The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1717

After getting back to the monastery, the old monk was all over the place.

He started confessing sins like there's no tomorrow.

The old monk can't get Larkin's confession out of his head. Those wicked thoughts that made Larkin unable to stick around the monastery, that filled his heart with doubts and anger.

Larkin had always been a well-behaved kid.

But only the old monk knew how stubborn he was deep down.

Once he'd made up his mind on something, he was as solid as a rock.

No matter what the old monk said, he couldn't sway him.

So he just gave up.

He just cut the cord between them, ending their teacher-student relationship.

He let Larkin live the life he wanted.

The old monk stayed in the monastery, confessing for both Larkin and himself.

In a blink of an eye, a decade passed.

And out of nowhere, Larkin's back.

But the old monk was full of worries.

He's scared he won't be able to accept Larkin, who no longer belonged here.

There was this one thing the old monk couldn't let go of, no matter what.

He knew that some things were just bound to happen.

He knew he couldn't change anything, couldn't change Larkin's mind.

The nun walked in with her head down.

Normally, the nun was scared to death of the head monk and the old monk.

But today... she just quietly asked if they were okay.

The head monk snapped her back to reality, "Were you daydreaming?"

The moment the nun looked at the head monk, all her pent-up frustrations were released and she burst into tears.

"What happened?"

The old monk quickly bent down to check on her.
