My Mom's Second Marriage Gifted Me Seven Brothers Chapter 68 - It was Like a Dream

Chapter 68: It was Like a Dream

It was the first time Mary had ever heard Herman talk this much.

Had he lost control of his reservations?

Well, Mary thought it was funny because on the outside, Herman just looked like a cold, handsome man, but in reality, he loved his family a lot.

Mary felt warm inside, and the fatigue of running around these days seemed to vanish in an instant.

She looked at Monroe and replied, “We did encounter a shock wave, but luckily we avoided it. We are now in Warren City and we are preparing to take a plane back!”

Herman did not say anything before the phone was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Hugh.

“You stupid girl! Why did you have to follow Monroe and take such a risk!? There was a volcanic eruption and an earthquake, who do you think you are? We just took you out to relax and we came across so much misfortune!”

The corner of Mary’s mouth twitched. “Hugh, shouldn’t you be thankful that my sixth sense allowed you to escape the most dangerous place before a volcanic eruption?”

Hugh snorted heavily. “If you want me to thank you, hurry up and get back here!”

Herman s.n.a.t.c.hed the phone back and comforted Mary. “Hugh was worried about you, so don’t take it to heart.”

Mary was already happy enough to hear their voices. Why would she care about Hugh?

“I know. Wait for us to come back!”

Mary hung up the phone. Just as she was about to tell Monroe about Hugh’s fierce att.i.tude, they saw a riot on the street outside.

Someone got robbed, then shot, before the perpetrator screamed, and ran.

Mary looked outside in surprise. Monroe retracted his gaze. “They’re survivors. They probably escaped here with great difficulty, but there’s nothing left. They’re exhausted, and they’re hungry enough to do extreme things.”

Although Monroe had been blessed since he was young, he understood the plight of others, so he remained calm.

Mary didn’t know what to feel, so she could only shake her head and sigh. “It seems that the rescue measures in Warren City are not properly in place.”

Everyone went straight to the airport.

However, when they arrived at the airport, they were told that it had rained heavily in New York half an hour ago. The rainfall was too heavy, so all flights had been canceled.

Mary immediately called Herman and got the news that it had indeed rained heavily.

“Then we might not be able to leave until tomorrow!”

Mary hung up the phone and came back to tell everyone.

Monroe had bought the earliest flight in the morning, so they had to go to the parking lot and drive the car back to the city.

They drove to the most luxurious hotel in Warren City.

Monroe had booked the deluxe presidential suite on the top floor for himself and Mary, and two more suites for his subordinates on the lower floor.

Mary finally lay in the bathtub and took a comfortable bath.

The maid had already placed a new set of clothes on the bed for her and a nightgown.

Mary changed into the nightgown and dried her hair. She came out of the bedroom feeling refreshed and happy and then she saw that there was a sumptuous feast laid out on the dining table!

As for Monroe, he had also changed into a set of clean clothes. Although he was still dressed in black, he looked refreshed.

“Monroe! Is this all for the two of us to eat?”

Mary excitedly went forward and sat down at the table. Monroe only put down the tablet he had in his hand when he heard the sound of her voice

When he saw the side of her that lived at home like this, a look of shock and amazement flashed across his eyes.

“Hmph. If you’re hungry, hurry up and eat.”

There were only the two of them in the entire penthouse suite. Although the food they ate was not as lovely as when the group was all together, there was also no one who tried to fight with Mary over the food.

After a while, Mary touched her full belly and looked satisfied. She leaned back on the chair and sighed comfortably.

“I’m so happy… What happened two days ago feels like a dream!”

Monroe looked at her and could not help but smile.

Suddenly, his eyes froze and landed on her body, or rather… upper body.
