Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

565 What Do They Want?

Alicia shivered as she hid in the grass. All she could hear were the wind and those people's footsteps. And she began to break out in a cold sweat

After a few minutes, she heard the sound of gunshots. Looking at the frightened crows that flew up into the sky from the valley, Alicia was shocked, and her face immediately turned pale. | Matthew, are you still alive? she thought to herself.

Emily smiled, "You can just call me Aunt Emily like Matthew did, Alicia

Are you alright?"

Alicia wiped her eyes with her handkerchief. "| heard gunshots just now, so | thought..."

Matthew frowned as he dusted off his jacket. "Thank goodness Aunt Emily arrived on time. They took care of everything."

"Oh! Natalie and Tammy are still in town!" Alicia said as she suddenly remembered this. And she appeared to be about to cry again
