"Ouch!"Evelyn yelped in pain as she jolted out of her thoughts and quickly smacked Eric's hands."Why did you do that?" She grunted, glaring at Eric while rolling her eyes at him."Well, I felt it was a good thing to pull your nose as it looked pointed." Eric chuckled."Nonsense." Evelyn snorted, rolling her eyes at Eric.But then deep inside, she was deeply relieved. All she needed in the first place was just a bit of reassurance.Now that he had reassured her, she was feeling all okay, so She knew that she still had a place in Eric's heart.He was not going to abandon her. She was not going to lie; that was her greatest fear; she couldn't let anything happen."Ring! Ring!"Eric's phone suddenly rang pulling Evelyn out of her thoughts. Eric, on the other hand, pulled out his phone and looked at who was calling him, only to see it was Charlotte."Hello, beaut......" Eric said, but stopped amidst his words and glanced at Evelyn only to see that she was glaring at him."Cough! Cough!"

"Why did you do that?" Charlotte glared at Eric trying to calm her palpitating heart.If it was not for her reflex, she would have been injured seriously because she was not using a seatbelt.At the moment, she felt like hitting Eric; the latter had no look of remorse on his face, and he even looked smug about it, which made her angrier."You should have worn your seatbelt," Eric finally turned to Charlotte and said."You...." Charlotte pointed at Eric, not knowing what to say."I'm sorry, I didn't know you weren't wearing your seatbelt." Eric apologized after a while."Humph!" Charlotte scoffed and turned away."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do it." Eric sighed, traces of sadness could be felt in his voice.Charlotte smiled upon hearing this and knew that he was feeling guilty for what he had done.She was willing to forgive him now, at least, he knew what he did was wrong."Aren't you a Golden Core cultivator? Why did you get so scared when you were powerful? If your forehead had smas

"I never knew you were this rich!" Charlotte turned to look at Eric as he drove into the estate.Eric glanced at Charlotte and didn't say anything. He knew well that she was just being sarcastic, so there was no need to reply to her. If he did, he would just be looking for trouble.Also, he had been thinking of a way to convince Emily not to say too much because he knew she was the only one who was going to get inquisitive.The others were likely not to ask questions, but Emily was unbridled and was going to ask some questions.Driving into the garage, Eric parked the car and alighted alongside Charlotte. They had been stuck in traffic, or else they would have gotten home quite a long time."Why do you look so nervous, you look like you are trying to hide something?" Charlotte squinted her brows as she looked at Eric who was deep in thought as they walked into the house."It's nothing much, you don't have to worry." Eric shook his head, still wondering what he was going to say to Emil

"What are you doing here?" Evelyn turned around, looking at Eric who had just walked into her room."Should I go back instead?" Eric asked, turning around to leave."I didn't say that, I was just asking what you wanted." Evelyn sighed, face palming not knowing what to do to Eric."What do husband and wife do together, alone and at night?" Eric grinned, walking towards Evelyn who was sitting on a chair with a lot of paperwork, intending to grope her from behind."I hope you remember that this room is soundproof right." Evelyn chuckled as she placed something on the table, which made Eric stop in his tracks."But this ain't fair." Eric sighed, feeling rather disgruntled."This world ain't fine baby." Evelyn grinned, turning around to look at Eric."So what do you want?" Evelyn asked, her voice finally turned serious as she looked at Eric."I know you have many questions, you can ask." Eric sighed and sat on the bed, staring at Evelyn who was now looking at him."Well...." Evelyn stutter

(The Next Day)"Are you sure the head of the police would not be annoyed?" Charlotte asked as she turned to look at Eric with a slight frown on her face."Why should she get annoyed?" Eric shrugged, getting into the car.Everyone had already gone to work except for Aunt Mary who was always at home.For some unknown reason, Charlotte happened to sleep more than she was supposed to and thus woke up late.Eric wouldn't have woken up early if it was not for Emily who barged into the room and complained that he was to get a car for Emily.Chloe's workplace and Emily's workplace were quite a distance from each other.So because they didn't want to disturb Eric, Emily was the one taking them all to work.Natalie had a car, and Evelyn refused to take the car Chloe offered her.After all, it was Eric who had given it to her. So the lazy girl stormed to Eric's room that morning and demanded that he get Emily a car.As for Sophia, Eric's company was just right before they got to Chloe's company,
