The woman who had unexpectedly appeared turned out to be Malyla from the village in the mountains. One could imagine the hardships and effort she had undertaken to locate Engel.Erin was alarmed. She clenched her right fist and aimed the weaponized ring she wore on her middle finger at Malyla's neck. She was ready to strike at any moment.Unbeknownst to her, several of Malyla's men were lying in ambush in the forest surrounding them. Armed with guns, they hid in the shadows to protect Malyla."Jerry, you'd better advise the woman behind you not to make any reckless moves. I don't want to kill a pregnant woman; I'm pregnant with your child too!" Malyla stared at Engel intently.Engel couldn't shout for help as he had to consider Erin's safety. He had no means of calling for reinforcements, so he had no choice but to engage with Malyla for now.With an apologetic look in his eyes, he said, "I'm sorry, Malyla. I apologize for leaving without waiting for you back then.""It's fine. I
Erin and the others heard every word that Malyla said to Engel in their private room.Draco took a sip of his coffee. His expression became cold as he remarked, "This woman is truly malicious.""Regardless, Engel had indeed drugged her, and this led to her being raped by that man. If it were me, I probably wouldn't be able to let go of this grudge either. "However, what Malyla and Amayeta did was quite despicable. They aren't exactly innocent, either," Erin commented. Her eyes were shifty. She absentmindedly checked the time on her phone and saw a message from Chandler.She swiped it open and read the message that said, "Wifey, Asa wants to eat smoked salmon today. I'll make it for him. We're heading to the fish market. Would you like to come with us?"Erin replied immediately, "Sure."Five seconds later, her phone rang."Wifey, we'll be at the coffee shop shortly. Come out in five minutes." Chandler was all smiles as he glanced at Asa, who was seated in the passenger seat.
"Ugh! This is so complicated. You need to be more careful in the future! Though this person keeps challenging you to a fight, at least he won't resort to underhanded tactics. "You don't need to worry about him sneaking an attack on you. You just need to be cautious of other treacherous people who might be working behind the scenes—" Kylan suddenly held Erin's hand firmly. "Enough. I'll handle my own affairs, so please don't worry about it. Please accept the bracelet so that I can be at ease, okay?"It was hard to reject Kylan when he looked at Erin so expectantly and pleadingly. Reluctantly, Erin said, "Fine, I'll hold onto it for now ..."To prevent her from changing her mind, Kylan took the bracelet from her hand and put it on for her before she could even finish her sentence.Erin was completely unprepared as she watched the bracelet being put on her wrist. She was about to take it off, but the bracelet moved on its own!The bracelet rotated three times, and a row of fine
Half an hour later, Erin and her family arrived at the fish market. As she prepared to unfasten her seatbelt, Chandler leaned in and whispered, "Wifey, I'll give you a hand ..."Suddenly, his gaze locked onto something, and his smile transformed into a smirk.Noticing the change in his demeanor, she looked out of the car window. There, she spotted two familiar figures strolling hand-in-hand towards the fish market.Asa was the first to gasp, "Mommy, isn't that Grandma and Aunt Yvette?"Chandler let out a derisive snort and averted his eyes from them. He asked Erin, "So, are you still planning to buy your fish?""Why not?" she wondered.He stated, "You'd run into them if you went into the fish market.""Daddy, Mommy, let's buy the fish! I'll also greet Aunt Yvette!" Asa suggested.Erin turned to him cautiously, "Asa, you know we still have issues with your Aunt Yvette. She's using a new identity now, so you shouldn't expose her by using her real name.""Don't worry, Mommy and D
Two hours later, Yvette and Cherry sat down for dinner at Chandler's villa. Chandler retreated to his study after preparing the meal.Yvette was a little affected by his exit, but she maintained a smile that was devoid of warmth.Erin extended an apology to Cherry, who sat across from her, "I'm sorry, Mom. Please don't blame Chandler for this. He's been dealing with some urgent business matters these past few days. Otherwise, Mr. Morn wouldn't have interrupted him during dinner.""Erin, it's alright. Work is indeed important. Shall we begin?" Cherry replied, understanding that expecting Chandler to dine with Yvette was a bit much.The clever Asa stepped in to defuse the tension by presenting Cherry with a bottle of fruit juice. He said with a cheerful smile, "Grandma, if Daddy isn't joining, that only means more food for us! I'll pour you some juice.""Sure, I'll have some. Thank you, Asa," Cherry replied and pushed her glass closer to the edge of the table.Yvette's gaze settled
Yvette paused, shocked at the sound of Chandler's voice. She turned around and stared at his stunning face. Despite her lingering resentment, her heart quickened at the sight of him.At that moment, she was transported back in time, reminiscing about her initial visit to the villa with Cherry to see baby Asa. Back then, life had been lovely and peaceful.Even though Ian had cheated on her during that period, her relationships with both Chandler and her family had been harmonious. Everything had changed with Erin's return."Ms. Geller, I can send you home if you have something urgent on," he offered, walking up to her with a calm look. Not only was Yvette shocked by his change, Erin was puzzled by his sudden decision.Yet, she quickly deduced his motives; after all, he was her husband. Chandler must have realized he had been openly alienating Yvette and wanted to make amends. He had compromised out of love for Erin, who was deeply moved by his sentiment.He chuckled at the sigh
"Don't worry about that. When you call Dad later, tell him that you'll send someone to take care of it, but do not let him know that Chandler and I are helping out. We have to take care of his feelings."Cherry couldn't help but laugh at herself in the face of Erin's thoughtfulness."Your dad and I, we were foolish, weren't we? Why did we insist on you divorcing Chandler and breaking up such a loving couple? In the end, we had to seek your help. Oh, we're truly ashamed…""Mom, what are you talking about? As family, we should support each other. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you and Dad ever need it—I'm always happy to be there for you. My only wish is for you and Dad to stay healthy, safe, and live a long life.""Well, as for the long life, let's see. My only wish is to remain healthy enough to babysit the twins for you. Raising two kids at once is quite challenging. I know you're well-off, but taking care of children yourself still beats hiring a nanny. Chandler and I helped rai
Samson's sarcastic tone snapped Yvette back to reality. She abruptly looked back, her eyes cold and indifferent."Yvette, why that look? Are you upset because I ruined Chandler's offer to accompany you upstairs?"Yvette entered the apartment building and said in an indifferent tone, "You're overthinking it ..."Samson gazed at her graceful figure and asked, "Did I really overthink it?"Wearing a blank expression, Yvette stayed quiet as she waited for the elevator.Even in front of Samson, she thought she hadn't shown much, but deep down, Yvette admitted that tonight had left her feeling a bit confused.The following day, at 9:00 am, Erin arrived at Simon's law firm. She brought all the case files regarding her father, Steven, to inquire if his current status in the country was legal.Simon sat in a swivel chair, deeply engrossed in the documents for an entire hour. His expression was serious and focused, unlike his usual casual and aloof demeanor while working.Ten minutes late
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
