And then...
Jacob's earnest pursuit and her deep admiration gave her the determination to stick to it.
"Larkin, did you hear her, do you know what you need to do?" Rosalynn joked ahead.
Erica was taken aback.
Larkin replied, "Alright, I got it. I'll start buying roses for you from tomorrow."
"That's not what I meant, why are you two so mean, making fun of me together!" Erica said with a bitter smile, showing her discontent.
The previous weird vibe disappeared instantly.
"Don’t buy me roses, it's a waste of money!" Erica warned Larkin.
Larkin just laughed, but didn't respond.
Laughing and chatting, they arrived at Moonlit Lake.
As soon as they entered the gate, they could see Paige waiting with Ivy Jared from a distance.
Erica and Paige, both newly acquainted friends, were excited to see each other.
As soon as the car stopped, she couldn't wait to push open the door and get off.
"Paige!"
"Erica!"
Paige and Erica, like old friends that haven’t seen each other in ages, excitedly shook each other's hands.
Ivy was watching them, and once her mom got off the car, she mimicked them and ran over, grabbing her mom's hand and swinging it.
Wayne was playing chess with Cory.
Seeing them come in, Wayne and Cory both stood up.
"You guys carry on. They won't pay attention to us for a while, I'm going to check on grandma." Rosalynn signaled her husband and son to sit back down.
Erica also said, "President Silverman, I treat this place like my own home, so don't be shy, just do whatever you need to do!"
Larkin politely nodded to Wayne, then followed his wife. Wayne and his son sat back down and continued their game of chess.
However, for some reason, he felt that Erica's smile was somewhat sly.
"Cory, was I close with Erica in the past?" Wayne slowly moved a chess piece and asked Cory.
"Not really," Cory responded, then said, "Mom used to say that you were always chasing after Erica, and she often wasn't in the H Country to avoid you."
