Chris put down the document in his hand when he heard the voice.
He got up and walked briskly forward. Looking into Merry's restless eyes, he furrowed his brows and said reassuringly, "What's wrong? Don't worry, tell me the details."
Merry rushed to him, picked up her phone, and explained in a panic. "I wanted to call mom, but the voice said the number has been changed, it's as if the number never existed! I called her last night, why is it suddenly like this?!"
Chris narrowed his eyes. He then hugged the little girl and patted her on the back. "Are you sure you didn't make the wrong call?"
The little girl shook her head anxiously. "I have called many times, the result is still the same."
After hearing the voice, Chris tried to calmly think about it. He then turned to the table and handed Merry his cell phone. "Try again with mine."
The little girl bit her mouth, and skillfully dialed Erika's number and turned on the speaker. This time, even Chris heard it clearly.
He calmed his heart and thought about what happened recently. In an instant, he told Merry with a steady look, "I will accompany you home."
...
Within half an hour, they rushed back to the Hiroshi family's house.
At this time, the maids and butlers were standing outside the living room. Seeing Chris and Merry, the butler stepped forward hastily. "Young master Chris, Miss, why did you come back?"
Chris looked into the living room. Before he came any closer, he smelled a strong smell of smoke in the air.
Meanwhile, Merry immediately ran inside without saying a word. She ran into the living room and saw Samuel sitting on the sofa smoking his cigar. She raised her voice and asked "Dad, there's something wrong with mom's phone number, did you know?"
Samuel spat out a mouthful of white mist, and looked at Merry through the rising smoke. "Why aren't you working? Why did you come back so soon?"
The little girl stepped forward furiously, like a small, angry kitty. Before continuing her questioning, her eyes fell on the documents placed on the edge of the table.
The words of the divorce agreement almost took her heart out of her chest.
Merry's eyes were fixed, and she looked at the paper vacantly. Her eyes filled with tears in an instant, and she mumbled chokingly, "Are you going to divorce my mother?"
Upon seeing this, Samuel quickly took the document. "Don't meddle in adults' problems, a child like you needs not to know anything."
Merry shouted with a deep cry, "This is all your fault! Don't you realize it? You're the one who made mom sad and lied to me! Mom is a good person, why did you have the heart to do all this?"
In the little girl's heart, she only had Erika as her mother.
She never thought that there would be a day when she would lose her mother.
Even though she had been crying, Merry took the document and read it. She then screamed with sobs. "She doesn't even want to see me anymore..."
At this time, Chris appeared behind Merry.
He sighed and grabbed her shoulder, patting her back gently. He took the file, and after a few glances, he looked at Samuel disapprovingly. "Brother, did you know that sister-in-law really intends to leave?"
Samuel gaped. It was hard to say, but he still rubbed his brows and reluctantly defended himself. "I don't know."
"Nonsense!" Merry cried and shouted at him. "Mother left two days ago. This agreement was also made two days ago. You must have known about this beforehand. You want to divorce mother because of that cruel woman, don't you?"
Samuel's fingers trembled while holding the cigarette. He looked at Merry coldly, rebuking her. "Merry, don't talk nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense!" The little girl covered her face, crying very sadly. "I don't care, I will go and find my mother. If she doesn't want to come back, then I will follow her and I don't want you as my father anymore!"
When those words were finished, Merry turned and ran outside. Chris looked at Samuel dissatisfied, then suddenly sighed and asked the butler to look after the little girl.
In this Hiroshi family's house, she couldn't run too far and that there would be no danger. What was more important now was to find out the details.
Chris walked forward, sat across from Samuel, and asked sharply, "Brother, did you divorce your wife for Emma's sake?"
Facing Chris' question, Samuel furrowed his brows bitterly, and replied, "I never thought of divorcing Erika for her sake!"
"Is that true?" Chris crossed his legs suspiciously. He then looked directly at Samuel and asked seriously, "No intention at all?"
Samuel continued to remain silent.
Seeing this, Chris sneered. "It seems that the intention is still there even though it is small. After all these years, you are still very attached to Emma!"
"Chris!" Samuel glanced at him, warning furiously. His fingers clasped tightly together. "I am very surprised by this incident. When Erika hadn't left, she didn't say anything to me, she looked fine. Now I want to find her as soon as possible and ask her what was going through her mind to make this divorce agreement."
What else does he need to ask?!
Chris berated Samuel in his heart. He then looked at his sad expression, and finally reminded him. "Brother, do you know the purpose of Emma's return this time?"
After hearing that voice, Samuel suddenly nodded, "I know!"
This time, it was Chris' turn to be surprised. He put his overlapping legs, supported his knees with his elbows, and asked in a high pitched tone. "How did you know?"
Samuel replied, "I heard it myself from Emma, so I knew it!"
Chris' inner eyes narrowed, and he hesitantly said with a smile, "Did she tell you that her son was sick?"
At this time, Chris stared intently at Samuel's face after speaking.
Samuel was always strong and resolute, and his IQ was very high.
But it seemed that his emotional intelligence was almost zero.
When it came to emotional matters, he was really like a child!
When Samuel heard the voice, he took out the cigar in his hand and pursed his lips "Chris, what do you want to say? Her son is indeed sick, so she told me about it personally. I know everything about the reason she suddenly came back this time. What else would you like to ask?"
This impatient and stiff tone instantly made Chris smile.
He snorted, his expression indifferent. "Since you know everything, it must be obvious. Emma's real goal in coming back was to take Merry and force her to be a kidney donor for her son!"
As he said it, the living room fell silent.
Samuel leaned forward and placed his cigar on the ashtray. He frowned. "What are you talking about?"
Without a word, Chris' bloody eyes met Samuel's cold gaze.
Sure enough, this Samuel seemed to have thought he knew everything. Therefore, Chris's words took him by surprise.
At this moment, when Samuel saw that Chris was not speaking, he immediately asked in annoyance. "Chris, what do you mean by this? Do you have any misunderstandings about Emma?"
"Fuck!" Chris exploded, gritted his teeth and sneered. "Brother, your current behavior is really that of a fool! I've never met her, where's the misunderstanding if we've never met? You never understood her true intentions from start to finish, so why do you keep defending her?"
In the face of Chris' unusual ridicule, Samuel's expression was also very ugly. "What do you mean by saying that I continue to defend her? Chris, we are all brothers, even if you want to help Erika, you don't have to accuse Emma like that!"
"Her son is sick and has an incurable disease.. The reason why she came back was to make up for her mistake and the time she lost with Merry because she didn't want to die alone in the future. What's wrong with that?!"
