Avenger's coming back Chapter 149 Eric’s Arrangement

After work, Eric went home early since he had no appointment with Lily. This was not the old house of
the Gu family, but the place where his parents lived.

Since they married, Angela liked a quiet life. And she didn't like the rivalry between sister-in-law and
brothers, so Richard bought a house as her request.

"Why do you come back so early today? Didn't you see Lily?" Hearing the sound of door opening,
Angela who was busy in the kitchen came out and saw it was Eric. She asked with a smile.

"I'm a little tired today, so I didn't meet her." He answered while changing his shoes in the hallway.

"You have a lot of work to do?" She asked, looking at him with concern.

"Yes." Eric changed his shoes and walked to her, pretending to ask casually, "Hasn't dad come back
yet?"

"No. He said he was busy today and might come back a little late. He asked me to cook first and let's
have dinner." Angela replied with a smile. Richard seldom came back late before, unless he was busy
with work.

There was a touch of gloom in his eyes. Eric felt something stuffy in his chest, as if his heart was
stuffed with cotton.

However, he didn't show his emotions on his face. He reached out and hugged Angela, saying like a
spoiled child, "Mom, you have to do more tonight. I'm hungry."

"Well, when did you learn to act like a spoiled child?" Angela patted her son on his arm and said,
"Okay, okay. My whole body is full of the smell of oil and smoke, but you don't mind, let go of me to
cook, and we can cook two more dishes."



"Yes." Loosening his arms, Eric fixed his eyes on her, and his heart was filled with a kind of emotion.
He lowered his head and kissed on her forehead. "I'll go back to my room to have a rest. Call me when
lunch is ready."

"Okay." Angela was quite satisfied with his son's performance today. This was the first time that he had
been so close to her, hugging and kissing her.

After returning to his room, Eric pulled his collar impatiently and then threw himself on the bed.

With his eyes blankly fixed on the ceiling, the scene that he saw this afternoon came to his mind
naturally. Since it was a little far away, he didn't see the face of that woman clearly.

Since he was a child, he knew that his father had always loved his mother deeply. His father had never
been so close to any woman, let alone physical touch. But today's scene was too strange.

With that on his mind, Eric grew impatient. He scratched his head and then he threw himself back on
the bed.

Time seemed to stand still, and the room was so quiet that only his light breathing could be heard.
Suddenly, it seemed that something came to his mind. He sat up all of a sudden, took out his mobile
phone and dialed a number without hesitation.

The phone didn't get through very soon. It was not picked up after ringing for a long time.

"Hailey, I quit this deal." Before the woman on the other end of the line opened her mouth, he had
already expressed his idea.

"Why not?" Hailey asked from the other end of the line.

"There is no reason. Don't investigate for me. As for where Ellison is, I will help you ask him. I will call
you later."



After a few simple words, he hung up the phone.

Looking at the cellphone in his hand, Eric took a deep breath.

After all, he was a little scared. He was afraid that he would find out the truth which was hard for
everyone to accept.

In the evening, Richard came back a little late. When he arrived home, it was already one o'clock in the
morning. It was the first time he came back so late since he and Angela got married.

The light in the living room was on. When he looked up, he saw Angela sleeping on the sofa.

As soon as she heard the noise, Angela woke up. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. Then she looked at
Richard and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Yes, I have." Richard replied, and his eyes were somewhat unnatural. He changed his shoes at the
vestibule, walked to her and sat down. Then he threw his briefcase away.

"Didn't I tell you that you don't need to wait for me when I come back late tonight? Why are you still
waiting in the living room?"

"I can't fall asleep without you back." Her voice sounded sort of dependent, and she softly got close to
his arms.

Richard looked down at her with mixed feelings, and then held her in his arms and said, "Good, go to
bed. I'll go take a shower and come back soon."

"Yes." Angela nodded with a red face, and then stood up to go back to the bedroom.

Looking at her walking into the room, Richard frowned and wore a guilty expression. He buried his face
in his palm and took a deep breath. He rubbed his face hard and then raised his head.



Eric had watched all this. Since the sound of the door opening, he had walked to a corner where no
one noticed him and quietly observed all these.

