Chapter 1666
Kelly’s eyes popped out of her head.
“Kick the Shields family out and if they show up again, shoo them away. No need to inform me Erica said, turning to
Larkin, “Let’s go.” Larkin nodded.
“Erica!” Calvert called out frantically. “Talk to me. Just the two of us.”
Erica looked at Calvert.
Once upon a time, he treated her as his daughter.
But…
Erica shook her head, “No need.”
With that, Erica ignored Calvert, grabbed Larkin’s hand, and left the hall.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOrval stayed. Arms folded, he ordered the guards and servants to escort the Shields family out
Erica looked down at her toes, “Kelly wasn’t lying earlier. When I was little, I did lie to others, saying that I was her
mom’s biological daughter”
If there was one thing Erica felt most guilty about towards her mother, it would be that.
When Erica was three, her mother suffered from severe depression and could no longer take care of her
Her mother entrusted her to the Shields family, while she went for treatment, only seeing her once a month. The
incident happened a month before Erica’s mother passed away
At school, a kid bullied Erica, calling her a bastard
Erica was scared, so the lie just slipped out.
From that day on, when Erica saw her mother again, all that was left of her was her ashes, no words left behind.
Even now, whenever Erica thought about it, she firmly believed that her mother’s death was the result of her lie
“I used to tell lies when I was a kid, too.” Larkin said, looking at her
Erica was immediately distracted, “Weren’t you a monk when you were young? Monks tell lies?”
“I was a monk, but I was also a kid. “Larkin laughed, “I used to hate veggies. But there was a period when every
meal had veggies. So I would secretly throw them away and lied to my teacher that I finished them. About a week
later, my lie was exposed. I got my hands spanked and had to kneel.” “That’s adorable. Erica imagined the scene
She had seen photos of Larkin as a child in an album. The difference between him as a child and him as an adult
was striking.
He was chubby and super cute.
Imagining him with teary eyes after getting his hands spanked made him even cuter
“Another time.” Larkin continued, seeing that Erica enjoyed his stories, “It was too cold in the winter and I didn’t
want to get up. So I lied that I was sick My teacher asked what was wrong with me, I said I felt unwell all over. He
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmgot so scared that he carried me down the mountain to see a doctor. When the results showed nothing was wrong
with me, my teacher spanked me again. I also had to sweep the courtyard for three months.”
“That’s a heavy punishment?”
“Mhm” Larkin nodded.
Erica locked at him, sensing loneliness from him.
“Did your teacher get mad when you quit being a monk? Did he hit you?” Enca asked.
Larkin obviously didn’t expect Erica to ask that. He subconsciously squeezed her hand, “My teacher is a wise man.
He asked why I wanted to leave. I told him I understood love. He had me kneel for three days, then agreed.”
“Does he know about our marriage?” Erica didn’t see any monks at their wedding.
Larkin shook his head.
“When I left, my teacher told me to not return or contact him now that I’m back to worldly life.”
Tears welled up in Larkin’s eyes.
He followed his teacher since he was three until he became an adult.
To him, his teacher was like his parent
