Erin couldn't believe that the woman named Queenie was someone she had met before. Although it was a brief encounter, it left a strong impression on Erin.Queenie had a dangerous look about her. She was incredibly beautiful and attractive. She had naturally tanned skin. Her exotic appearance made her look like she was multiracial.Her eyes were very charming, and she looked like someone who had experienced much in life."Erin, you've been gawking at Queenie. Do you know her?" asked Simon.Simon's voice brought Erin back to her senses.Erin said with an apologetic smile, "Sorry. Your girlfriend is too gorgeous! I couldn't tear my eyes away from her."Her words didn't fool Simon and Chandler. They knew her too well. Erin wasn't good at concealing her true thoughts in front of her family. The only exception was when she was purposefully acting from the beginning.Chandler changed the subject and suggested, "Let's get seated first.""Yes." Simon pulled out a chair for Queenie.Que
Upon returning home, Chandler and Erin personally tended to Enny until dawn. When they tested Enny's temperature again at 6:00 am, her fever had finally subsided.Both husband and wife breathed a sigh of relief. They had no problems enduring the physical exhaustion of caring for their child. The inner turmoil that they felt was the true torture.Under Calla and Candra's strong insistence for them to get some rest, Erin and Chandler finally returned to their bedroom to sleep.Enny and Eddie were taken back to their rooms to avoid disrupting their parents' rest. They were put in their respective rooms to avoid cross-infection.Calla and Candra each took care of one child. Four excellent live-in nannies assisted them.This was the advantage of being wealthy. Chandler and Erin could hire exceptional people to help them solve trivial problems in life. For instance, hiring four nannies meant they didn't have to handle everything themselves, thus saving them time and energy. These na
Erin was shocked to hear that. "Is he injured?""He's okay. It's just a scrape.""Louis, where do you live? I'll pick him up and bring something to help with the hangover," Erin said."I live near your place. It's in a newly developed neighborhood. The address is ..."After he finished speaking, Erin hung up.She went to the kitchen and asked Trent to have the chef prepare some tomato juice. That was Chandler's exclusive remedy for hangovers. After drinking it, one could feel much better.Erin left with the tomato juice after giving Calla and Candra some instructions.Shortly after, Erin arrived at Louis' new apartment. Coincidentally, as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Aletia entering the door code while holding a packet of fruits.As the door opened, Louis glanced toward it. He looked at Aletia, then at Erin. The smile on his face made Aletia turn around instantly.Erin smiled awkwardly and said, "Hi, Aletia. Nice new place you have here. Sorry, I came over uninvite
Louis lit up a cigarette. He took a few puffs before saying, "Maybe I could have avoided this if I had investigated when I first met her. Too bad I never expected she would be the one. It was already too late once everything was decided."Her brows scrunched up, Erin commented, "You didn't expect her to fall in love with you so quickly.""Indeed. It was something I could not predict," he replied.Louis felt as if he hadn't expressed it clearly enough. He added, "Sometimes, I feel like she doesn't truly love me …""What do you mean?" Erin confusedly asked.Louis continued smoking, frustrated. "Maybe she just wanted to marry someone, and I just happened to be that person.""I don't think you're being sensitive, Louis. If you could sense that Aletia had something on her mind, then chances are—she has some mental issues."At the very least, she's neither rational nor calm when handling relationship problems. Her attitude toward me proves it. I suspect she got cheated on in her past
Erin felt sad seeing Gavin cry.She gently stroked his hair and asked softly, "Who did Wilma fall in love with?""It's someone you know!"Erin frowned upon hearing that."Who is it?" she asked.Gavin looked up and sniffled. "It's Niall! That bastard!"Niall …He had long moved to Emstia. They never even said goodbye before he left as Niall refused to tell her his flight details. Just like she did, Niall disliked goodbyes. She understood that and didn't insist on seeing him off. "Didn't Niall move to Emstia a long time ago? I've lost touch with him since. How did they end up together?" Erin questioned doubtfully.Gavin wiped his tears with his sleeves and sat up. He then grabbed a lighter and cigarette from the table. Louis returned with a cup of water and placed it on the living room table."Thank you, mentor," Gavin said with gratitude.Gavin had previously studied gambling skills from Louis. Although he later gave up, he still addressed Louis as his mentor. "You'r
Before Erin left, Gavin gave her the address of the nursing home where Niall was staying.Gavin stayed for dinner to show appreciation for Louis' kindness.Erin was wearing sunglasses as she went downstairs. When she was just about to walk out of the neighborhood to hail a taxi, she saw a familiar Maybach.She quickly ran over and got in the passenger seat."Hubby!"She froze after seeing who was in the driver's seat.Simon said playfully, "It felt as if I took advantage of you.""Why are you here, Simon?" she asked."Chandler is looking after Enny and Eddie at home. He knew you were coming to pick up Gavin, so I came to pick you up on his behalf."Erin fastened her seatbelt thoughtfully as Simon drove out of the area.Once they were on the road, she asked, "You have something to tell me, don't you? Which is why you came to pick me up."He took a glance at her and said, "You're quite quick-witted, I must say.""You could've just called me instead of coming all the way here.
What? Kneel down and apologize?Erin glanced at the arrogant Faye. Faye was banging on their car door. Simon said in a deep voice, "Don't open the door! I'll go down and talk to her!"She smirked and said, "Great. I don't want to deal with such a spoiled brat either!"It was a situation for lawyers to handle."Erin, you coward! Get out of the car right now!"Faye kept on cursing, but Erin just ignored her. She took her phone out and texted Chandler that she would be late.The second Simon got out, Erin pulled the door so Faye couldn't open it.Simon then locked the door after getting out."What are you doing? Why are you protecting her? Get Erin out of the car at once!""The traffic police will arrive soon, Ms. Lund. They will take care of this. If you insist on creating a scene, you'll receive a letter from our lawyer."Faye stared at the man in front of her, who looked cool and handsome. He appeared to be quite intimidating when he was serious, a true lawyer indeed.Fa
Half an hour later, Simon woke up in the passenger seat.He frowned as he reached for the back of his head, which was slightly swollen. He let out a cold gasp as the pain tingled his nerves.Erin glanced at him and asked, "How are you feeling? I'll take you to the hospital first.""No need for that! Where's that bastard?" he was furious.She replied, "He got away. You were left unconscious in the corridor when I found you."Simon was worried. "Queenie has been kidnapped! Let's call the police!""Do you really think the police will help find her?" Erin asked.Simon was silent."Let's just do this our way. You might not know who they are, but I do. "Calix told me Elliot and Theodore were well-known among the tomb raiders for their craziness! "They could go without water for five days just to steal things from the tomb."Last time, they went to the village to steal the flying elephant statuette! I just don't understand. Why would they kidnap Queenie when all this time, they w
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
