This little furball has already forgotten about its dad and comfortably settled down here.
After Rosalynn finished her breakfast, Erica Shields showed up.
"Has Shawn gone nuts?" Erica asked, plopping down on the couch with a puzzled look on her face.
"Why, has he been bothering you?" Rosalynn thought to herself, if Shawn dared to harass Erica again, he'd be asking for trouble.
"He sent me an apology letter that's a few thousand words long." Erica said, looking disgusted as if she'd swallowed a fly.
"Um..." Rosalynn didn't know what to say.
"I've made it clear, I don't need his apology, I just want these crazy people to leave me alone!" Erica fumed, "He even said he'd treat us to dinner once me and Larkin arrive in H City, and apologize to us in person. What the hell has Larkin done wrong? Why should we have to put up with the torture of eating with him?!"
"That winter, the sea was pretty cold, wasn't it?" Rosalynn suddenly asked.
Erica was taken aback for a second, then hung her head low.
"It was cold, I even suspect that my knee aches whenever the weather changes because I spent too long in the icy sea that night." Erica said with a disgusted frown, "To be honest, I really think that asshole Shawn wanted me to drown! If he couldn't have me, then he'd rather I die! What a joke!"
Rosalynn was a bit helpless.
Erica always had this way of turning a heart-wrenching event into a light-hearted joke with just a few words.
"From what I gathered, Shawn took quite a hit this time." Rosalynn paused, "He was even exposed by Jacob in person, his wife looks a lot like the woman he truly loves."
Erica's eyes widened in surprise and curiosity, "Who's the woman he truly loves? Is Shawn really that much of a jerk? I remember people saying his wife is super nice!"
Rosalynn gave Erica a helpless look.
Erica tilted her head in confusion, then seemed to realize, "Am I the woman he truly loves?"
"Who else could it be? Why would Jacob care otherwise?" Rosalynn replied with a smile.
Erica was shocked again, "That's impossible, that jerk made my life a living hell, and you're saying I'm the woman he truly loves? And he even found a wife who looks a lot like me? You're joking, right?"
"According to Jacob, all the girlfriends Shawn's ever had bear resemblance to you." Rosalynn explained.
Erica began biting her nails, seemingly scanning her memory.
"No way, I'm way prettier than them!" She said with absolute sincerity.
