Facing Tom''s question, Alex looked up at the sky and smiled. "Since the threshold isn''t low, it looks like getting his wife back won''t be easy. Most importantly, we have passed what we know to Samuel, so the rest is up to him. If that information is true, do you think the Patriarch of the Laibahas family will let Samuel take Erika away just like that? In order to bring her back to his side, it seems that our brother will have to kneel for 3 days and 3 nights in front of the statue of their family''s ancestor!"


    Those words took Tom''s breath. "How did you know about this?"


    After hearing this, Alex looked at Jean faintly.


    Tom also covered his mouth spontaneously.


    For some reason, he suddenly felt that the road for Samuel to bring back his wife would be full of thorns and that it would not be that easy.


    ...


    In less than ten minutes, there was amotion near the church entrance.


    The guests wandering around the courtyard followed the sound and saw te and n walking gracefully.


    One was the eldest daughter who held an important economic power of the Vander family, and the other was a young and handsome member of the Hartanto family. Theirbination has led many to specte that the future of the Hartanto family will be solidified.


    Tonight, te wore a white dress and a long, elegant skirt with no frills. Just like her, her clothes looked elegant and luxurious.


    And n beside her, wearing a ck tailor-made suit with a bow tie around his neck, looked like a very handsome noble gentleman.


    At this time, Jenny and Jefferson also walked slowly behind them.


    They seemed to be very satisfied with tonight''s engagement banquet, and there was a pleasant smile on their lips.


    n walked among the guests, greeting those who''de warmly.


    And te was always with him. Unlike other enchanting and gentle women, her every move was full of majesty and dignity.


    Perhaps, thebination of the two screams powerful couple together.


    ...


    After the engagement banquet, Chris nned to leave this ce sooner.


    He said goodbye to Jean and the others, and as he was just walking towards the parking lot, someone behind him called out to him.


    "Chris."


    Chris stood still, and watched quietly as he turned back. "Brother, congrattions."


    n raised his eyebrows, his eyes fixed on Chris'' face. "Are you ready to go? There''s going to be a family dinnerter, aren''t youing?"


    "I have something to do." Chris looked at n calmly.


    He hasn''t seen her for a while, and the arrogance on this cousin''s face seems to have lessened a lot!


    Hearing this, n nodded slightly. He walked slowly towards him, and said insincerely, "My engagement to te… I hope it won''t add to any trouble for you. Even though your father is nning to bridge your marriage to te, it''s really inappropriate. Judging by age, te''s age and mine should be more appropriate. I don''t want to argue with you, but this too was te''s own choice, so…"


    n wasn''t lying about this.


    n and te''s marriage is indeed the result of te''s choice.


    This also makes n more appreciative of te''s position in the Vander family.


    Throughout the history of the marriages of tworge families, most of them were due to orders from their parents, but te was able to turn this all around with her own strength. Her skills are not to be underestimated.


    At this moment, Chris looked at n''s seemingly calming gaze. He then narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "Since it was te''s choice, of course I will bless her. I hope you don''t betray her expectations!" The smile on the corners of n''s mouth stiffened by Chris'' warning.


    He forced out a smile and said, "Since she''s chosen me, I won''t let her down."


    Chris pulled the corners of his mouth with a smile. Before turning around, he left behind a sentence. "In that case, this is all for the best. I still need something, I will trouble you to finish my portion at the family banquetter."


    n remained where he was when he saw Chris'' figure walking, then sighed and shook his head.


    The harmonious rtionship between him and Chris had gradually be more distant these days. Sometimes he even had to let out an exasperated sigh just because he had to keep up dealing with everything that''s been going on in his family.


    ...


    That night, Chris went straight back to his house.


    The little girl was still waiting for him at home alone, and Chris didn''t know whether she had eaten or not.


    He originally wanted to take her to the banquet tonight, but when the little girl heard that Samuel was also there, she refused to leave.


    On the way home, Chris bought a cake for her.


    He parked the car, and he was still humming a song when he got out of the car. His handsome face looked veryfortable.


    However, in less than five minutes, Chris'' expression was reced by a touch of gloom!


    Merry wasn''t home!


    Only after he called did he know that the little girl went on a high-speed train!


    "Merry, why are you leaving?"


    During the call, Merry muttered under the nket. "Brother, don''t be angry! You don''t have to worry, I''m going with Anna and Clifford!"


    Chris was so angry that his brain hurt when he heard the little girl''s irresponsible answer.


    Even though Emma wasn''t in Indonesia right now, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn''t secretly attack Merry.


    Chris rubbed his brows and demanded stiffly. "No matter who is by your side, get off at the next stop and I will send someone to pick you up!"


    "I don''t want to!" Merry bluntly refused. "Brother, I heard you called this afternoon. My mother is in Jakarta, right! You all know the news, but you didn''t tell me. Anyway, now I want to meet my mother with my own strength!"


    Chris. "..."


    Just how stubborn is this girl!


    Unexpectedly, Merry heard what he said over the phone to Jean that afternoon!


    Chris sighed silently, and patiently persuaded. "Ugh, never mind. You shouldn''t have been that worried. Besides, South Jakarta is vast, do you know where to find her?"


    Merry nodded. "The Laibahas family! I heard it when you called this afternoon! Besides that, Wood also helped me investigate!"


    After that, Chris couldn''t speak anymore!


    He didn''t mind the little girl going to Erika, but Merry shouldn''t rush to leave rashly.


    Merry and Anna weren''t used to the world outside, if they faced any danger, no matter how strong Clifford was, he might not be able to protect both of them.


    Chris leaned back on the sofa, sighing heavily, and after lighting a cigarette to suppress his anger, he softened his tone and coaxed Merry with difficulty. "Don''t you ever think that your mother didn''t want to be found at all?? Otherwise, why did she bother to leave without leaving any traces behind?"


    "Don''t you take your mother''s feelings into ount? We all know it exists but why don''t we move now because we don''t want to wake the sleeping lion? Be a good girl, get off the train and get in a taxi then get back to my house as fast as you can. If you really want to go, I can go apany you."


    Hearing Chris'' advice, Merry pouted and was silent for a long time.


    After that, Merry whispered.. "Thene and apany me. We can get off the train and wait for you at the station!"
