Erica had a clear look of surprise on her face and she said, "Have we met before?" The man was extremely tall and lanky with dark, heavy bags under his eyes. If it weren't for the wrinkles on his face, Erica would have thought him to be twenty or thirty years old. But she was almost certain that she had never seen this man before.

He was very polite, well-mannered and respectful.

The man smiled brightly, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose and said, "Everyone in Y City knows you, Mrs. Huo."

"Oh! Well, it is nice to meet you, sir." The two shook hands gently and exchanged pleasantries before the man left.

When she entered Matthew's office, he was completely absorbed in his own work, meticulously going over a signed contract. When he saw her come in, he said, "Please give me five minutes."

"Sure, take your time. Who was that just now? Your client? He was very polite and charming," she said.

Matthew explained briefly, "He is Michel Wang. He just moved the headquarters of Wang Group to Y City last year."

"Oh, okay. Please, carry on with your work." Erica hadn't been inside his office in a long time. The decoration and furnishings of the office had changed a lot.

She looked around for a while and then finally opened the door to his private lounge.

The grey bed sheet was replaced by a new one with a lighter shade of brown. His clothes were neatly hung in the wardrobe. Strangely enough, the number of clothes he had here were no less than the ones he had at home. It seemed as though he had spent a lot of time in the office.

When Matthew went inside a few minutes later, he found the woman lying on the bed and playing with her phone. Without a change in his expression, he blankly said, "Let's go! Aren't we going to the shopping mall?"

"Yes, we are!" Erica got up from the bed, pranced to him and held his arm. "Do you have time to go shopping with me?"

"What do you think?" Since Matthew was finished with work, he could keep her company even until tomorrow morning.

Erica grinned and cheerfully said, "Let's go!" After all, she couldn't wait to see her boys.

Knowing that they would come today, Debbie called Sheffield and Joshua early in the morning, asking them to brin

er child with my sister if you want."

Sheffield raised his hands and shrugged his shoulders. "Forget it!" Besides, he didn't want his wife to experience the excruciating pain of childbirth again.

When they entered the living room, Gwyneth saw Erica as soon as she came downstairs. She hopped the rest of the way down and ran towards Erica. "Aunt!"

Erica let Godfrey and Damian down gently and hugged the girl as tight as she could. "Gwyn!" she called out.

"Aunt, where have you been? We've missed you so much!"

Erica smiled sheepishly. "Oh really? I was just out to have some fun. But I'm back now!"

Gwyneth nodded her head and smiled broadly.

Erica looked her up and down and said, "Gwyn, you've grown up. You're almost as tall as me now."

Softly patting her daughter's head, Evelyn said, "She is a junior high school student now."

Gwyneth nodded with a smile. "Aunt, I was still in primary school when you left, and now I'm a junior high school student."

Meanwhile, Damian, who was holding a toy gun in his hand, proudly said, "Mom, we are all in the preparatory class!"

"What? When did that happen?" How could these little three-year-old boys be in preparatory class, looking to start primary school next year?

Adkins explained, "It's not like you don't know that your sons are geniuses. Staying in the kindergarten is a waste of time for us."

Colman echoed, "Yes. Life is too short for a man like me. We can't waste our precious time on this earth."
