The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love Chapter 1602

Chapter 1602 

Erica bumped into Larkin again, a full decade and a bit after their last encounter. 

Just the day before, Jacob’s meddlesome mum had sought her out, making a brish proposal to buy her off, to make her leave Jacob alone. She was all like, “Over my dead body will I let my son be with an unsuitable girl like you. Marrying you? Not on my watch” 

She threatened to kill herself right in front of Jacob if he insisted on marrying Erica 

Not exactly Mother of the Year material, that one 

If Erica had been the type to bend over backwards to please others, how would her old man have ditched her in the first place? 

So she butted heads with Jacob’s mum big time 

When Jacob showed up, his mum started playing sick. And then, as predictable as a bad sitcom, no matter who was right or wrong, Jacob would always pin the blame on Erica 

She was heartbroken packed her things and headed to H Country 

The very next day, she was on a cruise ship and ran into Larkin again. 

She was lost in thought, and bumped into someone on the deck 

“Erica?” The person recognized her, looking stunned, and started hollering, Larkin, Larkin, get over here!” 

Erica was totally confused. 

Honestly, she had even crossed swords with Wayne, so the list of people she’d pissed off was probably very long 

She figured this was just another casualty of her past catching up to her 

She tried to run away, I’m not Erica, you’ve got the wrong person!” 

But the guy didn’t let her. He grabbed her arm, “You totally are! No matter how much you’ve changed, I’d recognize you right away! Larkin Get over here” Erica was feeling pretty low, what with her recent heartbreak and now running into an old enemy 

Could her luck get any worse? 

While she was wallowing in self–pity, a tall figure appeared 

Erica stared blankly at him, finding him vaguely familiar but couldn’t put her finger on where she knew him from 

“Orval Carter,” he said, his voice soft yet commanding 

The man clutching Erica’s arm promptly let go, then pointed at Erica, “Erica. 

Larkin looked at Enca, his handsome eyes calm and composed, “Ms. Lawrence, Jong time no see, how have you been?” 

“Orval?” Erica turned to look at the man in the impeccable suit with a traditional haircut next to her, the gears in her memory finally clicking into place. “Orval? Were we almost engaged before?” 

“You finally remember me, what an honor!” Orval mumbled, his tone a bit ironic, 

“No, I mean, it was me who didn’t want to get engaged, but these things are supposed to be mutual, right? You’re not about to make a scene here, are you?” Erica asked in a hushed voice. 

“Don’t be ridiculous! I was originally in talks to marry you, but then my family decided my uncle should marry you instead!!” Orval quickly corrected her. 

“Your uncle, isn’t he a monk?” Erica blurted out, then a memory suddenly hit her. A face full of divine aura flashed in her mind, and she looked at Larkin sitting opposite her in shock. 

The stern face in front of her slowly overlapped with the divine face in her memory 

“Oh my God 

Erica covered her mouth, her eyes filled with fear and confusion. 

“You’ve left the monastery?” Erica finally managed to spit out the question after a long while 

“Mm–hmm,” Larkin nodded 

Erica awkwardly laughed. 

It’s normal for a monk to leave the monastery 

It’s definitely not because of that artificial respiration! That was a lifesaving measure! 

Saving a life is commendable! 

God wouldn’t blame him, he couldn’t have left the monastery over this, there are too many temptations in the world, it can’t just be because of an artificial 

respiration! 

“Right, well, I think I left something in my room, so I better go. See you around–Bye now-
