The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1698

Larkin used to be a monk, and once this tidbit hit the web, it stirred up quite a discussion.

Imagine, a non-celebrity, a non-public figure, suddenly topping the trending charts.

Larkin had always been an under-the-radar kind of guy before he tied the knot with Erica.

But now, thanks to Erica, he was suddenly the center of everyone's attention.

Erica was not exactly thrilled to see all the chatter about Larkin's past on the trending lists, regardless of the nature of the comments.

Rosalynn quickly picked up on Erica's mood and gently reassured her, "I think people are just curious about your husband, nothing malicious. Don’t worry too much about it."

Erica glanced at Rosalynn, pursed her lips, "I'm worried that all this attention might not sit well with Larkin, you know how he likes to keep things low-key."

"Instead of worrying here by yourself, why not go ask him directly?" Paige suggested, putting down her food and speaking in a soothing tone.

"I'll leave you two to chat then, I'm going to find him."

With that, Erica bolted up and dashed off.

Larkin wasn't just a whiz at medicine; he also had a soft spot for plants.

For some reason, the roses Calvin planted this year had been infested with pests.

He'd tried everything - books, videos, multiple methods, but nothing worked.

When he heard Larkin knew a thing or two about this, he made a beeline for him.

The weather was heating up.

When Erica found Larkin, he was wearing a wide-brimmed hat, ready to head back.

Larkin started to laugh, "Then why are you scared of people digging up our family's info?"

Erica was stumped.

"I..." she was speechless, "it's just...you guys are always so low-key..."

She trailed off, looking at Larkin with a blank expression.

Larkin just laughed even harder, his shoulders shaking.

"Even if we're plastered all over the internet and become a trending topic, it won't change the fact that me and the Carter family are low-profile. If people want to chat about it, then let's just say I've added a bit of spice to their lives. It's no biggie. Soon enough, they'll move on to the next big thing and no one will remember who Larkin is." After saying this, Larkin gently pinched Erica's nose.

Erica swatted his hand away playfully.

Larkin chuckled and continued, "Erica, marrying you wasn't about tying you down or adding pressure. I want you to be free, unburdened. You can still share your stunning photos on social media and voice your thoughts just like before. It's all up to you."
