The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love novel Chapter 1603

Chapter 1603 

Erica gave a wave and then took off. 

She’d booked a cruise that was due to gatiivant around the sea for about a month. 

She’d managed to dodge for a couple of days, before inevitably bumping into Larkin Carter again. 

At first, they just had small talks, but it turned out that Larkin was a real hoot. He wasn’t much of a talker, but every word that came out of his mouth hit Erica right in the feels. 

About half a month later, they were very close as friends. Unable to keep it to herself any longer, Erica finally voiced the question that had been gnawing at her since their reunion, “Larkin, when did you chuck in the towel on being a monk? And why?” 

Larkin east her a glance. 

“It’s been quite a while, probably ten years Because i was swept off my feet by a woman” He said it with his usual coolness, as if him giving up monkhood for a woman had nothing to do with Erica” 

“You, swept off your feet by a woman? She must be something else, huh?” Erica blurted out without thinking. 

Larkin looked at her, in my eyes, she was indeed something else. Enough to make me give up everything, to even fight with my own family. But unfortunately, she was already taken, and in the end, I didn’t win her over” 

His tone was unmistakably barbed. 

Erica was stunned.

“You got swept off your feet… by me? all because of the time you saved me? Erica continued. 

‘Yes‘ 

Erica was totally shocked 

So much for the innocent monk 

“This is all my fault Erica slapped her forehead, if I hadn’t been drowning back then, you wouldn’t have given up being a monk?” 

Larkin’s gaze drifted away. 

The sky was full of clouds, incredibly beautiful, with the sun almost completely set. 

Erica thought that would be the end of this topic, since it was something from ten years ago. 

Given Larkin’s looks, demeanor, and family background, it was likely he’d already found someone. 

At this thought, Erica felt a twinge of annoyance. 

She should’ve asked Larkin earlier if he was married or had a partner, if he had, 

There was really no need for all these chats over the past few days. 

“Erica, it’s been ten years. Have you fulfilled your dream?” Just as Erica thought they were done with this topic, Larkin suddenly dropped another question 

Erica stiffened, “Do I look like I’ve fulfilled my dream?” 

“Are you going to keep at it? Larkin continued
