier. But Cherry stayed behind.The reason for Erin's return was that Calla called and said Asa was back!She could not wait to see her son, so she went straight to a big amusement park once she returned to the city. They agreed to meet there.At first, Erin found it strange. Why did Asa want to meet her at the amusement park? It was after she arrived that she realized Asa had reserved the entire place.It was already 7:00 pm when she arrived. And she was holding the storybook she wanted to give to her son.At a glance, she saw Asa standing in the near distance. He was wearing a suit and holding a bunch of roses. While beaming, he called out to her, "Mommy, I'm back! These flowers are for you!"As he said that, he ran toward Erin.Erin crouched and held him tightly. With a catch in her throat, she said, "My son! My Asa! My good boy! You're finally back!""I'm sorry to have left for so long, Mommy." There was a pause be
Erin could not bring herself to say those cruel words as she looked into Dani's eyes. She sighed and said, "Dani, thank you for wanting to help our family. But Asa is my son. I love him. And I also miss him very much."Her tone started becoming calmer. She was feeling down. At the same time, a sense of helplessness was buried deep within her."Do you know why I did my best to not visit you? Because I was afraid I would gradually like your strengths after spending time with you. Is it bad to have a very capable child who doesn't worry me? Truth be told, it's really great." Erin added, "When Asa was in danger, I desperately wished he could grow up immediately. Because I can't bear to let a child face cruelty in life. But I don't have a way to let Asa live in a fairytale world either."Erin inhaled and said, "I can only let Asa face reality. But I have never thought of completely changing my son! Asa should have a childhood that he deserves. He didn't have me by his side when he was
Chandler finally found the cause of his amnesia. It was because he had a tumor pressing against his central nervous system. That was why he suddenly lost a part of his memory.At that time, the technology in the country was not advanced enough to detect the tumor.Moreover, Chandler's doctor abroad told him that his tumor was still in its initial stage. That was why it was hard for it to be noticed.But the tumor would grow at an alarming rate soon. If he did not control or get rid of it, it would affect his brain.The special equipment for his surgery was only successfully invented one month ago. Chandler was very lucky. He was among the first batch of patients to use it. The surgery was a success. Chandler was sent to his ward very soon after he was wheeled out of the operating room.He only had a very small scar on his head. He could be discharged from the hospital after resting for a week.The doctor also said that he would slowly recover his memories in a month if there we
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
