Avenger's coming back novel Chapter 149

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.
