Paige quickly replied, “This photo is so cute, like she just walked out of a cartoon.”
Enca chuckled, “That’s the nun, Sister Mary, I mentioned before.”
Paige, who recently became a mom, was brimming with maternal love. She immediately replied with a teary-eyed emoji, “She’s so adorable! If her parents were still around, they’d spoil her rotten!”
Erica read the message then glanced back at Mary
“Is there something on my face?”
Erica shook her head and continued chatting with Paige for a bit.
It was a Monday in the middle of the month.
Rosalynn was probably in a remote video conference.
Jered Ventures was in the midst of negotiating a massive acquisition deal, and she needed to help brainstorm solutions.
After breakfast, Mary started to get busier
Erica didn’t bother her finding a quiet, brightly lit spot that wasn’t directly in the sun.
Slowly, she started to go over the accounts from several stores for the past half month.
The accounts were numerous and complicated, she dived in headfirst and lost track of time
By the time Larkin woke up, it was already noon,
There was a monk in the room reading the scriptures
Seeing another monk, Larkin knew Enca wasn’t there.
She seemed carefree, but was actually very polite and orderly.
Her not being there with him was to be expected
The monastery was big, but it wouldn’t be hard for Larkin to find Erica.
She didn’t like dark places, direct sunlight, or crowds.
After he woke up, finding her would be a breeze.
Larkin left his quarters, went around the back, and through a deserted path. Underneath a large tree in a rest area, he found Erica going through the accounts.
Larkin had faith since he was young.
He firmly believed in reincarnation and karma.
He was certain that he and Erica had deep entanglements in countless past lives.
Or perhaps, they were originally a complete person that split into two separate but incomplete souls after experiencing various things.
Only by encountering each other again in the cycle of reincamation, and having each other again, could their lives and souls be complete
Therefore, Erica could heal him.
Even just by looking at her, his inner anxiety could be calmed.
While Erica was going through the accounts, she noticed some discrepancies in a store’s records.
As she was pondering over it, she looked up and saw Larkin:
The trouble on her face instantly vanished and she squinted her eyes, smiling.
Larkin also walked towards her with a smile.
“How did you know I was here? Erica looked up at Larkin and asked softly.
Larkin gently stroked her cheek, “If I can’t find my wife, I’m not a good husband, right?”
“Are you hungry?” Erica glanced at the time, “It’s already this late? You must be starving you didn’t even have breakfast!”
She stood up, taking Larkin’s hand, “Come on, let’s go to the cafeteria!”
Larkin didn’t move.
Instead, he pulled Enca back.
Enca lost herbalance and grabbed onto Larkin’s waist to steady herself. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“What’s up?”
“We’re not going to the cafeteria Larkin reached up, removing a small dead twig that had fallen into her hair, “The Prior is cooking. We’ll eat there.”
