Matthew was rendered speechless. She had the courage to stay up late to watch a horror movie with the Lights turned off, but was so frightened of seeing another person. Why was that?

Erica immediately picked up the remote control and turned on the lights in the Living room. Almost instantly, the living room became as bright as day.

With a pale expression on her face, she stuttered, "“When...did you get back?"

“Just now."

"Why didn't you say anything?" Needless to say, she was still a bit shaken up.

The Living room of Matthew's villa was enormous to say the least. After she closed the door, shut the curtains and turned off all the lights, the whole place fell into darkness. It was perfect for watching a horror movie.

Matthew rolled his eyes at her. He had just come back and all he wanted to do was say “hi" to her.

"You know, we have a projector on the fourth floor, right?" he said. He was talking about the entertainment room where the sound system and atmosphere were designed specifically for the enjoyment of movies.

Erica shivered.

"I know about the entertainment room, but the thought of watching a horror movie there seemed more frightening. I prefer the living room."

Casting an indifferent glance at the girl squatting down on the couch, he said, "Carry on and enjoy the movie then."

He turned around to go upstairs

When he took the first step, Erica said, “Hey, will you be out tonight?"

Matthew turned around and stared at her emotionlessly.

“What do you think?"

‘What do I think?' "You can leave now and come back in the morning.

Well, if you don't want to come back tomorrow morning either, let's just meet up in Askor."

"I don't think I will be able to go to your parents' home tomorrow. Can you put it off until the day after tomorrow?"

Erica was a Little disappointed.

"How can we put it off? It's a wedding tradition. Do you have something important to do?"

She was disappointed not because she couldn't go back together with

Matthew, but because she would be disappointing her parents.

“Yes, I'm afraid I do."

*I understand that you have something important tomorrow, but is it a business or a personal matter?' she wondered. In truth, she didn't care whether it was for work or for personal reasons and she didn't intend to compel him.

“Well, don't worry about it. I can go by myself tomorrow. You can go when you have time!”
