Chapter１２

"Good boy, are you exhausted on this journey? Thank you for sending Judy back, I'm gonna prepare lunch, join us before leaving!"

"Mom!!" I just wanted to say how he, a big CEO, would be willing to eat ordinary people's food.

But Eric was very happy, "Thanks and I would like to very much."

Anni enthusiastically went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Eric didn't regard himself as a stranger at all. He wandered around in the living room, even groping around. He was as curious as a baby.

"What is this?" Eric asked a shabby plush toy on the sofa. I nervously stepped forward and snatched it away.

"This hairy doll is important to you? It was given by your ex-boyfriend?"

"Of course not! This is my first birthday present. It's too old. I'm worried you will break it." I patted the doll and put it back on the sofa carefully.

Eric smiled and whispered in my ear, "Compared with it, I still like your birthday present this year."

I really rolled my eyes at him, what a stuck-up guy!

"This photo is good!" While talking, Eric fiddled the photos of my childhood. Oh my God, there were so many memories of me in the photos. I wanted to take it back, but Eric raised the album and kept flipping through it, but I couldn't get it when I jumped up.

"Who allowed you to look through other people's privates?!"

Eric finished looking through the album and handed it back to me, "There are so many photos of you , you looked way cuter back then."

Eric looked at me smugly, as if he was looking at the three-year-old me. This made me feel uneasy.

"What to look at!"

Eric raised his eyebrows. "You look good!"

"That is, I have participated in a beauty pageant, look! Trophy!"

I pointed to the beauty pageant trophy on the bookshelf.

Eric looked at the words on the trophy carefully, a"It looks like you were a beauty when you were a kid."

I couldn't hold back it, and even looked dumbfounded.

Anni’s voice came from the kitchen,

“Judy, go get a bottle of wine from the cellar. Let Eric have a taste of wine brewed at our very own vineyard!”

Eric did not wait for me to answer, answered first, "Looks like I’m one lucky guy today... I’ll get to taste both your delicious food and your exclusive wine."

Anni walked out of the kitchen happily, " Eric, you're right . My cooking goes best with the wine I brew. It'll be unforgettable."

I didn't expect that a rich man like Eric would get along so well with Anni. Seeing my mother winking secretly at me, I knew she had a misunderstanding.

"Judy, why don’t you bring Eric to our cellar and let him choose something he likes."

I wanted to refuse, but Eric didn't give me a chance. He held my shoulder generously and pushed me towards the door. "Don't worry Anni, we will pick a good bottle of wine."

The wine cellar is very old and the lights are a bit dim.

I can't help thinking, why does this man have to come with me wherever I go, should I scare him?

Eric's taste was great, and we quickly selected suitable wines. But there was a little trouble when I left, the lock of the wine cellar door got stuck . After all, after the earthquake some time ago, my mother had not had time to repair everything.

Eric frowned. He is claustrophobic. Being trapped in this kind of place, he is very uncomfortable. "Call Anni?"

I pushed the door hard and shook my head. "The kitchen is on the other side, she can't hear it at all."

Eric stepped forward nervously and pushed me away, "I will try to kick the door open."

I looked at the way he wanted to kick the door, I was so scared that I couldn’t speak,

"Don't! If you get injured, I won't be responsible. Relax, Anni would come looking for us later if she doesn’t 't see us."

Eric had no choice but to give up. He tried to divert his attention to alleviate his fear, "Then what are we doing now?"

"Eric, I came home for some reason, and would stayfor many days this time. I don't have time to take care of you." Now this opportunity is right to talk to him about something serious.

Eric stretched his arms, "I can take care of you."

"Then what about your company?" He is the president. The company needed him.

Eric smiled, "If I have to watch my company 24/7 for it to run, then what is the use of the managers?"

Eric's smirked. I knew that he couldn't listen to my persuasion at all,.

"All right, but, I’m warning you, don’t say anything inappropriate to Anni!"
