Chapter 977 - Whats Her Real Purpose?
Chapter 977 - Whats Her Real Purpose?
Outside the hall, Emma got into the car with a desperate look.
When the car's door closed, all of her emotions immediately disappeared.
The driver took his eyes off the rearview mirror and asked anxiously, "Madam, are you alright?"
Emma shook her head, and took a deep breath. "Check if Merry has friends other than Anna!"
"Understood!"
Emma leaned back in the chair, her face filled with exhaustion. "Go back to the hotel, then call Anna and tell me I have something to do and have to go first!"
"Yes ma'am!"
As the car slowly left the gates of the Hiroshi family's house, another luxury car came swiftly from the opposite side.
...
Without any problem, the luxury car was parked in front of the entrance hall of the house.
Chris leaned over and got out of the car, slamming the door quickly, and walked into the living room.
At this time, Samuel heard footsteps and glanced casually. When he saw Chris' figure, he was shocked. "Why are you here?"
Chris looked serious as he stood in the living room, then he walked over to him. "Is something wrong?"
Samuel raised his eyebrows in surprise. "What did you hear?"
"Anna texted me, she asked me to come here ASAP!" Chris pulled the corners of his lips, and a worried expression appeared at the bottom of his eyes."What about Merry?"
Coincidentally, Merry and Erika had just appeared on the stairs.
"Brother Chris?" When Merry saw Chris, she immediately looked relieved to see someone she knew.
She let go of Erika, quickly ran down the stairs, and curled her lips as she stood in front of him. "Did you also hear about the truth of my life?"
Chris. "?"
He saw Merry's sad expression and turned to Samuel. "Did you tell her?"
All of Samuel's friends knew that Merry was the daughter who had been brought back from the orphanage when the man was 18.
But everyone kept this a secret without ever mentioning it.
No wonder Anna sent him a message, it seemed... the little girl found out about it!
Samuel met Chris' suspicious gaze and didn't know how to speak for a while.
Erika broke the mood in time. "Chris, how about you take Merry out for some fresh air? Let her tell you the truth."
Chris licked his lips, nodded and agreed. "Okay."
When the words fell, he took the girl's hand very naturally and walked slowly into the courtyard outside.
After seeing this, Samuel inexplicably felt that the two were too intimate, but before he could remind him, Erika had stood in front of him.
She glanced at the teacup that broke on the ground, crouched down while looking at her skirt, picked up the shard with her fingertips, and asked, "She's back, how do you plan for the future?"
Samuel looked at Erika lowering her head while continuing to pick up the debris and didn't answer. Instead, he reminded her. "Erika, let the maids take care of it, be careful with your hands!"
Hearing this, Erika smiled bitterly at the rubble in her palm. "It's okay, I have some free time too."
She wasn't used to fighting with her husband, she had been used to playing the dutiful and dignified wife for so many years. But in fact… she was also very tired!
At this moment, Samuel didn't seem to notice her tone.
He held his forehead with one hand and was silent for a few seconds. Then he said, "She won't change anything, don't think too much about it. She just wants to take Merry away, and has no other intention."
Erika suddenly stopped from picking up the shatters, she cast her gaze downwards to cover the bitterness of her eyes.
Did he think that she was worried her position as the wife of the Hiroshi family would be taken over?
Erika raised her head weakly, and watched Samuel's face.
They slept in the same bed for almost twenty years, but in the end, she didn't know what he wanted.
Emma, ??a woman who has been hiding in her husband's heart for years….
Even if she had appeared so dramatically after so long, was it true that there was no happiness in this man's heart?
Thinking of this, Erika shook her head and laughed.
She held the shards in her hand, slowly stood up, and looked at Samuel's figure for a long time.
Then, she just turned around and left.
She looked at the shards in her hands as she walked, her heart exactly the same as the shards.
Is it time to let Samuel go?!
...
Outside the house, Chris took Merry into the courtyard.
They were quite a distance from the building, and except for the occasional security guards patrolling, no one was there.
Chris sat on the ground, pulling Merry to his side, letting her lean her back against his chest.
In front of them was a beautiful artificial lake, and as the sky was getting darker, the dim yellow lights around seemed to cover the world with a hint of beauty.
Chris hugged Merry with both hands, stroked her hair, and whispered, "Tell me, what happened?"
Merry leaned against Chris, and she could even clearly hear the still air flowing.
She looked at him, and then turned her face to look at the lake. "I thought big brother already knew!"
Chris curled his lips and stroked the back of her head again. "I don't know much, so let's talk!"
After hearing this, the little girl did not hesitate anymore, then lowered her head while pulling the grass clippings, pouring out all the things that had just happened.
In the end, she pursed her lips and concluded. "To be honest, my biological mother shouldn't have come on her own and asked me to come with her."
Chris nodded in agreement. "That doesn't sound unreasonable."
After listening to everything, even though his face looked normal, he sneered in his heart.
In this world, love was never without a reason!
If she really wanted to take Merry back, as Emma said, it shouldn't have happened 22 years later.
Everyone involved in this story has power and money, the motivation to do something can't be without reason.
Chris sighed seeing the small movement in his hands. "Do you want to go back to your birth mother?"
Merry shook her head and said frankly. "Of course not, who knows what her purpose is? I can clearly see that she doesn't like me at all. Brother, you know Anna, don't you? Can you ask her what kind of person Emma is. I will also ask Anna when she returns. I have a hunch that her arrival has some other reason!"
Hearing the little girl's request, Chris laughed. "Okay I'll check it out too."
With Chris' support, Merry's mood calmed as well.
She sat on the lawn and turned around, crossing her legs to face Chris, and her dark eyes flashed a sly look. "If I take the initiative to show her that I'm fine without her and learn more about her motives, will there be any unexpected advantages?"
Chris looked at Merry who looked enthusiastic, his cold eyes narrowed slightly, then shook his head. "This is too risky, so until we find out her real purpose, I hope you don't confront her at all."
"Don't worry, I wouldn't be so stupid as to let her bully me."
