Chapter 991 - Trying Not To Look Back

Samuel walked into the kitchen slowly, and his eyes fell on Erika's figure.

When Merry saw him, she immediately lowered her head and began to eat again, pretending to ignore him.

Anna greeted Samuel politely, and immediately looked away.

At this time, Erika heard footsteps behind her. She looked back and gave her husband a faint smile. "Are you going to the company today?"

Samuel stared at her light makeup, blinking unexpectedly.

Today… she looks very special.

Samuel held back a bit of unease in his heart, and nodded. "Yeah, the company is busy today, so you don't have to wait for me to have dinner."

Erika's expression was light. "Okay."

The four then had their breakfast at the table.

Merry quickly ate some toast, didn't even finish her milk, then wiped the corner of her mouth. She looked at Erika, and said, "Mom, today I'm going to work. I'll be home soon and we'll have dinner together in the evening!"

"Okay, be careful on the way." Erika smiled gently, the extraordinary motherly love in her eyes warmed the little girl's awkward heart.

Seeing Merry about to leave, Anna put down the plate at the right time. "Auntie, I will return to accompany you tonight."

The two little girls' wise words made Samuel frown.

He glanced at Erika deeply, and while thinking silently, he subconsciously said, "After the company's business is done, I will try my best to return before dinner."

Erika took a spoon and took a sip of her porridge, raising her eyes and smiling. "Okay."

Such a warm answer made Samuel's heart a little strange.

Obviously, Erika was no different than usual, but he had the illusion of being ostracized by everyone.

Maybe it's just an illusion!

Ten minutes later, Samuel had finished his breakfast and changed into a dark blue suit. When he returned to the living room, he said to Erika who stood by the window, "If you're bored at home during the day, go out and hang out with your friends. When my work is done, I will take the time to accompany you."

Erika turned from the window and saw Samuel bowing his head to tie the cufflinks. He moved his fingertips and said nothing more. 

He may never know that in order to marry him, she came to Surabaya by herself. Her day was filled with caring for the man's family with all her heart, and this made her barely have time to make friends.

After hearing that voice, Samuel's strange feeling came back.

He stopped near the living room table, looked at Erika, and stretched out his hand. "Help me tie it up!"

Erika walked to the front, stood half a meter away from him, and neatly arranged the cufflinks for him. Finally, she smoothed the collar of his shirt again. "That's neat."

After seeing this, Samuel let go of his suspicions a little.

Erika's figure doesn't seem any different, she still handles all trivial matters for him.

Maybe he is being too suspicious.

Samuel comforted himself, and then looked at Erika guiltily, then leaned over and kissed her forehead. "I will try my best to come back to eat with you in the evening."

Erika nodded and pushed him away. "Go to the company. Since you are busy, you don't need to come back in a hurry."

"Okay, I'll go."

When those words finished, Samuel let go of Erika, and walked out of the house.

She leaned against the car's door and got into the back seat. As the car left the house, another black car immediately stopped near the aisle.

The Hiroshi family's driver got out of the car and opened the door. "Madam!"

Erika got into the car, and while looking ahead, she gently ordered, "Follow that car."

Early in the morning, Erika sat in the car and followed Samuel's car all the way out of the Hiroshi family's house.

Around nine o'clock, she saw Samuel's car parked at the Royal Galaxy Hotel.

At this time, the driver turned his head to look at the back seat, and asked curiously, "Madam, do you want to wait?"

Erika's eyes looked at the lobby, and she blinked slowly. "You go to the hotel lobby and ask if anyone named Emma is staying!"

"Yes, please wait."

In less than three minutes, the driver came back.

He rushed into the car, turned around and looked at Erika. Then he honestly said, "Madam, Mrs. Emma does live here, VIP room 818."

Erika immediately smiled and closed her eyes. "Let's go home."

Her guess was right, Samuel didn't even go to the company, he rushed out of his house just to see Emma.

Incredible!

She didn't want to know what was going to happen at the hotel, because after all… it didn't matter anymore.

...

Forty minutes later, Erika returned home.

She walked slowly through each room alone, and walked through every familiar lawn alone.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, she called the butler and handed over the sealed document in her hand. "Please help me pass this document to him after tomorrow."

The butler subconsciously agreed. When he received it, he asked suspiciously, "Should I deliver it the day after tomorrow?"

Erika nodded. "I'm going out of town with some friends to relax. I probably won't be here the day after tomorrow. This document is very important to my husband, remember to give it the day after tomorrow."

Hearing this explanation, the butler nodded clearly. "Okay madam, you don't have to worry. I will give it to your husband the day after tomorrow. However, if you want to go out, do you need to bring some bodyguards with you?"

After hearing that voice, Erika rejected the butler's kindness. "No, I just want to see art exhibitions in other cities. The bodyguards are too eye-catching and my friends will feel uncomfortable if they follow."

The woman was careful with her words, and this butler did not find it strange at all. "If you need anything, feel free to call home!"

The word 'home' made Erika's heart tremble.

This large and luxurious house will never be her home again. 

At 11.30, Erika took her suitcase and left for the airport.

When she arrived at the waiting room, she turned and looked at the Hiroshi family's long-running car. Her eyes looked calm and relieved

….

At the same time, the Royal Galaxy Hotel.

Samuel was sitting in the 2nd floor cafe restlessly looking at some of the documents in his hands.

He had been sitting here for more than two hours, but he had never turned the document over. In fact, he barely read a word.

Then, after five minutes, a figure slowly stepped out of the elevator and into the cafe area.

Emma looked around, and when she saw Samuel, a satisfied smile appeared on her mouth.

Sure enough, the man came here!

After smiling, she walked over in a hurry pretending to be panicked. "Sorry Samuel, my phone is on silent mode, and I didn't hear your call!"

When Samuel heard Emma's irritated tone, he put down the document in his hand, raised his eyes and curled his lips. "It's okay, did you rest well last night?"

Emma sat on the sofa in front of him, sighing.. "How can I sleep well? I keep thinking about how I should apologize to Merry."
