The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1690

Erica waved at Jacob.

Jacob's face was filled with an unmistakable sense of loss.

He nodded.

Erica responded to his nod, then got up and left, without a hug or any overly emotional words.

All the words she wanted to say to Jacob, she had said in the past sixteen years.

Lenora had just sat down,

when she saw Erica coming out.

"You're out so fast? You should've talked more with Jacob!" Lenora immediately stood up.

"Don't worry, Jacob will be just fine." Erica paused, then said very seriously, "Mrs. Strand, I know you might not want to hear this, but I have to ask you, stop trying to control Jacob's life. Yes, he's your son, but he's also his own person. Have you ever thought about it, if he didn't love you, would he believe your fake illnesses every time? I hope you can respect him."

Having said that, Erica had no intention of waiting for Lenora's response.

She passed by Lenora and headed towards Rosalynn who was waiting for her.

The sun set once again.

Rosalynn asked Erica, "Did he agree to end things between you two?"

"Yep." Erica exhaled a sigh of relief, "Rosalynn, it's funny how things work out. I used to imagine our tragic ending and then find a better guy to make Jacob regret. I even naively hoped that Jacob would live in the pain of not having me forever. But now, I really hope that Jacob meets his true love soon and doesn't live in our past forever."

"That's because you're kind." Rosalynn said gently.
