The man looked at the woman in black sportswear and asked in a cold voice, "Where were you? I've been waiting a long time."

“Well, I..." Erica hesitated. She didn't know if she should tell him the truth, but since he asked, she guessed he already knew the answer.

"You look guilty. Something I should know?"

Matthew suddenly tightened his grip around her and said angrily,

“Erica, if you do this kind of thing again, I'll skin you alive!"

The woman was frightened by the anger in his eyes. She immediately sat on his lap and held him in her arms, trying to comfort him.

"I didn't do anything. Just a little recon. I didn't do anything to attract their attention, either. I thought I was at a safe distance from them. But they still found me and took off after me." When she thought about it, she figured out it might be the red dot that blinked on the night vision binoculars. The more she thought about it, the more it made sense. They gave away their own position.

Matthew's sullen face didn't soften any because of her words. He put his hand on top of her head, fingers at her temples, and turned her head to face him. He wanted her to look him in the eye.

“Aren't you trying to find Kirk's boss? From now on, I'll take care of it. Don't get involved! You could have been killed!"

Erica was shocked.

"You know everything?" How did he know? She didn't remember telling him about this.

“If I want to know something, I will find out," Matthew said curtly.

‘He's bragging!‘ The woman blinked, a mischievous expression on her face.

"You didn't know where I was, did you? So, all-knowing one, why didn't you know that? Or maybe you didn't want to know where I was

Embarrassment flashed across Matthew's face.

“You're the only one who's able to hide from me!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but admire Erica. After all, the

Hilton family and the Leonard family couldn't find her even though they pooled their resources.

“ALL right, all right. But you know I'm going out again, right? You can't stop me." The woman became instantly serious, looking the man in the eye.

“No way!" He refused directly without hesitation.

If he hadn't figured out where she was tonight and sent a big truck along to handle the situation, he couldn't guarantee Erica would sit on his lap so easily. She might even be in the hospital if he hadn't intervened.

Leaning her head on his shoulder, Erica asked, "Honey, did I ever tell you what happened to Orange?"

The man didn't say anything, which meant no.

“He was one of the first people we came across after we got out of the slum. He was so kind to me. Tessie and I lived near their film studio then. When he came out to relax during his break, he saw me and my belly was so huge. He hadn't seen me in a Long time. I'd changed a lot.

He didn't recognize me at all, so he didn't come over and say hi..
