NovelEnglish"Move, how?" Matthew asked.
"Move the recliner closer to me!" Erica said, gesturing expressively. Suddenly, she shrieked and leapt in the air as if a firecracker had gone off. "Ahhhhhhh, it's the Kuman Thong!"
Matthew stared at her with wide-eyed wonder and said, "If you're so afraid of these things, why do you even want to watch horror movies?" 'Women are such strange creatures, ' he thought.
"I'm not afraid. I've watched many horror movies before," she argued. Erica was only frightened because the surround sound system in Matthew's home theater was so rich and resonant that she was fooled into a sense of realism.
"Do you know the legend of Kuman Thong?" he asked in a graceful manner, sitting with his legs crossed.
"Of course I do. Do you know the legend of Kuman Thong? I can explain it to you if you want?" she smirked.
"Don't bother. I know enough. Just carry on with the movie as if I wasn't here," he suggested.

Secondly, she wouldn't be watching this movie in this room in the first place if someone wasn't sitting next to her.
Since Matthew had refused to move closer to her, she stood up on the recliner and stretched out her arms to the man. "I want to sit closer. Carry me over to you!" action
Matthew heaved a deep sigh, feeling defeated. With his dark eyes staring at the girl and with the help of the light from the screen, Matthew could notice the grievance on her face.
Still, he said in a cold and stiff tone, "Stay where you are!"
Erica couldn't believe her ears. 'People always say that bossy men like Matthew could be persuaded by reason but not be cowed by force. But he just turned me down without a reason. Was it because I suck at playing cute or that trick just doesn't work on him?'
His response stung Erica's heart for a while, but she wasn't going to give up. "If you don't carry me over to your side, I'm going to call your dad," she threatened.
"That trick again?"
"I'll tell him that you would rather embrace another woman than your wife..." And then she watched with amusement as Matthew, who looked solemn, got up from his seat and walked towards her.
With hints of reluctance, he scooped her into his warm arms and said, "Don't do this again."
"Okay!" she promised readily.
When they sat down, she found a comfortable position in his arms.

ttered her eyes open.
She looked around the spacious room, puzzled and somewhat dazed. After a while, she took out her phone and texted Matthew on WeChat. "Why am I in bed?"
"You're asking me?" he replied.
Erica squeezed the toothpaste tube from the top and brushed her teeth, while she tapped on the phone screen with one finger. "Who else should I be asking?"

Erica tried to recall the events from the night before. Why couldn't she remember how she got from the recliner to her bed?
After a rather short breakfast, Erica hurried outside as Hyatt was waiting for her at the school gate. He stood there with a camera hanging around his neck, equipped with a lens he would specifically use for photographing people.
Erica was just as prepared as Hyatt. She asked the chauffeur to drop her off at the school gate so she could walk inside with Hyatt with her camera.
"Erica, are you going to the live-action photographing event today?" Hyatt asked.
"Yes, of course!" It sounded like a fantastic event to learn and have fun in with fellow photography enthusiasts. There was no way Erica would pass on such an opportunity!
"But I heard that Aaron would be visiting ZL Group today. I think his schedule in Y City will conflict with our photography event. What should we do?"
It was a little known fact that Erica had many idols, but Aaron, in comparison to the others, was like a demigod to her. Everyone knew that about Erica.
"What? He is going to ZL Group?" 'Wait a minute! Isn't that my husband's company?' Erica cooked up a plan in her head and made a decision.
