"Just get a taxi!"
Erica had her arms wrapped around a big stuffed doll. She closed her eyes and in a spoiled child's voice, she said, "Then I'm not coming back. You don't miss me anyway. I will just go back to sleep alone in this big villa!"
Wesley conceded, after all, he knew how stubborn his daughter could be.
“Your brother will be there to fetch you at the station."
“Okay, I'll get up now! Bye, Dad!" She hung up the phone and put it back on charge.
Sitting upright on the bed, she looked around the empty bedroom and suddenly remembered that Matthew had come back last night.
When she looked at the other side and found no signs of another person sleeping there, she thought, 'I wonder if he left the villa Last night."
She scratched her head, trying to figure it out, but after a while she decided not to think about it anymore. She sprang up to her feet and went to the bathroom for a quick wash.
In the Hilton family manor
Carlos shouted at the person on the other end of the line, "Put off all your plans for today. Ask your sister to deal with the project of New
Coast Enterprise. You have to go to Askor with Rika today."
Carlos would have personally dealt with the company's affairs for
Matthew if he hadn't been out of the loop for a while now.
Matthew hung up the phone without saying another word.
Debbie was so anxious she was like an ant on a hot pan. She immediately called Wesley and Blair to apologize to them. Although Blair had repeatedly said that there was nothing to worry about, Debbie couldn't help feeling sorry.
After all, it was a custom for a newlywed couple to go back to the bride's home together on the third day after the wedding. How could
Matthew let his newlywed wife go back alone? It was utterly disrespectful to his parents-in-law!
"I guess Erica is on her way to Askor now. What should we do? This is so embarrassing," Debbie said anxiously.
After a moment's consideration, Carlos said, "I'll go and bring Matthew back."
Unfortunately, the old man couldn't find his son anywhere. Not in the headquarters, the branch office or his villa.
When Carlos tried calling his number, he found that Matthew's phone had been switched off. Infuriated, Carlos found himself shaking in anger and thinking about disowning his son.
In Askor
When Erica showed up at the high-speed train station dragging her luggage, she immediately spotted Gifford in his military uniform. He was so eye-catching, even from a distance. A young girl had gone up to him and asked for his WeChat account.
The look of seriousness on his face and the look of disappointment on the girl's indicated that he had refused to comply with her request.
As Erica watched the girl walk away, she approached her brother and said, "Is that why you've been single for more than thirty years?"
