Leonard family would get involved. Not to mention the Loftus family and the Thompson family from Alorith as well. Things would become even more difficult to deal with then.

After all, it was all Kirk's fault. But what could Michel do now? Since

Kirk was missing in action, Michel had no choice but to halt all high-risk operations temporarily until things got better

Erica got up early this morning on purpose, of course because she wanted to take her sons to the kindergarten by herself.

By the time it took her to wash her face and rinse her mouth, Matthew was already dressed neatly, lacking only a tie to complete his attire

Erica walked over to him and took the tie from his hand.

"Teach me how to tie a tie properly!" In fact, Erica should have learned how to tie a tie a long time ago, but she had been dragging it till now.

Matthew didn't refuse.

“Here! Watch me closely," he said. He flipped up the collar of his shirt and tied a Windsor knot, then patted the tie and his collar flat again.

Erica observed carefully and her eyes widened in awe.

“Wow, it's so simple! I think I can do it!" she said. She was a smart girl! After all, she had just mastered the art of tying a tie just by watching him do it once.

The man raised his eyebrows, untied his tie and asked her to do it on her own.

Erica took the tie and started her performance.

"The first step... The second step, er, no, that's not right..." A few minutes Later, her face was downcast.

Erica thought she had learned everything there was about tying a tie but when it was her turn to shine, she fell at the first hurdle.

Matthew took the tie from her hands and smiled.

“Pay attention. Let's do it again!"

“Okay!"

The man straightened his collar and hung the tie around his neck. When he was about to do the first knot, Erica suddenly stopped him.

“What's wrong?" Matthew paused and looked at her in confusion.

Tilting her head, Erica reached out her hand to brush her finger over the collar of his shirt. She noticed two words embroidered on his collar.

When the man noticed a subtle change in the woman's facial expression, he swallowed nervously. With a sense of immediacy, he quickly took her hand and said, "It's getting late. You should get changed!"

Unfortunately, the man's expression told Erica that things weren't as simple as she would have preferred.

“Let go of me!" She was consumed by curiosity. Today, she had to find out what those two words meant!

Matthew loosened his grip and dragged his collar back. Then he strode towards the bedroom door, tying his tie while walking.
