Chapter 380: Clearing the Misunderstanding

"Then tell me everything… lying to me will just make things more complicated."

Elle's body stiffened and she froze on the spot after hearing that familiar voice. It came from Erick.

'Erick?! How long has he been standing there?' Elle thought to herself. 

She was at a loss for words. When she turned to Mr. Carter, he was already grinning from ear to ear, indicating that he already saw Erick even before he reached them.

Erick immediately grabbed her hand, facing Mr. Carter.

"Mr. Carter, I am sorry to interrupt the two of you, but can I borrow and take my wife for a moment? She and I need to have a heart to heart talk right now." Erick politely said to Mr. Carter.

Mr. Carter burst out laughing before waving his hands nonchalantly.

"Shooh! Shooh! Go ahead and take her. I think you have a lot of things to discuss." Mr. Carter replied with a wide grin on his face.

"Elle, remember what I have told you," he added, winking at her.
