Chloe looked away. Although she knew that Andrew couldn’t see, she dared not to look into his eyes.
“She said she needed to deal with something else, so she went back home,” she said.
“What?” Andrew obviously didn’t believe her. “She has no family. Why would she go home?”
“I don’t know either.” As she spoke, Chloe went into the kitchen.
Andrew was left alone in the living room. He couldn't see, so even he doubted something, he couldn't
go to find Evelyn right away.
He didn’t look as calm as earlier, and his face gradually darkened.
After two hours, Noah got everything arranged and they boarded the flight to City C. He didn't see
Evelyn, so he asked, “Where is that girl?”
Andrew was sitting on the window seat. His eyes were as black as the night, expressionlessly. Noah
asked, “What happened?”
Chloe answered, “She said she needed to deal with something, so she went home. Andrew might be
unhappy because she’s gone.”
Noah frowned. “Why did she go back so suddenly? She has saved Andrew. We haven’t thanked her
yet. How come she has left?”
Andrew was still expressionless.
Chloe thought for a moment. She believed that she must make it clear to Andrew. “Do you like that girl,
Andrew?”
Andrew didn’t answer, but he meant yes.
“She’s an orphan. You can’t see anything. What on her makes you like her?” Chloe asked again.
“Andrew, you don’t fit each other. Firstly, you are from two different families...” she added.
“Did you say something to her?” Andrew suddenly interrupted her in a cold tone.
Chloe paused and answered, “I did say something to her. I told her about your family. Did I do
something wrong?”
Noah frowned and snapped, “Who do you think you are to speak such words to her?”
“Am I an outsider?” Chloe asked.
“She has saved Andrew. She’s our benefactor...”
"But she has evil intentions. Andrew even didn't see her. How could he like her? She must have played
some dirty tricks." Chloe didn't think she had made a mistake, insisting that she had done something
right.
“I did it for Andrew’s good. I’m afraid he’ll be deceived...”
“You are so stupid!” Noah snapped, “No matter what. You don’t have the right to deal with this matter.
Doesn’t Andrew have parents? Who do you think you are to deal with his matter?”
"I did it for Andrew's good. Do you want me to watch him be deceived without doing anything? Then I'll
be so wrong!" Chloe still didn't realize her mistake. She believed that it was abnormal for Andrew to like
a girl while being blind.
“If you like someone, you should like her appearance, right?”
“Can’t he like her for her character? If people only like good-looking ones, do you mean all the bad-
looking people would be lonely for all their lives?” Noah was so angry. “How could you be so shallow?”
Chloe was rendered speechless.
She was sitting there in a daze.
Noah heaved a sigh. He patted Andrew on his shoulder, “Please don’t mind your aunt. After
everything’s settled, I’ll go with you to find her back.”
“No, thanks,” said Andrew, “It might be my fault. I should have told her the truth at the beginning.”
He knew that although Evelyn was an orphan, she was quite independent with strong self-esteem.
He guessed that she had known their family backgrounds were too different so she was upset.
He would find her later to make it clear to her.
“Just leave this matter like this. Please don’t argue for it and let me feel sorry. It’s all because of me,”
said Andrew.
“How could it be your fault? It’s all your aunt’s fault. She spoke something to sent her away.” Noah
knew his wife well.
“All right. It’s all my fault.” Chloe was still angry. Until now, she didn’t think she had made a mistake.
She believed that she did it for Andrew’s good.
“She’s just a country girl. How could she match Andrew?” she muttered.
If they were not in public, Noah would scold her. He didn't want to argue with her at this age, which
might make others mock them. However, if he didn't scold her, he would feel quite frustrated.
“What the heck do you want?” Noah tried hard to suppress his emotion. However, he couldn’t calm
down because of being too angry. “Why can’t you be more board-minded?”
“Do you mean I’m petty?” Chloe looked at him and asked, quite angry.
Noah knew that if they kept speaking to each other, they would start a fight. Hence, he closed his eyes
and faked napping.
Chloe, however, didn’t give up. “Why don’t you speak?” she asked.
“I’m not in the mood.” Noah was so irritated. “It’s been so many years. Why can’t you change your
character a bit?”
“I know you’ve lost impatience in me,” Chloe said unreasonably, “You regret marrying me, don’t you?”
Noah felt that he was going nuts. “We’ve married for so many years. What are you talking about? Do
you want others to mock us? Andrew is still here. Can’t you be more board-minded and care about my
dignity in public?”
Chloe’s eyes reddened. She turned to look away. Obviously, she was still angry with Noah.
Noah hit his head helplessly. This woman was not bad usually, but she was still willful and petty
inwardly.
Upon hearing them argue, Andrew felt quite awkward. He wondered if he should keep silent or
mediate.
However, it was quite inappropriate for him to say something now. Hence, he kept silent.
After the flight landed, they got down from the plane. Joshua and Bonnie came to pick them up.
Seeing them come out of the exit, Joshua trotted over. "Andrew!"
“Joshua?” Andrew recognized his voice.
Joshua hugged him. “I heard you got injured in your mission. Would you...”
“Not at all. I’ll be fine. Don’t worry,” said Andrew.
Noah called them earlier and told them that Andrew was injured when carrying on a mission. Hence, he
couldn’t see anything for the time being.
He didn’t mention Andrew’s threatening experience earlier. Only a few people knew about it.
“Hi, Andrew.” Bonnie was standing next to Joshua and greeted Andrew.
Andrew raised his eyebrows. “Bonnie?”
"It's me." She came over to take the other arm of his. "Let's go home."
Andrew said OK. “I couldn’t come back for your wedding. Please forgive me.”
“Joshua and I understand. We know you are busy.”
“I didn’t send you any wedding gift either,” Andrew added.
Bonnie said, “As long as you come back safe and sound, it’s the best gift to us. What will be happier
than our family gathering together?”
“Bonnie, you have become a sweet talker. Has Jos taught you so?”
Joshua was speechless.
Bonnie covered her lips. “No one has taught me. I meant it from the bottom of my heart. Mom misses
you a lot. You can come back now and it’s the biggest relief for Dad and Mom.”
