The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 1840

The Prior noticed Mary's affection on Erica alright.

Last time after Erica left, Mary finished her tasks and then sat at the monastery gate, staring into the distance.

Mary didn't voice it out, but anyone with half a brain could tell, she was waiting for someone.

By dusk, when he and Larkin rushed to the hospital, they saw Mary and Erica walking out hand in hand, her face showing a kind of happiness the Prior had never seen before on her.

The Prior noticed the change in Mary.

Mary was still young, didn't understand the purpose of the monastery and faith. All she knew was that she had to read and copy the scriptures every day at the monastery.

So, whether it was religious practices or worldly life, it didn't make much of a difference to her.

"Did you ask Mary?" Abbot didn't ask him the reasons.

The Prior shook his head, "There’s no need to ask, I can make this decision for her."

Abbot let out a long sigh, "She's the girl you brought back, it's up to you whether she stays or leaves."

"I got it."

Abbot closed his eyes.

Next to him was a small incense burner, brought by Larkin.

He's now in the antiques business, this little incense burner was something he bought five years ago.

At the time, he saw it and thought his teacher would like it, so he bought it.

The incense in the burner was also mixed by Larkin himself.

It has a calming effect, can help with depression.

Abbot really liked this incense burner, enjoyed the faint smell of the incense.

After Larkin walked around the monastery with Erica for over an hour, he walked her back, then returned to Abbot's room.

"Let it be." Larkin said lightly.

If they refuse, there's nothing they can do about it.

"The Abbot said before he went to sleep, if you come, to send you back to rest, you don't need to stay up with him." the Prior paused for a moment, "Let's go, I'll walk you back."

The Prior is a straight shooter, he can never hide his feelings.

One look and Larkin could tell, he had something to say.

So, he nodded.

As they crossed the threshold, walking towards Larkin's quarters, the Prior was looking at his toes, not saying a word.

Larkin didn't rush him, just quietly moved forward.

Just before they reached Larkin's courtyard, the Prior finally mustered up the courage to say, "Larkin, you and Ms. Lawrence are married, have you guys ever thought about having kids?"
