Chapter 476
— Because I lost your passport and I’m reapplying for you.
‘How can you?’
‘Unfortunately, I’m busy these days, so for now I don’t have time to accompany you on your passport application. Just a gentle reminder, before we get a new passport, please stay home. Don’t blame me if you get caught by the police as an illegal immigrant.
With that, Eric hung up and left me scolding the phone.
When I heard someone knocking on the door, I heard Beverly’s voice. ‘Miss Hawkins, are you ready?’
‘Yes.’ I answered and went to open the door. ‘Let’s go.’
In her usual kind tone, Beverly kindly explained Hamburg’s customs and culture to me.
With Beverly tagging along, I bought a limited-edition combat knife and lighter.
‘Are you buying this for your husband?’ Beverly asked curiously.
Considering she knew I was married, I figured it must have been Eric who told her. Despite feeling a little upset inside, I still replied with a smile, ‘Not really. I’m buying for a friend.
“What do you intend to buy your husband, then?” In fact, the watches of this brand are very good. You can get one for your husband. Pointing to a sports watch, Beverly reminded me.
Glancing at the sports watch crafted in 18k white gold, I noticed its sapphire crystal glass, priced at eighty thousand.
It would certainly be the joke of the century if I bought Carson one of those watches. As if he deserved it! Since Beverly didn’t know my situation, I couldn’t reject her suggestion. Then again, I thought I could just buy it and gift it to Dylan or my dad. With that in mind, I bought that brand sports watch.
When I came across a Montblanc keyring, I thought of the joke about the keyring with Dylan last night. So I shopped around and bought another pen for my dad, as well as a gift for my mom and Mrs. Fant.
After having lunch with Beverly, I felt so tired from shopping that I went back to my room to rest.
When I woke up, it was already night. Once I got downstairs, I didn’t see Beverly anywhere, just Sharon. Seeing me, she poured me a glass of juice. As I thanked her, I asked, ‘Sharon, where is Ms. Deering?’
‘Beverly left and won’t be back for dinner.’ Noticing how intimately Sharon addressed Beverly, I could imagine how close their relationship was.
it was.
I nodded in response as Sharon sat across from me. “I hear you’re married, Ms. Hawkins, is it true?
‘Yes it is true.’ I smiled.
‘But you look so young; why did you get married so early?
‘I’m not young anymore. I’m actually twenty-seven this year,” I replied with a smile.
‘You are one year younger than Young Master Eric, but you are already married. Furthermore, our young master still doesn’t have a girlfriend.’ It seemed that Sharon was quite worried about Eric.
With a smile, I said, ‘President Walker is handsome and admired by many, so I’m sure many girls will look forward to marrying him.’
Hearing this, Sharon laughed. Glancing at the clock on the wall, she said, ‘It’s getting late. Since Young Master Eric won’t be back for dinner, how about that! serve you dinner now? And guess what? I prepared a delicious roast pork.’

Chapter 476
With that, Sharon went to serve dinner and I followed her into the cafeteria.
Without eating much for dinner, I went for an evening walk in the garden and then returned to my room.
Turning on my computer, I looked up a horror drama series and started watching. The plot of the drama was very interesting as I watched one episode after another, so without me noticing it, I had already finished up to four episodes. Feeling thirsty, I went downstairs to get a drink.
As soon as I poured myself a glass of water, I heard the squeal of tires on the porch of the car. Tilting my head, I saw Eric supporting Beverly, who was barely able to walk straight.
With her face all scarlet and dazed, it looked like Beverly was quite drunk, as she was already half leaning against Eric.
