Avenger's coming back novel Chapter 178

"Eric." Lily called his name and turned her body. Out of the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Richard, as if she was afraid that he would rush over to grab her phone.

"Uncle Richard is here with me. He is very anxious and worried about you. He wants to know your whereabouts..."

She said that on purpose. She believed that Eric would know what she meant.

On the other side of the phone, Eric kept silent for a while. Then he said, "Girl, give your phone to my father and I'll talk to him for a while."

"Okay." Lily breathed a sigh of relief. He knew what she meant.

Walking to the front of Richard, Lily handed the phone to him and said, "Uncle, Eric has something to tell you."

It seemed that he couldn't believe it. It took him a while to react. He was so excited that he took Lily's phone and said, "Hello… Where are you, Eric? Where is your mother? How is she now? Is she with you?"

Perhaps it was because he was too anxious and his question was a little messy.

"Dad..." Eric's voice was very calm, "We are all good. Mom is with me, she..."

"Let her answer the phone, Eric." Richard interrupted Eric and said anxiously, "I have something to tell her. Please let her answer the phone."

"Dad." Eric said in a more serious tone.

Hearing his son's tone, Richard realized that he was too anxious, so he stopped talking.

"Dad, what you should do now is not to find mom and me." Eric's voice was heard again, "And I won't tell you where we are. What you should do most now is how to deal with the present matter, and how to arrange the mother and son."

"Eric, I..." Richard wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Eric on the phone.

"I know grandpa is very determined, but you are the backbone of this matter. What to do, how to arrange, these things should be done by you, not let Grandpa make the decision."

Listening to his son quietly, Richard calmed down.

"Although I'm disappointed that you have an illegitimate child, you're my father after all. I just hope that you can deal with this matter well and don't give others any chance. Dad, have you ever thought carefully why they appear at this time? Have you ever thought that if our family breaks up because of this matter, who will benefit in the end?"

Hearing that, Richard's eyes widened subconsciously. He stood up and walked out of the hall with his mobile phone. Although no one could hear the sound from the phone, he still chose to go to a place with few people and didn't stop until he reached the front yard.

On the other side of the phone, Eric continued, "I'm not deceiving others, but people always try to bully me. Dad, after all, it's us who have blocked the interests of others, and I won't say who this person is. Think about it yourself. Don't doubt what your son has said. From beginning to end, I hope our family can be harmonious. As for the matter of mother and son, you should also deal it well. So that you can explain it to mom and me."

"Eric, I will explain it to you." Said Richard hurriedly.

"Okay, I'll be back in two days. At that time, I'll listen to your explanation in person. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

"Wait..." "Eric, I want to hear your mother's voice."

"She's fine. Give her a few days to be quiet. I'll call you when she wants to talk to you."

"I..." Before he could finish his words, the phone had been hung up. He could only look at the phone in a daze.

"Uncle." At this time, Lily walked behind him and asked with concern, "What did Eric say?"

Richard, who had already calmed down, turned around and looked at her, with a bitter smile on his face. "I have lived half a life, but in the end, I am not as good as my own son."

Then he gave the phone back to Lily and said with a smile, "Lily, you helped us a lot. Since Eric knew you, he has changed. That's why I don't know the real him until now."

Lily took over the phone and found that it was still a little hot. She didn't know what Eric had said on the phone, but she knew that he must have said a lot of touching words, or Richard wouldn't have said such words.

"In fact, Eric has always been very sensible, but he never showed it before."

Richard patted her on the shoulder and gave her a meaningful look. "You are the one who made him give up his lazy life. Thank you."

Lily was stunned. She didn't know what to do because of the big difference in the attitude of Richard. "Uncle Richard..."

"Don't worry. Nothing happened to Eric and his mother." Richard misunderstood her and said, "Although Eric didn't tell me where they were, he said he would be back in two days. It's time for me to deal with the matter in front of me these days."

Then he turned around and walked into the living room.

