"Is that really urgent?" he asked.
"Yes."
“Okay, tell me," he said with a sigh.
“Long time ago, I saved a man and took him home to treat his wounds. At that time, Matthew happened to come back home from a business trip.
When he saw the man, he got so angry." She paused as Matthew's enraged face flashed in her mind.
She couldn't help sobbing as she thought, ‘Did Matthew already like me at that time? If he didn't, why did he get furious when he found out that I brought a man back home?'
“Rika, what is happening to you? Why are you crying a lot recently?"
This time, Gifford regretted not coming to Alorith a few days ago to confront Matthew.
“I'm fine. I just discovered something that shocked me. I just found out that Matthew really Loves me," she replied while wiping the tears on her face.
Gifford was rendered speechless. He was surprised that she found out about it just now.
Erica continued, "Since then, that man has started to appear in my life more often. And every time we were together, Matthew would always appear and get furious. One day, Matthew beat him black and blue. When
I went to the hospital to visit him, he confided to me that he Liked me, and he was the one who sent me the roses." Although intermittently, she had finally told Gifford about Watkins.
She had always considered Watkins as a friend. A kind of friend that she was willing to fight for with her husband.
After Listening to her narration that Lasted for more than ten minutes,
Gifford thought for a while before decisively told her, "There's something wrong with that man. Judging from the fact that every time he was with you, you would run into Matthew, I'm sure he's not that simple. Perhaps everything was preplanned. And he was even with you when Phoebe had a miscarriage. Do you think it was just a coincidence?
Then he deliberately sent you the roses and confessed to you in the hospital. Obviously, his main purpose was to ruin your relationship with Matthew. Rika, I think you have been fooled." Thinking how his sister was tricked by a man, he couldn't help but sigh
Erica was stunned upon hearing her brother's conclusion. ‘Oh, my God!
My brother can see through everything, even merely from my narration
Why haven't I realized it from the start?’ she thought.
Gifford continued, “I suggest you ask someone to investigate what happened to you in the Blessing Palace. For me, it's too coincidental that he suddenly appeared in such a critical moment to save you. It might also be one of his plots."
‘If Gifford is right, then Watkins is not only hateful but also too terrifying, ' Erica thought to herself again
Sensing her disappointment, he comforted her, "Don't overthink things
Since you have treated him as a true friend, it's only normal that you can't see through him. But it's not too late yet to know his true colors. Tell me who he is, and I'll help you investigate. As for
Phoebe, I'll send someone to bring her here tomorrow."
Even though Gifford couldn't see her, she shook her head and said,
