Juliet clearly moved a little upon hearing Erin's words.She stared at Erin for a minute before she said, "You're wrong."Her voice sounded calm and steady, but Erin smiled and said, "Is that so? Even if I made the wrong guess, shouldn't you take off your mask to prove that I'm wrong?"Juliet sneered and said, "There's no need for me to lie to you.""Since you think you didn't lie to me, why don't you dare to take off your mask? Are you trying to go back on your word and not admit it?" Erin said while staring into Juliet's eyes with a frosty gaze.Juliet burst out laughing after hearing her words. It was unclear why she was laughing on purpose. Judging from the way her back looked after she turned around, it seemed that she was truly thinking of backing out of her promise.Seeing that Juliet did not do as she promised, Erin mocked her, "You really are going back on your word! That makes sense too. How would a person like you keep her promise."Juliet suddenly turned around and b
Ryder hit the nail on the head. That was something Erin and her family must face at that moment."Let's leave this place and talk about it later." Chandler held Erin's head and walked out of the cabin. Erin walked behind him quietly. Then, one after another, everybody else walked out of the cabin as well.After they returned to the Maple Villa, Erin saw the Lehman sisters, who had been standing outside the villa all this while."Mrs. Frost!" Calla was emotional as she walked up to her and hugged her."What's the matter, Calla?" Erin asked."Candra and I wanted to go with them, but Mr. Frost told us to stay at the villa," Calla grumbled.Ryder smiled and said, "We're just catching a woman. There's no need to have so many people there. Besides, we have to have our people guarding the villa too.""Ryder's right. Where's Asa?" Erin asked.Candra immediately replied, "He's having tea with Mr. Blair."As soon as she said that, Roman walked out of the villa holding Asa's hand."Mo
Erin and her family left the Maple Villa early in the morning the following day. But Yvette had left in the middle of the night last night. She did not tell anybody when she left, not even Cherry.Hans gave Chandler a call when she left. Erin found out about it as well when she woke up in the middle of the night.But they chose to pretend that they had no clue.Erin said nothing on their way back to the city. Chandler was sitting next to her, but he had no idea what was on her mind. He pressed his hand gently on her pregnant belly and said, "Wifey, the babies will be sad too if you're in a bad mood."Erin turned to him and said calmly, "I'm not in a bad mood. I just don't feel like talking.""Listen to me, then," Chandler said.Erin did not object. She just listened to him quietly.Chandler said earnestly, "Yvette said she had given up on the idea of killing at the cabin, but she still shot you without hesitation. That showed how fake her words are. Do you think she would gi
Time flew by in a blink of an eye. Erin had been staying at home and hardly gone out ever since she came back from the Maple Villa. She was truly preparing for her delivery.That gave Chandler great peace of mind every day.To reward her, he brought her a gift every day after work. And he persisted until the week before Erin was due.After he got off work that day, Chandler went to the Frost residence. When he came out, he had Hans bring a big present into the car.Within an hour, Chandler got home to find Erin and Asa playing chess in the living room."Wifey, how do you still have the guts to play chess with Asa? Aren't you afraid of losing again?" Chandler took off his jacket while walking in.Standing behind him, Kyle took his jacket from him very naturally.Asa looked back at Chandler with a smile and said, "Daddy, Mommy has a strong heart. She won't admit defeat just because of a few words from you.""Well, you win some, you lose some. Besides, Asa defeated me with his cap
As soon as Chandler said that, Erin pulled his arm with great force. She pushed him toward the wall with her agile and strong hands, put one leg next to him, and pinned Chandler to the wall.Before he recovered from being shocked, Erin pinched his strong chin with a wicked grin on her face. "Mr. Frost, let's wait and see."Chandler's heart started to race. He was worried that she would pull her back earlier. After all, Erin had been supporting her back whenever she walked. But how could she suddenly move with such ease? It was as if she was carrying a fake pregnancy. Was that normal for a pregnant woman?"Hmph. I can tell from your eyes that you have loads of questions, so I'll tell you now." She had a slightly cunning gaze, but her tone was domineering.She looked like a queen as she said, "Don't think that a woman is useless as soon as she becomes pregnant. Don't think women are forever weak. Even if women can't compete with men's physical fitness by nature, they can become str
Chandler shook his head to deny it. "No, this is from my mother. She said she really wanted to come and visit you, but she just came yesterday. She said she was afraid you'd be annoyed by her frequent visits, so she asked me to hand this to you."Erin smiled helplessly and said, "Why would she think that? Why would I be annoyed? I'm staying home every day and have nothing to do.""She's just afraid you'll be exhausted. You've successfully acted as a 'normal', weak pregnant woman during this time. Of course, she'd feel you get tired easily and wanted you to have more rest." He did not look like he was blaming her. His eyes were only filled with a doting gaze."I'm sorry, Hubby. I didn't mean to lie to all of you," said Erin.He sat down on the couch with her and said with a serious expression, "I'm very glad that you lied to me. With your body's condition now, I believe your pain during labor would be greatly reduced."I heard the doctors say that some women would have a smooth del
Ryder's words made Erin fall silent as she gave it a thought for a moment.When she looked up at him again, she said firmly, "I believe Yvonne didn't lie to me. The paternity test is not done yet, but I'm sure that child is your daughter."The certainty in her eyes made Ryder's expression change a little. He seemed surprised, but he also felt lost.His reaction was what Chandler had expected."Ryder, if you're not prepared to be a father, I advise you not to go see Yvonne and her daughter without giving it a thought."Erin agreed with Chandler. In a serious tone, she said, "Chandler's advice is my advice to you too. I really think Yvonne is a nice person after I've gotten to know her. She's very responsible for her child. She's a good mother. "She even gave up on her love life in the past five years to channel more energy into taking care of her daughter. She never had a boyfriend ever since she got pregnant."What she said made Ryder chuckle. "Didn't you say that Yvonne still
At 1:00 pm the following day, Chandler and Kyle had a video conference in the study while Erin entertained a hairstylist she booked online.The hairstylist was incredibly excited, but she did not dare to look around after Candra brought her into Erin's bedroom. She looked like she was in her early 20s, but she already styled the hair of more than 1000 expectant mothers.Erin got up from the couch and walked up to her. With her right hand extended, she smiled and said, "Hello, Suzanne.""H-hello, Mrs. Frost," said Suzanne, the hairstylist."Suzanne, your voice is shaking a little. Are you feeling unwell?" Erin asked with concern.Suzanne quickly waved and said, "No, no! Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Frost."There was a pause before she said, "To be honest with you, I feel a little nervous seeing you.""Why do you feel nervous?" Erin asked."Because I'm your diehard fan!" Suzanne looked like she could not control herself anymore upon saying that. She quickly pulled out a DVD a
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
