This hiding figure was captured by another man.
Eric squinted his eyes and saw the man that was hiding in the shadows not far away.
The man bent his body and looked sneaky, but his eyes were staring in Nicole’s direction.
Obviously, this man had bad intentions.
Eric immediately became alert.
He could not let Nicole be in harm’s way.
Eric took out his phone and asked his bodyguards to rush over.
Then, he strode over to Nicole.
Nicole squinted lazily and looked at the beautiful scenery when someone suddenly appeared in her sight.
She frowned and looked annoyed.
Why was this man haunting her? Did he really not understand what she meant when she rejected him?
“You…”
Nicole was about to curse at him, but Eric pulled her up and walked toward the center of the street.
Eric carried Chatty, who was playing happily, and looked at the other two boys. He said in a serious tone, “Stop playing. We have to go back now because there’s danger here."
Nicole was startled and looked around with a puzzled face.
“Danger? What danger?”
She did not understand where the danger came from.
Although the law and order here was not as good as it was in Mediania, she would not be so unlucky to encounter danger again, right?
However, there was no sign of panic on the streets. So, where was this danger?
Eric held Nicole’s arm tightly and walked out. He pointed to the place where the sneaky figure was just now.
“Look…”
As soon as he pointed to the spot, he noticed that it was empty.
No one was there.
Nicole took a look, and her face turned cold instantly.
She frowned and looked at Eric.
“Mr. Ferguson, were you upset that I refused your invitation to dinner? That’s why you thought of using this ridiculous reason to disturb us?”
Eric’s face darkened. “I didn’t…”
His face was a little gloomy and impatient.
He did not know how to explain it.
While Eric looked tangled, Chatty broke free from his hand.
“Weird Uncle, my arm hurts!”
Chatty looked up at him with teary eyes and accused him bluntly.
Fischer quickly caught up to them and took Chatty’s hand. Then, he gently rubbed her little arms.
Chance looked at his father in shock and did not know what happened.
Eric’s expression changed. He let go of Nicole’s hand and looked at the corner where that person was.
It was impossible.
Eric did not make a commotion from the beginning and did not startle anyone. How did that man disappear in such a short period of time?
“I’m not lying. Someone was watching you this whole time. I suspect that he was waiting for an opportunity to do something to you. You’re alone with the kids, and you certainly don’t look poor, so you’re a good target for robbers. Luckily I showed up here. Otherwise, you all would’ve been in danger!”
Eric stood there and explained what happened to her calmly.
Nicole glanced at him and curled her lips.
“So, I should thank you for saving my life because there was no danger?”
Nicole did not know when Eric had become so shameless.
What danger?
Nicole watched the bustling street. People were laughing and chatting.
It had been so long since Eric showed up, but she did not see any disturbance or unrest.
Obviously, Eric was talking nonsense.
Eric was stunned for a moment. His expression was indescribably glum.
However, Eric had always lost to Nicole, so he did not mind embarrassing himself again.
