Chapter 1604

Erica made up her mind.

She decided to swallow her pride and stubbornness, ending her decade-long entanglement with Jacob, hoping to achieve what she wanted. But things didn't turn out as expected.

She'd been gone for half a month and Jacob totally had ways to contact her.

She never deliberately stopped him from replaceing her

But he didn't take any action.........

Just like countless times before, he confidently waited for her to return as if nothing had happened.

"So, should we reconsider our marriage?"

Larkin's words were like a depth charge, silent but powerful

"What?" Erica looked at Larkin in surprise

"You're very smart and clear-headed, you know better than anyone that Mr. Jacob is not right for you," Larkin stated bluntly

"So, if he's not right for me, you think you are?" Erica was furious when she heard this, suddenly standing up. "And even if I give up on Jacob, why should i consider marrying you? Can't I live without a man?" With that, she grabbed a book from the table and stormed out.

The next day, she hid in her room all day

But Larkin had the servants bring her favorite foods for every meal.

This went on for two days

Then Orval Carter showed up.

"Miss Erica, your reputation is not good, you know?" Orval started off bluntly when he saw Erica. "But do you know what kind of person Larkin is? He started being a monk at the age of three and is now a very prestigious one! All these years, he never glanced at any woman arranged for him by his, family, knowing you were taken, he never bothered you! You were with Jacob for ten years, and Larkin waited for you for ten years! Even I already got married and had kids...

Drval's voice got quieter and quieter

Erica didn't say anything

He was all set for a big argument with Erica.

But she just stayed silent.

This made Orval somewhat scared.

"What are you doing?" Orval asked

"All those rumors about me were spread by someone who didn't want me to be recognized by the Lawrence family. I never had anything to do with those men," Erica said.

She felt wronged, "No one believes me, and anyone can use these rumors to slander me!"

Even Jacob believed the rumors.

"Larkin is a lofty person, I'm not good enough for him. Don't worry, I'll leave at the next port, we won't meet again, are you satisfied?" Erica looked at the shocked Orval, then slammed the door shut. Truth be told, this half month was one of the rare easy and comfortable times in Erica's life.

Sometimes she really didn't understand, obviously those men were interested in her, why was she the one who ended up being wrong in the end?

That day, Erica hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign on her door and refused Larkin's help.

When dawn came, the cruise ship would be docking at the next port

Erica packed her bags, planning to end her trip early and put an end to her past with Jacob

Late at night.

The deck was empty

Looking at the starry sky and the bright moon, Erica, holding half a bottle of wine, left her room and walked to the deck alone.
