NovelEnglishBefore going home, Erica sent a message to Matthew in advance. "Honey, I've sent you a package. It should be delivered to you this afternoon. Could you sign it yourself when it comes?"
"What is it?" 'Why do I need to sign it myself?' Matthew wondered.
Erica smiled full of mystery even though he couldn't see her. "It's a secret! I'll only tell you that I bought it for you. Now please, spare a few minutes to go downstairs and sign to get it, okay?"
With a helpless sigh, he yielded, "Okay."
Around four in the afternoon, Matthew received a call. Picking up the phone, he heard a man's voice. "Hello, is this Mr. Matthew Huo?"
"Yes."
"I have a package that needs your signature. I'm on the ground floor of your company."

Once the busy Owen saw his boss, he interrupted his work and asked, "Mr. Huo, are you leaving for the Yuan Group now?" According to the CEO's schedule, they would leave for the Yuan Group in ten minutes.
However, Matthew shook his head and replied, "No, I'm going downstairs to get a package."
'A package?' Owen looked at him in astonishment. Yet he wasn't the only one. All the special assistants on that floor seemed shocked.
Why would the CEO personally sign and fetch the package? Paige followed him in panic. "Mr. Huo, allow me to go and get it for you."
Unexpectedly, Matthew refused her, "No, thanks. You guys may carry on with your work."
Paige didn't know what to say. Stopping in her tracks, she watched Matthew get in the elevator by himself.
On the ground floor of the company, Matthew felt a bit lost.
He had never taken an express package himself, so he had no idea where to pick it up. With no other choice, he asked the security guard about it and was quickly guided to the mailroom.
By the time he got there, Matthew saw no sign of the postman.
He looked around and all but didn't see anyone who resembled a mail carrier.
Taking out his phone, he was about to call back the number which he had picked up in his office when someone unexpectedly rushed towards him.
"Honey!"
With no time to put his phone away, his first reaction was to hug the woman who had her arms around his neck.
Holding her tightly, Matthew couldn't help laughing. "Is this the package you mentioned?"
iately. How could their father not take them to see the pandas?

Damian told him gently, "Dad, we just want to have a look at the pandas. It won't take you too long."
Trying his best to calm himself down, Matthew lowered his head and explained, "I never blamed your mom. Don't worry. Come with me now. I'll take you in."
"Okay!" Relieved to hear that their father wasn't angry, the four kids surrounded him promptly.
In the living area of the pandas, they came across the words carved on the stone board.
Looking at it, Boswell muttered, "Lili, Riri, Kaka... Dad, your name is on the board. Are these three pandas yours?"
The man nodded in response.
Upon learning the truth about the pandas, Colman ran over to his father. "Dad, we like them so much. Can we go in and have a look? Can we hug them too?"
Matthew shook his head and answered in a serious tone, "No matter how cute a panda is, it still belongs to the bear family. These are three adult animals, and they can be aggressive. But I'll take you to see the baby pandas. They are more docile, and you'll be able to hug them."
The boys were looking forward to having a panda in their arms. Whether it was a baby or an adult one, it didn't matter. So, with a nod, they agreed in unison, "Okay, okay!"
At the end of their visit, Matthew did as he promised and took his four sons to another house, where the baby pandas were. Standing aside, he watched as the kids played with the cubs.
