Nadia was in Bridgedale at that moment, so Eric did not want to trouble her by asking her to hurry over. His phone suddenly rang. A six-year-old boy picked his phone up from the table and passed it to him.

"Uncle Eric, is that your girlfriend calling?"

Eric took his phone and had a look. Sure enough, it was a video call from Nadia.

Eric walked over to the balcony. He shut the glass door that separated the room from the balcony. The children did not go away. Instead, they pressed against the glass door, looking at him. Eric accepted the video call and Nadia's voice drifted from the speakers. "Eric, happy new year."

"Nadia, happy new year! Is it night over where you are?"

"Yes! I just finished dinner and returned to my room." Nadia scratched her head. "I'm stumped. Just now a bunch of relatives kept asking me when I'm going to marry you."

Eric said with a smile, "What a coincidence. My relatives asked me the same thing today."

The smile on Eric's face stiffened. After a few seconds, he said, "I'm not prepared to get married yet. I still find being alone more comfortable."
