Chapter 1846

That night, Larkin found out that Mary didn’t want to leave the convent. Erica felt a bit down after hearing this, but Mary was a smart kid with her own mind. If that was her choice, Erica respected her decision. After all, things like fate can’t be explained with logic.

It was only after Abbot passed away that the monks and volunteers at the convent realized that his relationship with Larkin was pretty tight. Larkin was there at the funeral as a family member, standing alongside Abbot’s other disciples. His identity was easy to guess. Soon enough, everyone in the convent knew that Larkin was the one who’d left the monastic life behind, Abbot’s rumored disciple.

What they heard was that this disciple was highly enlightened, understanding so much at a young age. His decision to rejoin secular life had caused quite a stir back in the day. After ten years, people had pretty much forgotten about it. But with Abbot’s funeral, those memories were stirred up again.

“No wonder Mr. Larkin’s morning sermons are so deep, he used to be Abbot’s disciple, huh?” Erica overheard the monks chatting as she arrived home.

“Absolutely, those old folks who were always bugging Mr. Larkin for scripture advice, the moment they found out he was Mr. Carter, the one who’d left the monastic life, their whole attitude changed. They became really snarky, even dragging Erica into it. They were calling her a vixen, claiming she seduced Larkin.”

“Nonsense!” a nun suddenly retorted angrily, “Mr. Larkin has been out of the monastery for ten years. He just got married, what’s that got to do with Erica?”

“Today, when I mentioned this to my daughter, she showed me Mr. Larkin and Erica’s wedding photos. They’re all over the internet,” a volunteer whispered, “It’s pretty clear that Mr. Larkin left the monastic life because of Erica, but at that time she had a boyfriend. Poor Mr. Larkin, he waited for ten years.”
