My Supermodel Wife

Rufina said it while looking at Merry.

After seeing this, Chris didn't hide it. He said bluntly with a smile, "Yes, sorry for troubling you, auntie. She is always impulsive. This time, to find her mother, she ran to your house without permission and has disturbed the peace. I am really sorry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Merry looked at Rufina sweetly. "Not only did I find my mom, but also a grandpa and grandma! Even though it's impulsive, it's not bad, right, granny?"

Rufina's smile deepened. Looking at Merry's smiling face, she said a little angrily, "You really are a sweet talker!"

Some people are born close to the talent of being liked by others, and this is typical of the little girl.

Such an exchange actually surprised Chris and Samuel.

At first, they were worried that Merry would disturb the Laibahas family and anger the two elders.

But now it looks like that's not the case at all!

After a while, Gilbert blew his teacup twice before saying, "Ivan, you can take Erika and the girl for a walk. I have something to talk with Chris."

"Okay."

Ivan glanced at Samuel suddenly, then took Erika and Merry.

At this moment, Samuel saw Erika's figure and hesitated to speak.

His smoldering gaze locked onto her figure, and he was so familiar with her every move, but Samuel couldn't get a loving gaze from that woman.

From the moment he entered the door, Erika seemed to have excluded him from her world.

This shame of being ignored made Samuel feel like he was sitting on a needle.

He was eager to even step forward to hug her, and talk about everything honestly.

However, even until he saw Erika pull Merry away, he failed to muster up the courage to call out to her. 

The attitude of the two Laibahas family elders towards him clearly showed that they didn't want him here.

With them around, Samuel didn't dare to act rashly.

After Ivan and the others had gone, Gilbert sipped his tea and talked again. "Chris, I don't know what the man next to you wanted that he dared to come to my house."

At this moment, Samuel heard Gilbert's question sharply. He didn't care about his face, so he offered himself. "Uncle, I am Merry's father, my name is Samuel and I'm Erika's husband. I..."

"Husband?" Rufina forcefully interrupted these words. "When did our daughter get married? Why didn't I, her mother, know about it???"

Even though Chris sympathized with Samuel, he could only use the silence as encouragement.

After all, this was what he had to face.

Samuel's words immediately caught in his throat. Facing Rufina's question, he couldn't find a suitable reason to answer.

Gilbert looked at him with a deep gaze from the side, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said earnestly, "We don't care about you. Since you are here to pick up your daughter, take her and leave from here. Although the Laibahas family is not a rich and powerful family, we have always had a strict family education."

"We have also heard that our daughter Erika has raised a daughter for someone else without permission. But considering our relationship with Chris' family, the Laibahas won't investigate it. So I suggest you keep what you want to tell us and never come near our family again. Erika never told us that she has a husband!" 

Those words made Samuel's face sink deeply.

In his life, he had never been so shy and nervous.

At this moment, seeing the expressions of the two elders of the Laibahas family being extremely displeased, Chris had to help him. "Uncle, aunt, this matter has a long story. Why don't we sit down and exchange stories first and let my brother go outside for a breath of fresh air? From a mistake, there must be a plausible explanation for it, right? What do you think?"

Even though Chris was right, the two elders of the Laibahas clearly weren't easy to fool.

Rufina looked at Samuel nonchalantly, her eyes blank. "Since we've forgiven his mistakes, why should we continue?"

At this moment, Samuel's forehead was already drenched in cold sweat.

Gilbert even repeated, "Indeed, we don't plan on making this up anymore, so this friend of yours doesn't have to worry anymore!"

The attitude of these two elders showed how much they hated Samuel.

At this moment, Samuel was panting heavily, curled up and loosened his fingertips. "Erika and I are not divorced. Currently, we are still legally husband and wife. I don't know what Erika has said, but in order to clear up the misunderstanding between me and her, please give me a chance to explain it clearly."

Upon hearing this, Gilbert and Rufina's eyes met, both of them then looked at Samuel with disdain.

This man… who had taken Erika away for twenty years, was completely clueless!

In the end, he let their daughter go home alone, no matter what hardships Samuel went through, this man was not worthy of forgiveness.

Not long after, Rufina turned her head and looked out the window. In the depths of the green garden, she saw Erika smiling and saying something to Merry.

A woman's smile would shine most beautifully when she was with her child.

Even if she hadn't seen her recently, she knew very well. But if her daughter wasn't that heartbroken to leave behind her child, could Erika run back to her?

Samuel caught Rufina's gaze, and directed her gaze to the window grilles.

After a moment of silence, Gilbert patted Rufina's hand on his lap. "It's rare for Chris to come to our place, so don't worry about outsiders. I'll take him to my private office. I kept a lot of photos of his father back then."

Gilbert then stood up after speaking.

Even though Rufina didn't want to, she had no choice but to give up when she saw Gilbert shaking his head.

At this point, Chris had to leave the living room with the two elders.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to look out the window and signal to Samuel to find Erika as soon as possible.

Actions like this clearly created an opportunity for Samuel to clear up the misunderstanding.

Or maybe, to give him a chance to say goodbye!

But whatever the outcome would be, the final decision rested om with Erika.

Everyone in the Laibahas family was annoyed, but they could only do that.

… 

After Chris and the two elders left, in the quiet living room, Samuel sat alone for a long time.

He couldn't explain the complex feelings in his heart clearly, and a suffocating emotion welled up in his chest, making him unable to breathe.

Outside the window, bursts of crisp laughter rang in his ears, startling Samuel's confused mind back.

He slowly stood up, and his gaze fell on Erika's body.

He had gone a thousand miles away, and by the time he saw her, he could only freeze.

Samuel slowly closed his eyes, and after exhaling several times, he went outside the living room.

At this moment, Ivan saw Samuel for the first time.

He frowned sharply and looked at the other party with a cold face, "What can I do for you?"

When the words fell, Erika and Merry were both silent.

Samuel ignored Ivan's question, looked ahead with a deep gaze, and said in a low tone, "Erika, will you let me take her back with me?"