Looking at his back, Lily blinked her eyes. She was curious about what Eric had said to him, but she didn't call him to ask. Instead, she turned around and walked into the living room. At the moment she turned around, her phone rang.

She clicked on the message and found it was from Eric. It was short: very warm. Thank you, girl.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Lily's face. This was the photo she had sent to him before. He might be too busy to reply it now.

After thinking for a while, she texted back, "It will be warmer with you."

After replying, Lily stuck out her tongue and immediately put away her phone. Then she clapped her hot cheeks with both hands. At this moment, she was completely like a little girl.

When she walked into the living room, she saw that Richard was talking to Joe.

"Mr. Joe, I'm really sorry to bother you today. I'll visit you in person another day. I'm leaving today." Although he was still tired, he looked much more energetic than before.

Hearing what he said, Joe knew that he was not want to stay, so he didn't try to persuade him to stay. "You won't disturb me. I know you have something to do, so I won't ask you to stay."

After saying goodbye to Joe, Richard turned around and left without saying a word to Simon and Frank.

Both Frank and Simon were stunned. They didn't understand why he looked at them when he left. The two looked at each other and frowned at the same time.

"Lily, what's wrong with him?" Frank looked at Lily and asked. He wanted to get some information from her, because she was with him outside just now. He even saw him patting her on the shoulder and talking.

"I don't know." Lily shook her head in confusion.

"Did Eric tell him where he and aunt were?" Frank still didn't give up and asked tentatively.

"I don't know. I don't know what uncle said to Eric." Lily was telling the truth.

Since he couldn't get any answer, Frank's face darkened, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously.

At this time, Claire couldn't stand it anymore. She walked to Frank, looked at Lily and said, "Sister, Frank also cares about Eric. Why didn't you tell him?"

"I really don't know." Looking at them, an idea flashed through her mind, and she said, "And I know that Eric ran away from home because I met Mr. Frank in the mall today. He told me and I knew it."

Claire frowned and turned to Frank, "Did you go to the mall today?"

An unnatural look flashed across Frank's face. He glanced at Lily unhappily, while Lily looked surprised.

"Claire, you don't know? Mr. Frank, his distant cousin is here. She wants to stay here..."

"Lily." Frank immediately interrupted her, "If you don't know where Eric is, just tell us. We also care about him."

A sneer flashed across Lily's eyes, but she still looked calm. "If I know, I will definitely tell you. When Eric comes back later, he will definitely go back home."

"Okay." Frank nodded, but his expression was really unnatural.

But Claire was not easily fooled. She looked at Frank and asked in a questioning tone, "Distant cousin? Frank, why didn't I know you have a distant cousin? And I've never heard you mention her."

After all, Claire was still young. She didn't know how to save face for others.

But when she was about to question Frank, Lucia turned to her and winked at her, indicating her to hold back her temper.

Receiving the hint of her mother's eyes, Claire could only put up with it, but she was not reconciled. She turned her eyes and smiled. Then she had an idea.

"She… She came all of a sudden." Frank looked away and subconsciously looked at Simon and Jade.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there must be something wrong, not as simple as a distant cousin. All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the living room became a little embarrassing.

Lily looked at all this coldly and sat next to Joe as if it was none of her business. She really spilled the beans just now.

But Joe couldn't stand it anymore, he didn't want to worry about it. He turned to Lily and said, "Lily, wake me up at dinner. I'll go upstairs and have a rest."

"Okay, Grandpa. Let me help you upstairs." Lily stood up and was about to help him up.

"No." Joe dodged her hand and said, "Anyway, you are the owner of this house. Please entertain the guests here for me."

"Okay." Lily nodded obediently. It was not bad to stay here and watch the play. Well, if necessary, she could say something. After all, someone had done something bad secretly to make Eric suffer.

So, Lily sat down again, and then reached out to pick up an apple from the fruit tray on the tea table and began to eat it leisurely.
