The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1709

What neither Erica nor the young nun saw coming was ,the veteran monk was supporting the old monk, and they had watched their whole ice cream sneaking operation.

The old monk chuckled all of a sudden.

"Yes."

The veteran mink had a deep respect for the old monk, ready to respond to his every move.

The old monk's gaze followed the direction Erica had left in.

When his eyes returned, he seemed even more silent.

Then he turned, rather shakily, and started towards the stairs.

Erica had no idea she was such a thorn in the veteran monk's side.

She happily found Larkin, who was being dragged into a conversation.

Seeing Erica, Larkin excused himself and joined her.

"What have you been doing with the young nun? You look so happy," Larkin said, plucking a stray twig from her hair.

Erica laughed sweetly. "I'm not happy playing with the young nun, it's seeing you that makes me happy!"

Larkin's eyes crinkled into crescents.

"Did you sneak some ice cream?"

Erica asked, "how do you know that?"

She touched her lips, no longer cold.

"How did you know?" Not denying it, Erica twiddled her fingers, asking in a small voice like a little kids caught doing something wrong.
