Chapter 1121 Go Back To The Li Family House Alone


    That night when Matthew arrived home, it was eleven o''clock and he sensed that something was wrong


    the moment he opened the door.


    The lights in the living room were switched off, but the 100-inch TV was still on. It was ying a movie


    —a scary one. On the screen, the ck and white messengers from the hell were talking to a ghost


    with long hair and dressed in white, standing by a decrepit tomb.


    "Your soul has been hovering here for six years. It''s time you return to the world of the living!" The


    ck and white messengers spoke in harmony.


    The ghost floating in the air started crying, but instead of tears, there was blood in her eyes. "But I


    haven''t seen my husband. I cannot leave yet! I won''t leave!"


    "This time it is not up to you!"


    Just when the ck and white messengers were about to capture the female ghost, another ghost,


    seemingly male, with a green-colored face and sharp teeth rushed out from nowhere.


    The woman on the sofa clutched the cushion in her hand tightly as the noise from the TV red


    intensely. She kept reciting "Amitabha" in her mind while her eyes remained glued to the screen.


    "You..."


    said the man abruptly, as he stood next to her. Frightened out of her wits, Erica screamed at the top of


    her lungs and jumped to her feet. "Ahhhh!"


    When she recognized the man in front of her, she screamed for another three seconds before she


    finally stopped.


    Matthew was rendered speechless. She had the courage to stay upte to watch a horror movie with


    the lights turned off, but was so frightened of seeing another person. Why was that?


    Erica immediately picked up the remote control and turned on the lights in the living room. Almost

    instantly, the living room became as bright as day.


    With a pale expression on her face, she stuttered, "When...did you get back?"


    "Just now."


    "Why didn''t you say anything?" Needless to say, she was still a bit shaken up.


    The living room of Matthew''s vi was enormous to say the least. After she closed the door, shut the


    curtains and turned off all the lights, the whole ce fell into darkness. It was perfect for watching a


    horror movie.


    Matthew rolled his eyes at her. He had juste back and all he wanted to do was say "hi" to her. "You


    know, we have a projector on the fourth floor, right?" he said. He was talking about the entertainment


    room, where the sound system and atmosphere were designed specifically for the enjoyment of


    movies.


    Erica shivered. "I know about the entertainment room, but the thought of watching a horror movie there


    seemed more frightening. I prefer the living room."


    Casting an indifferent nce at the girl squatting down on the couch, he said, "Carry on and enjoy the


    movie then."


    He turned around to go upstairs.


    When he took the first step, Erica said, "Hey, will you be out tonight?"


    Matthew turned around and stared at her emotionlessly. "What do you think?"


    ''What do I think?'' "You can leave now ande back in the morning. Well, if you don''t want toe


    back tomorrow morning either, let''s just meet up in A Country."


    "I don''t think I will be able to go to your parents'' home tomorrow. Can you put it off until the day after


    tomorrow?"


    Erica was a little disappointed. "How can we put it off? It''s a wedding tradition. Do you have something


    important to do?"


    She was disappointed not because she couldn''t go back together with Matthew, but because she would


    be disappointing her parents.


    "Yes, I''m afraid I do."


    ''I understand that you have something important tomorrow, but is it a business or a personal matter?''


    she wondered. In truth, she didn''t care whether it was for work or for personal reasons and she didn''t


    intend topel him. "Well, don''t worry about it. I can go by myself tomorrow. You can go when you


    have time!"


    Matthew went upstairs without saying anything else.


    Erica didn''t feel so scared anymore as she continued to watch the rest of the movie because she knew


    that there was another person at home.


    At midnight, Erica went upstairs, yawning and rubbing her drowsy eyes.


    On the third floor


    The vi was very quiet. If not for the stream of light from the half-closed door of the study, Erica


    would''ve thought that she was still alone at home tonight.


    When she returned to her bedroom, Erica climbed into bed and texted Wesley. "Colonel Li, just letting


    you know that your daughter will being home tomorrow. She''s not bringing your son-inw with


    her. Over!"


    Wesley was chatting with ir when his phone beeped. He looked at the screen and saw that it was a


    text message from Erica. He took his phone and replied, "Why aren''t you bringing him with you?"


