Chapter 1667
“So, if he tells you not to come back, you’re just gonna listen to him? He might’ve said it casually, but he probably
misses you like hell.” Erica, who had always marched to the beat of her own drum, had no constraints now. “Once
things here are sorted, I take you back!”
Larkin was a bit taken aback.
“If he wants to punish you, I can take the punishment with you, we’ll face it together” Erica’s words struck a chord
with Larkin.
The gloom on Larkin’s face disappeared in an instant.
He nodded, “Alright!”
“Are you not worried anymore?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLarkin shook his head. It occurred to him that Jacob really didn’t know what he had.
How could he have taken Erica for granted?
But then again, Larkin thought, it was a good thing Jacob didn’t appreciate what he had. Otherwise, he wouldn’t
have stood a chance.
H City
Jacob returned to the last home he shared with Erica.
Her presence still lingered in the house
He used Erica’s favorite body wash and then he crawled into her bed and fell into a deep sleep.
This was the longest he’d slept since he found out Erica was getting married. So long, in fact, that Mike started to
worry something had happened to him.
Jacob had a long dream.
In the dream, he went back to the past, to the day Erica was bullied, and he didn’t go skiing.
He picked up her call immediately, rushed to her side, and stopped the bullies right away
They never broke up.
After Erica finished her studies, they got married right away
They even had a pair of kids who looked just like her.
But the dream turned into a nightmare the moment Mrs. Strand showed up
Mrs. Strand hit Erica, a fire started in the house, and the kids disappeared in the fire.
Jacob tried to run in to save Erica, but his parents and elders held him back.
Then Larkin appeared.
Larkin rushed into the burning house without a second thought and carried Enca out of the fire.
The fire disappeared in an instant, replaced by a wedding ceremony filled with flowers.

“Jacob”
“Jacob, wake up!”
Mrs. Strand’s frantic voice echoed in Jacob’s ears.
Jacob slowly opened his eyes.
His parents were by his side. He glanced at them, then looked at the ceiling
Tears welled up in his swollen eyes.
“Mom, is Erica back?” His voice was husky as he turned to look at Mrs. Strand
Mrs. Strand furrowed her brows, her face filled with worry as she softly said, “Jacob, Erica is married now. Can you
let her go? We’re really worried about
you
Jacob felt his heart being torn apart.
Images of the church kept flashing in his mind.
His tears flowed freely
He curled up, clutching his chest, and asked painfully, “Why can’t I wake up from this nightmare?”
