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?” Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
“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”
” get it,” Larkin replied with his usual calmness, 1 can’t make this decision alone, I’ll go back and discuss it with Erica”
“Alright,” The Prior said, looking somewhat downcast, 1 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.
Bright and early the next day.
Larkin was waiting outside Erica’s room for her.
When she came out, she looked like she was still half-asleep, wobbling slightly as she walked.
“Larkin, you’re here, said the nun sharing the room with Erica, greeting him warmly.
Erica looked up, thinking that Larkin had pulled another all-nighter with the Abbot, walked up to him and asked, “Didn’t you get any sleep again?”
“I did,” Larkin nodded with a smile, I’m here to take you to the morning sermon”
“Aren’t you going to your teacher?” Erica asked.
Larkin shook his head, “He said to go to the morning sermon first, and take you with me.”
“Oh, okay”
Erica nodded in a daze
She took Larkin’s hand and started walking towards the church where the sermon was held.
It took her a moment to react, then she turned around sharply, fully awake now, “Huh?”
Seeing Erica’s cute reaction, Larkin’s already bright mood became even brighter.
“What?” He laughed, mimicking Erica’s expression, “Don’t want to go?”
“I do” Erica immediately nodded, then, not caring about the people passing by, she hugged Larkin, Tm so happy! Really, so happy!”
Larkin smiled, apologizing to the people passing by
He put an arm around Erica’s waist
“Darr, I cant believe I’m going to see your teacher this soon! I didn’t even prepare a gifte
Last time outside the monastery Erica had bought a few things
This time, Erica hadn’t prepared any gifts at all
