Just like Erica, who was naughty and mischievous as a child, Erma had tricked all the servants in the family by the time she was just over a year old.
Her five brothers, or guardian angels as they were better known, not only turned a blind eye to her shenanigans, but also helped her bully others.
Several servants even threatened to resign, but Matthew found it impossible to teach his daughter a lesson, so instead he paid them three times their usual salary to keep them happy. With that kind of money, the servants were willing to put up with little Erma’s devilry.
Although Erma was as naughty as Erica, they were very different in character.
Erica was branded as a troublemaker from the start and she wore it like a badge of honor in front of everyone, even her family. Erma was quite different. She would usually put on a lovely and adorable front when faced with people she wasn’t well acquainted with. However, the moment she’d start to feel more open with people, she would fail to hide her mischievous nature.
Once Erica smacked naughty Erma on the bum, leaving a palm print on the baby’s smooth skin. This angered Erma’s father enough that he decided not to talk to Erica for a few days.
As if things weren’t bad enough, Erica decided to give Matthew the silent treatment as well because he wouldn’t reprimand his naughty daughter. After all, the little devil was the one who’d cause such a ruckus.
Matthew found himself caught between a rock and a hard place, as he loved his daughter too much to scold her, but he also loved his wife too much not to speak with her. In the end, he had to make his wife happy, so he asked his daughter nicely not to cause so much trouble again.
Unfortunately, such incidents occurred too many times and only Erica among all the other members of the Huo family could teach the little princess a lesson. As such, ever since Erma was a child, the person she feared most was her mother, and the person she feared the least was her father.
Matthew was so attached to his daughter he would take her everywhere with him. People would always see him holding her and singing lullabies to her. In fact, some people mistakenly thought that she was a child without a mother because they hardly ever saw her with Erica.
However, it wasn’t really Erica’s fault that she hardly spent any time with her daughter. On many occasions, she’d wake up in the morning and her husband would have already taken their daughter out. Sometimes Erica would protest that Matthew was deliberately stopping her from seeing her daughter.
The five brothers loved their sister so much they would babysit and take care of their precious little flower without hesitation.
Paige admired Erica’s strength of will. Many years ago, Erica had told her that she would give Matthew five sons and now she really had five sons with Matthew.
Not only did she give him five sons, she even gave him a daughter.
While she was taking care of the kids, Paige took a short video of them and uploaded it on
O of a well-established company. He was more familiar with being driven to places than riding a bike all on his own.
“Where is your drone?” He changed the topic to distract her thoughts.
Suddenly, Erica remembered her drone and she titled her head up in the sky to look for it, but it was nowhere to be found. She looked at her remote control and found that the drone had flown up to more than 200 meters high. No wonder she couldn’t see it.
As the sea breeze grew stronger, Erica brought the drone back to around 20 meters high and put it on auto-pilot. She shook her legs with excitement and said, “Honey, I’m going to start recording!”
“Okay!” Erica seemed to have rubbed off on him because Matthew was now very enthusiastic about recording their daily life.
Erica clicked on the start button and let the drone record their magical date.
On the road along the coast was a drone, a bike, and a couple. Their happiness was so simple.
Erica wanted to put a perfect end to this video.
At the seaside, with his feet on the ground, Matthew gently whispered in her ear, “Honey.”
And, just as the woman turned around with the remote control in her hand, he kissed her.
The drone flew higher and higher capturing their happy moment on the coastal road—a couple in love, kissing, the beach and the sea…
After she put away the drone, Matthew grabbed her hand and dragged her down the coastal road to walk on the soft sand beach.
All of a sudden, Erica let go of his hand, kicked off her shoes and ran into the sea. Marveling at the blue sea, she shouted, “Matthew, I love you!”
‘Matthew, I love you. I started with liking you, and as time went by, I couldn’t stop from loving you…’
Matthew, who was usually serious, was willful for once. He took off his casual shoes and socks, stood beside her and shouted, “Erica, I love you too!”
‘Erica, I loved you at first sight and we will never be apart.’
Sometimes great love could be found in simple places and in between simple people.
