The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1777

Erica seemed to be in a much better mood.

Larkin didn't often think about Jacob, but at this moment, Jacob popped into his mind out of the blue.

Erica was so easily pleased, but Jacob still couldn't hold on to her. This showed that Jacob's love for Erica was all talk and no action.

There was a great restaurant near the hospital, and Rosalynn and Wayne decided to grab a bite there.

As it was off-peak hours, the place wasn't packed.

They settled in a quiet corner.

After a while, Jaime called and griped, "You guys get to eat all the good food and didn't invite us? I’m hurt, don’t you love me anymore?"

"No I don’t," Rosalynn answered.

Jaime moaned and groaned until Wayne promised to bring back some goodies, then he finally let it go.

Jaime shouted his thanks and hung up.

Rosalynn set her phone aside and chuckled, "You and Jaime hit it off really fast, huh?"

Wayne grinned and put a shrimp into Rosalynn's plate.

Just then, Rosalynn's phone rang again. She thought it was Jaime calling to order food, she took one look at the caller ID, her expression changed.

"Shawn?" Wayne glanced at the caller ID.

He knew this guy. Shawn, him, and Jacob were childhood buddies.

There was silence on the other end for a few seconds.

"To be honest, I think he's avenging for Erica... Ah, how could we be blamed for Erica's stuff? Besides, avenging for Erica means forcing us, a bunch of friends, into a corner? Larry was arrested two days ago, did you know that? Just because there was one time, Larry got drunk and thought Erica was easy, and hugged her. Ah, Erica slapped Larry right then and there, nothing happened. Just for this, Jacob put Larry behind bars! I asked a lawyer, if he's really convicted, it's at least 10 years!"

Wayne didn't know who Larry was. From a bystander's perspective, he only asked one question, "Did Jacob really do that?"

Shawn was stunned again.

"Wayne, Larry does smuggling business, you've know about this..." Shawn grew increasingly anxious, "Anyway, we've been friends for so many years, I think it's really not worth it for a woman who doesn't care about him! Wayne, you... you should talk some sense into Jacob."

Rosalynn stirred her coffee absentmindedly.

Jacob didn't just start acting this way recently.

Shawn was so anxious because Jacob's actions were probably about to affect him.
