On the first day of the year, Matthew Grant and Blanca Roach got up particularly late, both after they had slept well.
“Matthew Grant! The sun is up, why aren’t you …”
“Just a little more sleep.” Matthew Grant rolled over and wrapped his arm around Blanca Roach’s shoulders while muzzling Blanca Roach’s chattering mouth.
The thin sunlight poured in through the thin layer of glass outside the window, and it was warm everywhere.
Matthew Grant held out his arm to shield his eyes, his voice a low rasp, “What are you doing up so early?”
“We …”
Blanca Roach’s words have not finished, outside the window suddenly sounded the crackling firecrackers, Blanca Roach frightened to cover their ears, Matthew Grant is immediately brought Blanca Roach into his arms.
After a while, the sound of firecrackers gradually diminished.
“Okay, okay, no more sound.”
Matthew Grant’s voice was compelling but unexpectedly reassuring, and Blanca Roach nodded, her furry little head poking out of Matthew Grant’s arms.
A pair of dark, black and white eyes flickered, making people want to press her to the bed and kill her.
“Matthew Grant! It’s time to get up!”
When the firecrackers stopped ringing outside, Blanca Roach got up and pointed at Matthew Grant, “How long do you want to stay in bed? It’s the first day of the New Year, don’t you need to go pay your respects?”
“…”
Matthew Grant’s eyes flickered for a moment.
The Grant family has such a high reputation in s-town, there are naturally many people who need to go around. It’s just that Matthew Grant didn’t want Blanca Roach to get involved. But now look, since Blanca Roach wants to go to the New Year, Matthew Grant also have no reason to stop.
On the first day, Matthew Grant took Blanca Roach to the New Year’s Eve, and on the second day, the two of them went back to The Butler family.
Time passed quickly, and it was already time to start the work after the New Year.
Some people had a happy New Year, but others were anxious.
There was only a glimmer of light in the dimly lit room.
Salome Wally was all tied up with ropes and her face looked a little pale.
“Zachary Wood, you let me out!”
Salome Wally was almost gritting her teeth. Since Zachary Wood had taken her back that day, she had been imprisoned in this apartment and not allowed to go out.
The door was opened and Zachary Wood came in from outside.
His face looked a little tired, came over and squatted beside Salome Wally, “I let you stay here for your own good, you will die if you go out now, you know? Now Matthew Grant has asked Curtis Irwin to start a full investigation, do you think you can escape when you get out?”
“You did all this!”
“I didn’t do anything!” Zachary Wood suddenly drew up his voice, his eyes red, “I’m protecting you, it’s a sign of love, don’t you give shame!”
“Zachary Wood, you bastard!”
“Yes, I’m an asshole, you think you’re the only one who’s clean, Salome Wally I’m telling you, you’re just no match for Blanca Roach, she’s naive and kind, but you? You are simply a devil, you do nothing but evil …”
Listening to Zachary Wood’s sarcasm, Salome Wally just felt like a huge rock was weighing down on her heart and she couldn’t breathe.
There were still people outside setting off firecrackers, but the hilarity was all for others …
