Five minutes later, Simon had already put on the bathrobe he picked up from the kitchen floor and was staring at the knife in his hand with a solemn gaze.Erin came back just in time to see that. Holding the keys in one hand and the ravioli she forgot downstairs earlier in the other, she shouted in fear, "Stop right there!"She immediately threw the insulated food jar away and rushed toward Simon, snatching the knife away from him at lightning speed. Feeling heartbroken and sorry for him, she said, "Why are you so foolish? You're an accomplished young man, yet you actually thought of killing yourself? Simon, do you not feel ashamed? What's the big deal? You just had slightly indifferent parents and a brother who's a little heartless … What's that got to do with you? You still lived your life well, so why should you let these people who didn't love you affect your life? If I were you, I absolutely won't choose to kill myself! That's a huge insult to life!"Simon frowned a little as h
Ten minutes later, they finished almost all the food.Simon asked with a teasing gaze, "Erin, what are you doing to do about the mark on your neck? How about I just tell Chandler that we've slept together?"Erin choked on her water after hearing his nonsense and got completely flushed. She coughed so hard that she was in tears.Simon walked over to pat her on the back, looking a little guilty for teasing her. For some reason, he seemed to have taken on a casual attitude toward Erin ever since he found out he was Chandler's brother. Perhaps it should be said that he was more willing to get close to her.While Erin coughed, she was thinking of a way to deal with the situation. If Chandler had found out what Simon had done, would they get into a fight on an impulse?Damn it! Erin frowned and said, "I'll get a deep tissue massage when I return to cover up the crime you've committed. Listen to me, Simon! My tolerance for you is zero now, so if this were to happen again, I'll exaggera
Two days later, Chandler arrived at the Frost residence at 6 pm. They were there to attend the family dinner organized by Quentin.They were busy dealing with Cherry's and Gavin's cases earlier, so they had already rejected the invitation twice.Cherry had won her case, so when Quentin invited them again, Chandler agreed. It would be rude if he rejected his father the third time.Quentin did not invite his second ex-wife, Vanda, and his brother, Andrew, to this family dinner this time. He did not even invite Simon either, even though he had already come clean with him.Chandler and Erin had a great mutual understanding to not bring Asa with them. They did not want their son to be involved in such a suffocating family dinner.Erin felt the hand that was holding hers was a little cold, so she glanced at him before they entered the villa.Chandler lowered his head a little and looked at her from the corner of his eye as well. He felt the encouragement and support from Erin's eyes, a
Chandler's answer immediately made Clifford burst out laughing. After a few laughs, he looked at Erin in surprise and asked, "Mrs. Frost, are you still living in ancient times? You actually need your husband to answer the question for you?"Clifford was wearing a dark purple shirt and suit from a luxury brand, and his exquisite black tie had a gold skull that was embroidered by hand. His shoulder-length hair was in a striking dark purple, and he was wearing purple contact lenses. He had red lips below his sharp nose, and they could even tell that he was wearing a light layer of rose lipstick.His demeanor and the androgynous way he dressed made Chandler feel extremely disgusted. Clifford got overly friendly with Erin and made an outrageous request, so Chandler could not help but decide on behalf of Erin. He also knew that Erin was slightly troubled and could not answer such a question quickly.Facing such a malicious question from Clifford, Erin said calmly, "Thank you for your ki
Five minutes later, Chandler hung up. Erin was in the front passenger seat, so she heard his conversation with Barney.She looked to her side and asked, "Chandler, do you think something has happened to Alana and Angela?"Seeing Erin looking concerned, Chandler raised his eyebrow and asked, feeling amused, "Wifey, did you suffer memory loss or something? Have you forgotten how Alana treated you?"What he said made her feel helpless, and she let out a sigh. "It's all in the past now, so I'll just forget it. We'll just not have contact with one another in the future. But their father has asked you for help, and I believe he should have sent people out to look for them. I think he is counting on you because he knows you have ways to find them. Let's help him find them. We're parents ourselves, so we would be able to understand what he is feeling."Erin's words made Chandler let out a self-deprecating laugh. "I don't have superpowers! I couldn't even find you back then, so why would Ba
Asa's unusual behavior stunned Chandler and Erin.Hearing his son speaking so rudely to Yvette, Chandler's gaze darkened, and he asked, "Asa, how could you be so disrespectful to Aunt Yvette?"Yvette already got up from the couch at that moment. Her expression changed a little when she saw Chandler and Erin return home early, but she forced herself to smile calmly and asked, "Chandler, why are both of you back so early?"She thought they would only be home an hour later.Erin explained, "We left early without having dinner at the Frost residence. We wanted to grab a bite at a restaurant, but something came up; so we came home instead."Alana and Angela's disappearance made them change their minds about going to a restaurant."Oh, I see … Chandler, don't blame Asa. He just misunderstood me earlier. It's fine. There's no need to take what a child says seriously when he is throwing a tantrum."Yvette crouched down to pick up the photos very naturally, and she even deliberately turn
At 3 am, two women had been locked up at a camp near a private diamond mine abroad for three days. They were Angela and Alana.Ever since Chandler made a public statement saying he was no longer friends with Alana, Angela brought her sister along and went on a trip.Unlike the past vacations, they did not choose to go on luxurious trips where they shopped till they dropped this time. They chose to travel to free their souls. They went to places in nature that were barely developed.Three days ago, they arrived at a diamond mine. Before they arrived, the mine was still a public area because of its treacherous terrain. Some local villagers had tried to look for diamonds there, but after a few people died, the villagers stayed far away from the mine.After Alana was provoked by Chandler, she mentioned to her sister that she wanted to go on an adventure. Angela would do whatever her sister said just to make her forget all the unhappy things that had happened, so both of them climbed do
Two days later, at 3 pm, Erin and Chandler sat in a car that was located in an open parking lot. The sunlight shone brightly, accompanied by a gentle breeze. It was late autumn then. Soon, winter would come.Chandler looked at the row of villas which were in warm tones ahead of them. They were at a high-end recuperation center for the city's elite individuals.He glanced sideways at Erin and whispered, "Are you really not going in?"Erin had been conflicted, but she made a decision the moment he asked her that question. She said, "Chandler, Alana wants to see you. If I go too, she may be unhappy. What they've encountered overseas isn't something any ordinary person can bear. Besides their family, I think they need support from their best friends. Roman has put aside work to keep them company. You should do the same for the next few days too."Pausing slightly, Erin continued seriously, "Although Alana made a mistake previously, I think she regrets it by now. Let's give her another
