Maggie Emond was now in Bridgedale, and Eric didn’t intend to trouble her to come there again.
The cell phone rang suddenly, and a six-year-old boy picked up the cell phone he had placed on the table and handed it to Eric.
“Uncle Eric, did your girlfriend call you?”
Eric took the phone over and glanced at it. Sure enough, it was the video call from Maggie.
Eric walked towards the balcony and closed the partition door between the balcony and the room.
A group of children didn’t even try to hide it, they just lay on the glass door, staring at him, watching the excitement.
After Eric took the video call, Maggie’s voice came, “Eric, Happy New Year.”
Eric: “Maggie, Happy New Year! Is it night over there?”
“Yeah! I just returned to my room after dinner.” Maggie scratched her head, “I really have a big head. Just now a bunch of relatives came and asked me when I will get married with you.”
Eric smiled and said, “What a coincidence, my relative came to my house today and asked me this question.”
Maggie joked, “Why don’t we just get married?”
The smile on Eric’s face froze, and after a few seconds, he said, “I’m not ready for marriage yet. It’s more comfortable to be alone.”
“Have you chatted with Layla? She was so angry last time, and I don’t know if her anger has subsided.” Maggie sat down on the small sofa, picked up a water glass and took a sip of water.
Eric said shyly, “I didn’t dare to contact her.”
Maggie: “Are you so cowardly? What are you afraid of, at worst, you will be scolded by her.”
“The main reason is that being scolded can’t change anything, I’m afraid she will become more and more angry.” Eric knew Layla’s character too well.
“Then do you have any contact with her parents? Shouldn’t you just cut off contact with them because of this matter?” Maggie felt that the loss outweighed the gain.
After all, Avery was Eric’s savior.
“I sent a text message to Avery, and she replied to me.” Eric replied.
If it was usual, Avery would invite Eric to play at home, but this time, Avery didn’t invite him.
It wasn’t that Avery was stingy, but that Eric was invited over. Firstly, it was awkward to meet Layla, and secondly, Elliot would be angry.
“That’s good. Avery shouldn’t block you because of this incident.” Maggie smiled, “What are your plans next?”
Eric: “I have no plans. Rest at home first.”
“Eric, I’ve been chasing you for so many years. Although you rejected me, you can still be my friend. Now Layla confesses to you, although you also rejected her, but you dare not contact her at all… ..You treat me differently from her.” Maggie analyzed, “Eric, you like Layla.”
Eric: “Maggie, you don’t need to analyze who I like. No matter who I like, I am more suitable to live alone.”
“You’re lying.” Maggie exposed his lie, “Just now you called me Maggie, but I pierced your heart, so you call me by my name.”
Eric smiled helplessly: “You called me not to wish me a happy New Year, but to make me unhappy in the New Year.”
“Where. I sincerely wish you happiness. Not only a happy New Year, but every day from now on.” Maggie looked at his face on the screen and sighed slightly, “I was worried that you would break up with them, so let me ask you what’s going on right now.”
“They’re also busy with New Year, so they don’t have time to settle accounts with me.” Eric said in a relaxed tone, “I’m taking care of the children now, let me show you.”
Eric switched the camera to the rear, so the group of children who eavesdropped on his video appeared on the screen.
Seeing so many children lying on the glass door to watch the fun, Maggie burst out laughing.
“You should make plans for yourself.” Eric turned the camera back and said to Maggie, “Don’t waste your time on me, see if there is a suitable man around you!”
“I’m younger than you, so I’m not in a hurry. Let’s wait and see! What if you want to marry me someday?” Maggie thought wishfully.
