The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1605

Just as she sat down, someone came over.

Without even lifting her eyes, she caught a familiar scent.

It was Larkin.

"What are you doing here?" Erica didn't look at him, lacking her previous warmth, she spoke coldly.

Larkin frowned, squatting down in front of her: "Orval said you're leaving at the next port?"

"Mhm." Erica responded, still detached and without any excess words.

"Where are you going after you leave?" Larkin continued to ask.

"Mr. Larkin, I don't think this is any of your business." Erica never looked at Larkin. "I want to be alone. Can you go somewhere else?"

"Are you going to look for Jacob?" Larkin's handsome eyebrows furrowed, and the hand resting on the armrest of the recliner tightened slightly.

"So you think I can't make it without a man, huh?" Erica finally looked at Larkin.

Larkin's eyes were crystal clear.

He was taken aback, then furrowed his eyebrows: "have you been mad these past few days because of this? You think I care about those rumors?"

"You don't care?" Erica's voice was laced with sarcasm. "If you don't care, why did Orval come to scold me? What's this about you waiting for me for ten years? Did I know? Did I even know you existed? And he was saying my reputation is bad? Well, if your reputation is good, if you're noble, wouldn't it be better if I stayed away from you?"

Larkin's face was pale, obviously angry: "Erica, can you please talk to me properly?"

"No!" Erica didn't think twice, she fired back instantly.

Larkin took a few deep breaths, then looked at her seriously: "Erica, proving who loves you and who will never leave you is not done by constantly pushing them away! I don't need you to push me away, or leave and come back over and over!"

Erica was stunned as he hit a nerve.

She looked at Larkin, her eyes slowly reddening.
