Chapter 1602

Erica bumped into Larkin again, a full decade and a bit after their last encounter.

Just the day before, Jacob’s meddlesome mum had sought her out, making a brish proposal to buy her off, to make her leave Jacob alone. She was all like, “Over my dead body will I let my son be with an unsuitable girl like you. Marrying you? Not on my watch”

She threatened to kill herself right in front of Jacob if he insisted on marrying Erica

Not exactly Mother of the Year material, that one

If Erica had been the type to bend over backwards to please others, how would her old man have ditched her in the first place?

So she butted heads with Jacob’s mum big time