    ''Humph! I called you so many times the other day but you didn''t answer. Now when it''s about your son-


    inw, you respond in a heartbeat, '' Erica sulked silently. "Well, you know your son-inw is very busy


    and we''re not really in love with each other. What? Were you really expecting him toe see you?"


    Erica curled her lips, thinking that Matthew would rather be with his goddess than spend time with his


    wife and her family.


    "Okay." Wesley responded with a simple reply.


    ''Okay? That''s it?'' She rolled her eyes at her dad''s message.


    Erica had gotten quite used to sleeping in this bed after spending three nights all by herself. She


    yawned again, putting the phone aside and soon fell asleep.


    The next morning, as the rm rang, Erica slowly opened her eyes and weed the sun through the


    curtains.


    She looked at the time. It was six o''clock, but she didn''t want to get up. Erica thought about taking the


    high-speed trainter since she hadn''t bought the air ticket yet. In any case, since she was in no rush


    to go anywhere at the moment, she decided to catch some more sleep.


    When she woke up again, it was an hour and a halfter. In fact, she wouldn''t have woken up if Wesley


    hadn''t called her phone. "Dad?"


    "I know you are still sleeping. It''s almost eight o''clock. Are you stilling home?"


    "Yes!" There was no way Erica could avoid this even if Matthew didn''t go with her. "I''ll take the high-


    speed trainter. Don''t forget to pick me up at the station."


    "Just get a taxi!"


    Erica had her arms wrapped around a big stuffed doll. She closed her eyes and in a spoiled child''s


    voice, she said, "Then I''m noting back. You don''t miss me anyway. I will just go back to sleep


    alone in this big vi!"


    Wesley conceded, after all, he knew how stubborn his daughter could be. "Your brother will be there to


    fetch you at the station."


    "Okay, I''ll get up now! Bye, Dad!" She hung up the phone and put it back on charge.


    Sitting upright on the bed, she looked around the empty bedroom and suddenly remembered that


    Matthew hade backst night.


    When she looked at the other side and found no signs of another person sleeping there, she thought, ''I


    wonder if he left the vist night.''


    She scratched her head, trying to figure it out, but after a while she decided not to think about it


    anymore. She sprang up to her feet and went to the bathroom for a quick wash.


    In the Huo family manor


    Carlos shouted at the person on the other end of the line, "Put off all your ns for today. Ask your


    sister to deal with the project of New Coast Company. You have to go to A Country with Rika today."


    Carlos would have personally dealt with thepany''s affairs for Matthew if he hadn''t been out of the


    loop for a while now.


    Matthew hung up the phone without saying another word.


    Debbie was so anxious she was like an ant on a hot pan. She immediately called Wesley and ir to


    apologize to them. Although ir had repeatedly said that there was nothing to worry about, Debbie


    couldn''t help feeling sorry.


    After all, it was a custom for a newlywed couple to go back to the bride''s home together on the third


    day after the wedding. How could Matthew let his newlywed wife go back alone? It was utterly


    disrespectful to his parents-inw!


    "I guess Erica is on her way to A Country now. What should we do? This is so embarrassing," Debbie


    said anxiously.


    After a moment''s consideration, Carlos said, "I''ll go and bring Matthew back."


    Unfortunately, the old man couldn''t find his son anywhere. Not in the headquarters, the branch office or


    his vi.


    When Carlos tried calling his number, he found that Matthew''s phone had been switched off. Infuriated,


    Carlos found himself shaking in anger and thinking about disowning his son.


    In A Country


    When Erica showed up at the high-speed train station dragging her luggage, she immediately spotted


    Gifford in his military uniform. He was so eye-catching, even from a distance. A young girl had gone up


    to him and asked for his WeChat ount.


    The look of seriousness on his face and the look of disappointment on the girl''s indicated that he had


    refused toply with her request.


    As Erica watched the girl walk away, she approached her brother and said, "Is that why you''ve been


    single for more than thirty years?"


    Taking the suitcase from her hand, Gifford gently tapped her on head with his knuckles. "Don''t talk


    nonsense. But hey, this is the first time I''ve seen a bridee back to her parents'' home without her


    husband."
