The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1604

Erica made up her mind.

She decided to swallow her pride and stubbornness, ending her decade-long entanglement with Jacob, hoping to achieve what she wanted.

But... things didn't turn out as expected.

She'd been gone for half a month and Jacob totally had ways to contact her.

She never deliberately stopped him from finding her.

But Larkin had the servants bring her favorite foods for every meal.

This went on for two days.

He started being a monk at the age of three and is now a very prestigious one! All these years, he never glanced at any woman arranged for him by his family, knowing you were taken, he never bothered you! You were with Jacob for ten years, and Larkin waited for you for ten years! Even I already got married and had kids..."
