Upon realizing that she was the only one in the room again, she abruptly sat up on the bed.

She put on her pajamas casually and got out of bed in a hurry to look for Matthew. However, as soon as she stood up, her legs felt very weak that she sank back into bed.

"Oh, my God!' she exclaimed silently, wincing in pain.

She clearly knew that Matthew had come to her with anger for the second time. He had surely given her a hard time. Looking down at the marks on her body, she couldn't help but frown. ‘Oh, how humiliating! Never mind. I'll just change my clothes first.‘

After putting on a set of clothes that hid her hickeys, she went out of the room. In the yard, she saw a man and a woman staring at each other with Owen expressionlessly standing next to them.

Chantel, who was in a cold sweat, finally felt a Little relaxed upon seeing Erica coming out of the house. But since Matthew's cold eyes were still on her, she couldn't even move to greet her.

However, Erica was happy to see her, so she ran over and hugged her

“Chantel, I'm so glad you're here. Are you not busy today?" In the past three years, whenever Chantel was free, she would always fly to Tow

Village to see the children.

Chantel nodded. She tried to bite the bullet and said, "Rika..." But

Matthew's presence hindered her from saying anything. She was still in shock because she had never expected to meet him here.

It was only then that Erica noticed something unusual. Seeing the sweat on Chantel's forehead, her instinct told her that something was wrong.

When she turned to Matthew and saw his gloomy face, she instantly understood what was going on.

She grabbed Chantel's arm and pulled her behind her before facing the cold man and asked, “What do you want to do?”

Matthew's gaze moved from her face down to her neck. Although she wore a turtle neck blouse to cover the hickeys in there, they still didn't escape his eyes. He swallowed to clear the lump in his throat and answered, "I want to send her to the slum."

Chantel was a member of the Leonard family, and she was very aware that both the Hilton family and the Leonard family had been looking for

Erica these past three years. She knew all along but she hid her whereabouts from all of them. If she had told him earlier that Erica was here, he wouldn't have suffered being alone for more than three years.

Frightened by his expression and tone, Chantel immediately grabbed

Erica's clothes.

Sensing her nervousness, Erica stretched out her arms to protect her like a mother hen protecting her chick.

“Matthew, don't blame her. It's all my fault. You can't send her to the slum.”

Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out of the yard.

She hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, where are you going?"

Since he didn't reply, Owen explained on his behalf, "Mrs. Hilton... I mean Miss Leonard, the car is ready. Matthew is going back to Alorith now."

‘What? Does this man never get tired? He came all the way here to sleep with me and immediately Leave the next morning, ' she thought.
