The monk pondered for a moment, then silently took the piece of paper.
That night.
There were some new and tasty watermelon chunks in the cafeteria.
The volunteers were all chowing down happily.
Erica watched and felt very happy as well.
"It’s strange." Erica looked at her plate of food, "I've been eating this for a few days now, and I kinda started to find it tasty!"
Larkin looked at Erica like she was a well-behaved kid.
He used to hear people talk about Erica, saying she was spoiled and affected.
But do they really know her?
Erica was actually easy to get along with.
"Let's go out later and buy some local snacks to take back for them." Larkin said, gently removing a fallen leaf from Erica's hair.
"Are they good?" Erica's eyes immediately lit up.
Larkin nodded, "Not bad."
"Then I'll buy some more for that nun!" Erica really liked that nun who was sometimes clueless but oddly mature.
"Okay." Larkin nodded.
After dinner, they helped wash dishes, and tidied up the cafeteria.
Erica and Larkin then left through the side door.
The snack shop was just outside the monastery, in the same alley as Mr. and Mrs. Parsons' fruit stand.
Word of Larkin's return had spread.
So when Larkin and Erica arrived, the owner of the snack shop was only slightly surprised.
Larkin chatted with the owner while handing the snack list to the clerk.
After the small talk, Larkin immediately introduced his newlywed wife.
Larkin looked at her, smiled and nodded, "But... are you really planning on having children?"
"You're not?" Erica asked in surprise.
Larkin was originally just trying to tease Erica.
But he didn't expect Erica to take it so seriously, which left him a bit stunned, "I respect your wishes."
"There’s no rush though, what couple in love would want children during their honeymoon phase?" Erica swung Larkin's hand, "Let's enjoy our love first!"
Honeymoon...sounds good.
Honeymoon phase is really good!!
In the monastery, men and women live separately.
Back at the monastery, just as they were about to part ways, they bumped into the nun, she looked tired.
"You came just in time!" Erica was holding a small pack of snacks, one of each of the most popular flavors, for the nun.
"Hello." The nun came over, looking quite listless.
