The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2124

Larkin chuckled as he gently patted his wife's back. "You know, when you're perched too high up, it's easy to lose sight of what's right in front of you. Sometimes, you gotta hit rock bottom to really see clearly what's good and what's not."

He paused for a beat before adding, "As for Mrs. Strand, hitting rock bottom has finally made her realize your worth. I guess that's what you call a rude awakening."

"Really now?" Erica said with a twinkle in her eye, "You sure have a funny way of complimenting your wife. I'm not all that."

"Are you kidding? My wife is the best in the whole wide world!" The two of them were disgustingly sweet together.

Just then, little Ivy emerged from her room, having overheard the affectionate exchange.

Seeing another couple so deeply in love made her heart sink. Back when her dad was around, he was like her mommy’s shadow, always sticking close to her mom, sometimes even more clingy than she was...d2

But now, her mom must be feeling so lonely all by herself.

With a heavy heart and determined spirit, Ivy decided she would sleep with her mom tonight!

And just like that, after Rosalynn had finished her nightly routine and slipped into her pajamas, she found the little girl sitting neatly on her bed.

"Whose little darling is this, sitting on my bed?" Rosalynn teased as she approached Ivy.

"It's your darling!" Ivy nodded earnestly. "Mommy, it's gotten cold and and I can't seem to stay warm at night. Can I sleep with you tonight?"

"But you know Mommy wakes up really early, right?"

"That's okay, nothing wakes me up once I'm asleep. Not even thunder!"
