After all, Nathan was a good friend of Matthew's, and it was the seventh-day ceremony after his death. As Matthew's lawfully wedded wife, she should at least come with him as well.

With that in mind, she said to Hyatt, “You poor boy, I have to go now.

I don't have classes in the afternoon, so I guess I won't be coming back here. Let's just have lunch together some other time. You should fix your own schedule in the afternoon, okay? I'm leaving now."

“Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Did something happen?" Hyatt asked in confusion.

“There's some urgent matter I have to attend to. I don't have time to explain it right now. I really have to go! Bye!” With that, Erica hurriedly left.

A black Emperor pulled over by the side of the road. When he saw Erica running out of the school, Matthew immediately opened the door and got out.

The luxury car drew the attention of many people. And when they saw

Matthew get out of the car, all those who were passing by were shocked.

So much so that they even exclaimed in excitement.

Erica stopped in her tracks in front of Matthew, trying to catch her breath.

"Why didn't you call me in advance? I would've come out much earlier!

Casting her a quick glance, he flatly replied, “You've forgotten what you promised me this morning. Are you seriously trying to blame me for not calling you earlier?"

Upon hearing his response, Erica came to realize that she was indeed the one in the wrong here. So, she tried to put on a smile and said,

“ALL right. It's my fault. We should hurry up. Get in the car!"

Matthew was rather satisfied with her attitude. For that reason, he didn't mind it anymore and just stepped aside to let her get in the car.

He brought her to a restaurant so she could have lunch first, then bought her a black outfit at the mall. After she was done changing into the black clothes, they immediately went to the venue where the seventh-day ceremony was going to be held.

By the time they arrived, many people were already standing there mourning Nathan's passing.

In the middle of the hall, there was a man's black and white portrait on display. He Looked so young and handsome.

Although she never really had the chance to meet him, the passing of such a handsome young man still made Erica feel sad.

A woman was standing at the front right, with her long hair tied up behind her head. With a black suit and white soft cotton shoes, she stood there in silence with her back facing the crowd.

The sight of her back somewhat reminded Erica of the woman she saw in the underground parking lot of the mall. Matthew was helping the woman get in his car back then. Were they the same person?

Purely instinctively, she turned to Look at Matthew. He was walking toward that woman while nodding his head to the people who were greeting him.

When Erica and Matthew were right behind the woman, he asked, "Is everything ready?"

Upon hearing his voice, the woman quickly turned around. It was only then that Erica was finally able to take a good look at her face.

The woman was very attractive. Her pale face made her look as though there was no blood flowing through it. Her thick eyebrows were slightly raised, and a pair of tantalizing eyes showing a hint of sadness, and her red Lips were slightly quivering.
