Eric didn’t even know how he drove back to the Sunshine Villa.
When they got off the car, Erika saw him and felt sorry for him, letting out a sigh. She put her chubby hand on his shoulder and tried to comfort him, sounding like an adult. "As an old saying goes, you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs. Now that you’ve lost five million, something good will definitely happen in your life. Don’t be too sad."
As if he found a straw to clutch at, Eric looked anxiously at Erika with imploring eyes. "little lady Joanna, can you figure it out for me? I don’t want anything good in my life to happen. I just want my five million back!"
Sebastian called Eric’s name warningly as soon as Eric said that. Obviously, Sebastian was annoyed.
Sebastian buttoned up Erika’s coat for her slowly. His fingers looked so fair and slender against those green buttons.
Sebastian didn’t say anything, but Eric came to his senses.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Grant." Eric dropped his eyes. "I was too upset just now. That won’t happen again."
Eric was too distressed to think straight now. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have gone so far as to believe little lady Joanna would be able to solve his problem.
This was nothing but a coincidence!
Thinking so, Eric opened the door for Sebastian and Erika at once before driving away.
Erika stared at the car for a while and looked back at the building in front of her.
"Let’s go," Sebastian said in a low voice.
Erika, however, stood still and was unwilling to go. "I can sense the gloom in the house, and I don’t want to get in."
Something ominous would happen if she got into that gloomy house!
"The gloom? What do you mean?" Sebastian knit his brows.
Erika pointed at somewhere not far away and explained, "There. It comes from there."
