Erica walked around campus with her camera, randomly taking photos of anyone and anything that caught her eye, while Hyatt followed her silently.

When she sat down to rest for a while, Hyatt said, “I called your brother the other day, but why did Matthew come to save you instead?"

“Oh, my brother told me that he couldn't make it to Alorith in time, so he called Matthew. Thank you, Hyatt. I don't know what I would have done without your help." Erica had been Looking for the chance to thank

Hyatt, but she had forgotten all about it until he mentioned the incident from the other day.

With a guilty look on his face, Hyatt said, “Don't thank me. I didn't beat them for you."

Erica put her hand on his shoulder in a friendly way and said, “That's okay. You helped me anyway. I only have you and Rhea as my best friends now. Don't betray me Like Julianna and Tessie did!"

“How could I ever... I..." Hyatt was so embarrassed by Erica's remark that his face turned red.

"I'm not that kind of a person!"

Erica burst into laughter and said, “I believe you. By the way, has your mother scolded you Lately?”

"Yes, she came to see me the day before yesterday."

“Has she been nagging you again?" In her thoughts, Erica could clearly picture Lilith nagging Hyatt.

Hyatt Looked down in shame and said, “You have the right guess." It wasn't hard to imagine what Lilith would say; after all, she was always repeating the same old things—"How many times have I told you not to follow Erica. You just won't Listen to me! You're such a disobedient son. You even came to Alorith with her. I had to travel a long way to

Alorith just to see you..."

Erica nodded and said, “Yes. If I were your mother, I would have nagged you too! You ran away with a married woman. In your mother's eyes, what you did was probably the same as eloping with a married woman. How could she not be mad at you?"

"I don't care. Erica, you don't have to feel guilty. I don't have any friends in Askor and you're the only one who ever treated me like a true friend. I will follow you wherever you go. If you are busy, you don't have to worry about me. I can read novels in the dormitory by myself." Hyatt was obsessed with martial arts and fantasy novels.

Caught in his own element, he would often read books and even forget to eat or sleep.

His hobby was nothing but a waste of time in his mother's eyes, and that was another thing she would always nag about.

"Then call me if you need anything!" Erica said.

"Okay."

That night, when Matthew came back home, Erica followed him like a shadow. When he went to the study, she did so as well. When he went to the closet to change his clothes, she'd tag along too.

However, when he took his clothes off, Erica was too shy to look, so she lowered her head and pretended to look through his tie collection in the drawer.

Since the man changing clothes next to her had the perfect figure, it would be a pity to allow such a sight to go to waste for nothing. So,

Erica glanced sideways to sneak a peek, only to be discovered almost immediately. When she laid her eyes on Matthew's naked body, she turned her back to him at once, riddled with guilt. She kept rummaging through the drawers full of his ties and watches.

However, her attention was quickly drawn to his drawer full of watches.

‘What a spendthrift man! How many watches does Matthew have?" She began to count out of curiosity.
