Maggie Emond was now in Bridgedale, and Eric didn’t intend to trouble her to come there again.
The cell phone rang suddenly, and a six-year-old boy picked up the cell phone he had placed on the table and handed it to Eric.
“Uncle Eric, did your girlfriend call you?”
Eric took the phone over and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was the video call from Maggie.
Eric walked towards the balcony and closed the partition door between the balcony and the room.
A group of children didn’t even try to hide it, they just lay on the glass door, staring at him, watching the excitement.
After Eric took the video call, Maggie’s voice came, “Eric, Happy New Year.”
Eric: “Maggie, Happy New Year! Is it night over there?”
“Yeah! I just returned to my room after dinner.” Maggie scratched her head, “I really have a big head. Just now a bunch of relatives came and asked me when I will get married with you.”
Eric smiled and said, “What a coincidence, my relative came to my house today and asked me this question.”
Maggie joked, “Why don’t we just get married?”
The smile on Eric’s face froze, and after a few seconds, he said, “I’m not ready for marriage yet. It’s more comfortable to be alone.”
“Have you chatted with Layla? She was so angry last time, and I don’t know if her anger has subsided.” Maggie sat down on the small sofa, picked up a water glass and took a sip of water.
Eric said shyly, “I didn’t dare to contact her.”
Maggie: “Are you so cowardly? What are you afraid of, at worst, you will be scolded by her.”
“The main reason is that being scolded can’t change anything, I’m afraid she will become more and more angry.” Eric knew Layla’s character too well.
