The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love novel Chapter 1666

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. 

Orval 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 got 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.
