The Secret Heir Return To Wealth And Love novel Chapter 1825

Erica quietly told herself, "You gotta hold on tight to Larkin. You can't let down his full-on devotion to you."
After lunch, Erica and Larkin didn't rush off for a nap. Instead, they helped the Lay Sisters and Brothers clean the dining hall, then headed off to the main hall. Finally, they grabbed their stuff and each headed to their own quarters.
Just as Erica had settled in, the little nun Mary came to hang out with her. Erica took Mary along, bought another ice cream, and they sat on the same steps as last time.
"Did Abbot have any reaction after we left last time?" Erica asked in a low voice.
Mary shot Erica a cautious look, "You don't think an ice cream can buy me off to betray Abbot, do you?"
"I'm trying to make peace between Larkin and Abbot. How could that be betrayal?" Erica answered seriously, "Can't you see that Abbot misses Larkin too?"
Mary pondered for a moment, she knew Abbot missed Larkin.
Last time, when Larkin came back, Abbot immediately asked her to sort out all the scriptures handwritten by Larkin.
Also, when Larkin and Erica left, Abbot actually came out to see them off.
"He didn't have any special reaction." Mary said truthfully, "But when you guys left, he did come out to take a glance."
Erica was surprised, "Did we leave too early then?"
Mary was taken aback.
"No matter how late you guys leave, Abbot would just take a distant look. You get what I mean?" Mary said.
Erica suddenly lost her energy.
While eating her ice cream, Mary said, "If you guys come a few more times, and if your intentions are sincere, you'll definitely win him over. You get what I mean?"
"Oh, you can say such profound things? I thought you were an uneducated nun." Erica teased.
"Even though I didn't go to school, I've read all the scriptures and books in the monastery!" Mary said proudly, "And I heard from the Sisters that there are many words in the Bible you don't know and you have to ask them!"
Erica said, "What!"
These Sisters really spill everything to the kid!
"The words in your Bible, many are really obscure!" Erica defended herself.
What she didn't say was...
Before dating Jacob, she had trouble reading. It was only later that she learned to read for the sake of love.
"Anyway, I'm better than you!" Mary said, looking both composed and proud.
Erica was amused and laughed.
Hearing her laughter, Mary quickly looked over, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing because you're super adorable!" Erica pinched Mary's cheek.
Mary looked at Erica, stunned.
She had dreamed of her mother.
She couldn't see her mother's face clearly, but her mother should be just like this, smiling so beautifully in the sunshine.
"Is there something wrong?" Erica saw Mary suddenly freeze.
She withdrew her teasing hand, and asked somewhat awkwardly, "Did I hurt you?"
Mary turned her head, looking at a small sparrow on the ground pecking at food, and muttered, "I'm okay."
