Erick was not aware of what is happening. It was his mother's voice that helped him recover from that shock.
"Welcome home my dearest Son. I miss you so much." Sarah said to Erick.
"Mom?!" Erick was surprised to see her mother behind Elle, looking at him with her loving eyes. This time his mother walked towards him and hugged him.
"Why you didn't tell me that you are coming?" Erick asked her.
His mother let out a soft chuckle.
"Actually we planned to surprise you but I didn't expect that we will be the ones who will be surprised when we arrived. How long are you going to hide from us this lovely girlfriend of yours?"
Sarah teased him.
Now, he understood what just happened a while ago. Elle was pretending to be his girlfriend! That would explain her action a while ago.
He turned to Elle and gave her a questioning look. Elle just shrugged and smiled at him. Erick didn't say anything but he just gave his mother an apologetic smile.
