The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1841

Larkin was taken aback for a moment.

To be honest, this was the first time since Larkin and Erica got hitched that someone had nudged them about having kids.

The people in the Carter family didn't particularly give a hoot about carrying on the family line.

If they wanted kids, they'd have them. If not, nobody was breathing down their necks about it.

"We just got married, me and Erica. We haven't planned on having kids yet," Larkin replied sincerely.

The Prior was taken aback for a moment, then his face turned red.

"I'm not trying to rush you guys into having kids, I...what I meant was..." The Prior stuttered, then slapped his thigh, "I meant to ask, would you be willing to take Mary with you?"

Larkin was taken aback. "Take Mary?"

"Yes! Ever since you guys visited last time, Mary's been missing her mom. You know, her parents passed away when she was just a baby... she's never seen her mom, I don't know what she's thinking." The Prior sighed, "I think maybe it's because Ms. Lawrence is such a nice lady... she really likes Ms. Lawrence."

"I get it," Larkin replied with his usual calmness, "I can't make this decision alone, I'll go back and discuss it with Erica."

"Alright," The Prior said, looking somewhat downcast, "I know this is sudden, but..."

"Don’t worry," Larkin patted The Prior on the shoulder, "I get your drift."

The Prior glanced at Larkin, responding solemnly, "You go rest, the Abbot said you can't skip your morning sermon, come back here after you finish it tomorrow."

"Alright."

The Prior paused, then added, "The Abbot also said, if Ms. Lawrence agrees, she can come too."

Larkin's eyes lit up at once, "Great! Erica will be thrilled, I'm sure she will!"

"Then you should head back, I'm off."

The Prior waved his hand and walked away.

Larkin didn't tell Erica right away that the Abbot had agreed to meet her.

Knowing his wife's temperament, if she knew in advance, she'd be too excited to sleep tonight.
