Chapter 1825


    Erica quietly told herself, “You gotta hold on tight to Larkin. You can’t let down his full-on devotion to


    you.”


    After lunch, Erica and Larkin didn’t rush off for a nap. Instead, they helped the Lay Sisters and Brothers


    clean the dining hall, then headed off to the main hall. Finally, they grabbed their stuff and each headed


    to their own quarters.


    Just as Enca had settled in, the little nun Mary came to hang out with her. Erica took Mary along,


    bought another ice cream, and they sat on the same steps asst time.


    “Did Abbot have any reaction after we leftst time?” Erica asked in a low voice.


    Mary shot Erica a cautious look, “You don’t think an ice cream can buy me off to betray Abbot, do you?”


    “I’m trying to make peace between Larkin and Abbot. How could that be betrayal?” Erica answered


    seriously, “Can’t you see that Abbot misses Larkin


    too?”


    Mary pondered for a moment, she knew Abbot missed Larkin.


    Last time, when Larkin came back, Abbot immediately asked her to sort out all the scriptures


    handwritten by Larkin.


    Also, when Larkin and Erica left, Abbot actually came out to see them off.


    “He didn’t have any special reaction” Mary said truthfully, “But when you guys left, he dide out to


    take a nce.”


    Erica was surprised. “Did we leave too early then?”


    Mary was taken aback.


    “No matter howte you guys leave, Abbot would just take a distant look. You get what I mean?” Mary


    said.


    Erica suddenly lost her energy


    While eating her ice cream, Mary said, “If you guyse a few more times, and if your intentions are


    sincere, you’ll definitely win him over. You get what I mean?”


    “Oh, you can say such profound things? I thought you were an uneducated nun.” Erica teased.

    “Even though I didn’t go to school, I’ve read all the scriptures and books in the monastery Mary said


    proudly, “And I heard from the Sisters that there are many words in the Bible you don’t know and you


    have to ask them!”


    Erica said, “What!”


    These Sisters really spill everything to the kid!


    “The words in your Bible, many are really obscure Enca defended herself.


    What she didn’t say was.


    Before dating Jacob, she had trouble reading. It was onlyter that she learned to read for the sake of


    love.


    “Anyway, I’m better than you!” Mary said, looking bothposed and proud


    Erica was amused andughed.


    Hearing herughter, Mary quickly looked over, “What are youughing at?


    I''mughing because you’re super adorable Erica pinched Mary’s cheek


    Mary looked at Erica, stunned


    She had dreamed of her mother.


    She couldn’t see her mother’s face clearly, but her mother should be just like this, smiling so beautifully


    in the sunshine.


    Is there something wrong?” Erica saw Mary suddenly freeze


    She withdrew her teasing hand, and asked somewhat awkwardly. “Did I hurt you?”


    Mary turned her head, looking at a small sparrow on the ground pecking at food, and muttered, I’m
