Avenger's coming back

After work, Eric went home early since he had no appointment with Lily. This was not the old house of the Gu family, but the place where his parents lived.

Since they married, Angela liked a quiet life. And she didn't like the rivalry between sister-in-law and brothers, so Richard bought a house as her request.

"Why do you come back so early today? Didn't you see Lily?" Hearing the sound of door opening, Angela who was busy in the kitchen came out and saw it was Eric. She asked with a smile.

"I'm a little tired today, so I didn't meet her." He answered while changing his shoes in the hallway.

"You have a lot of work to do?" She asked, looking at him with concern.

"Yes." Eric changed his shoes and walked to her, pretending to ask casually, "Hasn't dad come back yet?"

"No. He said he was busy today and might come back a little late. He asked me to cook first and let's have dinner." Angela replied with a smile. Richard seldom came back late before, unless he was busy with work.

There was a touch of gloom in his eyes. Eric felt something stuffy in his chest, as if his heart was stuffed with cotton.

However, he didn't show his emotions on his face. He reached out and hugged Angela, saying like a spoiled child, "Mom, you have to do more tonight. I'm hungry."

"Well, when did you learn to act like a spoiled child?" Angela patted her son on his arm and said, "Okay, okay. My whole body is full of the smell of oil and smoke, but you don't mind, let go of me to cook, and we can cook two more dishes."

"Yes." Loosening his arms, Eric fixed his eyes on her, and his heart was filled with a kind of emotion. He lowered his head and kissed on her forehead. "I'll go back to my room to have a rest. Call me when lunch is ready."

"Okay." Angela was quite satisfied with his son's performance today. This was the first time that he had been so close to her, hugging and kissing her.

After returning to his room, Eric pulled his collar impatiently and then threw himself on the bed.

With his eyes blankly fixed on the ceiling, the scene that he saw this afternoon came to his mind naturally. Since it was a little far away, he didn't see the face of that woman clearly.

Since he was a child, he knew that his father had always loved his mother deeply. His father had never been so close to any woman, let alone physical touch. But today's scene was too strange.

With that on his mind, Eric grew impatient. He scratched his head and then he threw himself back on the bed.

Time seemed to stand still, and the room was so quiet that only his light breathing could be heard. Suddenly, it seemed that something came to his mind. He sat up all of a sudden, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number without hesitation.

The phone didn't get through very soon. It was not picked up after ringing for a long time.
