The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1804

Larkin was aware of why Rosalynn came back to H City.

She returned after dealing with Jacob’s stuff, bringing back a kitten. The origin of the kitten wasn't hard to guess.

Erica dropped her gaze.

She sat next to Larkin and said, “When I was a kid, I always wanted a kitten of my own, but...my dad’s wife was scared of animals with fur. When I grew up, life was tough, and I didn’t want a kitten to suffer, so I just fed strays and donated some money now and then. A couple years ago, I thought Jacob and I were going to settle down, and I started wanting a kitten again…”

While talking, Erica suddenly realized she was losing her composure. She looked up, her eyes lost in thought, “Why did he get this kitten and then leave it to me? Why do I have to accept what he left behind?”

“It’s because you respect him.” Larkin explained, “Just like how you like this kitten but you didn’t immediately take it home. You wanted to discuss it with me. You respect me too.”

Erica felt as if she was splashed with cool mountain spring water. All her confusion and irritation disappeared.

“Is that so?”

She wasn't trying to please Jacob or feeling inferior.

She respected Jacob!

“Absolutely.” Larkin patted her head lightly, his half-closed eyes hiding the pity for Erica, “So, did you figure out how to convince me after pondering it all morning?”

Erica instantly sat up straight.

She told Larkin what she had discussed with Rosalynn.

After hearing it, Larkin laughed out loud.

"So that's it. Jacob didn't actually like cats. He complained about them shedding fur and how their poop smelled bad. But cats are supposed to shed and everyone poops, right? He chose a kitten because of me, so this kitten is actually meant for me!"

Larkin was still laughing.

Erica lunged at him, pinching his cheeks, “Stop laughing! Are you going to let me keep it or not? Tell me now!”

Larkin grabbed Erica’s hands, still laughing, “Of course I’ll let you keep it. It was separated from its mom so young and went through so much to find you. How could we not keep it?”

Erica’s eyes sparkled.

Once Larkin said this, she loved the kitten even more!

“Really?” she asked.

Larkin nodded.