Subconsciously, he didn't want what he saw today to be true. But judging from his father's behavior just
now…

He felt like his heart was caught by someone and he could not breathe.

Taking a deep breath to adjust himself, Eric walked out from the dark.

"Father." He called Richard.

Hearing this, Richard was surprised. Seeing that it was Eric, he was relieved. "You haven't slept yet?"

"I can't sleep. Drink some water." While speaking, Eric poured himself a glass of water, and then went
to sit beside Richard.

Looking at his son who seemed to be in a bad mood, he asked with great concern, "What's wrong? Are
you under too much pressure recently?"

"I'm fine." He answered absent mindedly.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are too young to manage your career." Richard tried to
comfort him, but he was really satisfied with his son. Although he didn't want to make progress before
and just did nothing, recently he saw his efforts.

"Okay," replied Eric. He then took a meaningful look at his father and said, "Father, don't be too busy.
Just as you said, your career can slowly develop. Now, the health and family are the most important
things for you."

Hearing this, Richard's heart skipped a beat. He took a look at Eric and suddenly felt a little guilty.



Noticing his obvious reaction, Eric continued, "Now that I'm going to the company, you can relax
yourself. You don't have to work so late for the company affairs. Don't leave mom alone to wait for you
until the midnight."

Hearing what his son said, Richard felt more guilty. He dared not to look straight into his eyes.

"You're right. I'm really impressed." He tried to change the topic and went on, "I've also heard about
your performance in the exam. Eric, tell me the truth. Did you hide your real competence on purpose in
the past?"

"Well, I don't like to compete with others before." Eric answered briefly and then came back to the main
topic. "Dad, spare some time to travel with mom. Relax yourself. Mom has married you for so many
years, but you haven't gone on a trip yet. I've arranged everything for you. Take her out and have a
good time. Make her happy and she devoted herself to this family."

"I'm busy with my work recently. How about I take her out for a trip when I'm available?" He answered,
evading his eyes.

"Don't worry. I will arrange everything well." Giving no chance for him to refute, Eric stood up and
patted him on the shoulder, "You have to believe that your son's ability is not inferior to anyone else."

As soon as his voice fell, he walked to his own room. "Go to bed early, I am going to sleep."

At this moment, Richard did not know how to describe his mood. He could clearly feel from his son that
he seemed to have known something, but he was not sure that. Dale was too hard to deal with. She
would not leave under any conditions.

The only way to make sure that was to get Ethan back to his own family. As for this little boy who even
didn't know, it was not up to whether he would accept him or not. As for his father, he couldn't. what's



more, he didn't want her to get into the Gu family at all!

Maybe traveling would be a good idea.

Eric was a very efficient person. On the third day, he arranged the whole journey of Maldives, followed
by Paris, London.

He had arranged ten days of travel for them. Ten days later, when they came back, it was new year's
Eve, which was the day of the Spring Festival.

Angela was quite happy with this arrangement. And as for Richard, he was quite satisfied with this trip.
And now he put aside the matter of Dale.

After sending them out, Eric breathed a sigh of relief and began to consider what he should do next.

But in the afternoon, he received a phone call from the decorating people who told him the building had
been decorated according to his requirements and asked him to check it.

Perhaps this was the happiest thing he had heard since his winter vacation. As soon as he had solved
the problem of the house, he and girl would have a private space from now on.

So, he put his work aside and directly drove to the Qiao company. He planned to pick Lily up and went
there with him.

When he found Lily, she was discussing business with Emily and Joe in the office.

Seeing him coming, Joe could not help but stop talking. He looked at him and asked, "Are you here for
girl?"

"Grandpa." Eric called him with a smile, and then nodded, "Yeah, I want to take her to a place."

"Where are we going?" Lily asked.



Eric smiled mysteriously. "You will know when we get there. I promise you will like it."

"Why don't you tell me?" She gave him a reproachful look.

"I just took you there a few days ago." He smiled and turned to Joe for his opinion, "Grandpa, can I
take girl away now?"

"Go ahead, go ahead." Joe waved his hand and said, "But remember to send her back on time."

"I see. Thank you, Grandpa." As soon as his words dropped, Eric took Lily's hand and directly walked
out.

Seeing this, Joe shook his head with a smile.
