Time passed in the blink of an eye, three days had passed since Merry left the house.
There was still no news of Erika's whereabouts.
Everyone Samuel sent to investigate gave him relatively the same report.
Erika seems to have completely disappeared from the world, as if the earth had swallowed her up whole.
Samuel was seen walking back and forth in his house every day, looking as if nothing had changed in his life.
However, it was the little things that made him realize everything had changed.
For example, when he wore a tie, he couldn't help but call out Erika to help him put it on.
Or when he couldn't put his cufflinks on, he stretched out his hand, and the smiling woman would come to his aid.
Now… every late night when he had trouble sleeping, the glass of warm milk was no longer by his bed.
And it got worse when Merry refused to go home.
Samuel's life became very bland. The noises only came from servants reminding him to eat, drink, or greet him out of obligation.
Everything is different!
Without Erika, everything felt so meaningless.
That morning, Samuel walked into the garden step by step.
He saw that his butler was tending the flowers, he couldn't help but stop and stare at the beautiful flowers.
Since Emma used to say that she liked flowers, when he was young, Samuel told the servants to plant lots of flowers in this garden.
Unexpectedly, this garden has been around for years!
At this time, the butler suddenly discovered his figure and hurriedly put down the shovel in his hand. "Master, what can I help you?"
Samuel shook his head silently. "What are you doing?"
The butler was surprised and then smiled. "Some of these sunflowers don't grow well, so I'm thinking of replacing them with new ones. Every year, Madam would replace them with new ones. But since she wasn't around this year, I took her place and took care of them."
Samuel was shocked, he swallowed his throat then asked with difficulty. "Did she do this every year?"
The butler sighed and nodded. "Yes, madam will replant new sunflowers in March and April every year. She said that you liked these flowers, so to ensure their freshness, almost all of these flowers had been taken care of by the madam herself. But this year's rain has been heavy, and these growing sunflowers have lost their charm…"
The butler fell silent with a bad mood. The current Hiroshi family no longer had the laughter of previous years.
The young lady had left, and so was the madam. Every day, the servants would be alarmed by their master's dazed state!
At this time, Samuel looked at the sunflowers that were replaced with a confused face. His heart twitched slightly and started to make him feel an inexplicable pain.
Sunflowers do not have a strong vitality.
On the other hand, the flower is able to live for years because of the care and love of the person who cares for it.
Samuel did not speak, but turned and walked a little.
He realized that Erika's departure seemed to have had a huge impact on him. He only realized this when the person who loved him was gone.
Samuel walked back into the hall in front of the house. As he was about to enter the living room, he saw the maids rushing from inside to outside.
"What's wrong, why do you look panicked?"
When a maid saw Samuel, she immediately reported worriedly. "Sir, the news from the doorman just came. A lady and a woman are fighting at the door!"
"Is it Merry?"
The maid continued to nod. "The guard said that they both came together, and the lady hastily got out of the car then shattered the windows of the other car with stones."
When Samuel heard reports from the waiter, he hurriedly walked towards the gate of the house.
At this time, there was chaos outside the gates of the Hiroshi house.
When Samuel arrived, he saw Merry arguing with Emma even though Merry was being restrained by Chris. The little girl's ponytail was crooked, and if it weren't for Chris, she might have charged so mindlessly.
Two guards were standing sideways confusedly, they tried to step forward to help, but were afraid to get in the way.
Samuel stepped forward, waved his hand at the guard, then looked at Chris who was still calm and asked, "What's the matter? What are they arguing about?"
"Samuel, finally you come!"
Emma saw Samuel's sudden appearance and this immediately eased her anger. She then looked at the car, and shook her head sadly. "I wanted to discuss something with you, but... maybe I didn't come at the right time!"
At this moment, Merry stomped her foot on the ground angrily. She shouted sarcastically. "What do you mean coming at the wrong time? This is my house, you can't come!"
"Merry!"
Samuel shouted, then walked over to Emma first and followed her gaze to the shattered windshield. "Did Merry destroy it?"
Emma nodded with pursed lips, and said in a sad tone, "I haven't seen her for a few days, how come she can be so angry at me? Samuel, she's still very young, but she's too impulsive when it comes to things. If it weren't for the quick response from my driver, I would..."
Hearing this, Samuel turned around and wanted to scold Merry, but he found that Chris had taken Merry with him. When they got into the car, they didn't even greet him, and drove through the gates.
Samuel hadn't said anything yet, so his rebuke just froze in his mouth.
He looked back, sighed, and then asked Emma, "Why are you looking for me?"
Emma narrowed her eyes faintly. Whether it was her instinct or not, she felt that Samuel didn't mean to invite her this time.
Emma didn't care, she raised her hand to brush the messy hair around her ears, and then said in a slightly pampered tone. "What are you doing today? I just came to your company, but your people said that you didn't go to work. I'm a little worried about you, did something happen at your house? Samuel, if you have any trouble, you can tell me and I will help you!"
Her affectionate tone made Samuel's facial expression twitch.
He held back all his emotions and stared at the woman in front of him for a moment.
The reminder and reprimand that Chris had given him a few days ago echoed in his ears.
Did the woman who had been buried in his heart for so many years really want Merry's kidney?
It wasn't that he didn't believe in Chris, but that he didn't want to accept this fact.
Samuel still had the last trace of faith in Emma within his heart, as if he was deceiving himself and wanted to maintain the status quo.
The man was silent for a long time, and so Emma started to panic under Samuel's sharp gaze.
She fiddled with her hair again, her eyes evasive as she asked, "Samuel, why don't you speak?"
Samuel came back to his senses suddenly, and he cleared his throat immediately. "There's nothing at home, you don't have to worry. Did you come just because of this?"
Emma's eyes deepened. Seeing that he was unwilling to tell the truth, she also changed the subject smoothly.
"I came here today to ask about the thing we discussed before. Have you considered it?"
