Chapter 1357 Collection Of Photos

But Matthew and Debbie didn't find the boys' story funny. Debbie, who felt sorry for what they had gone through, held Colman in her arms and asked Matthew, "Didn't you go to find Rika? Why is she not with you?"

"Give her some time." Matthew wanted Erica to come back to him willingly and never leave him again.

"Why do we have to wait?" Debbie gave him a confused look and added, "Didn't you coax her enough? Didn't she want to come back with you?"

Colman suddenly cut in, "No, Grandma. Mommy can't come back now, maybe because she hasn't finished her task yet."

"Task? What task?" Debbie got more confused.

Colman blinked and hesitated for a moment. "Grandma, I will tell you, but don't tell anyone."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Mom has promised the police to find evidence of the crimes made by Kirk Qin and his men. That's what we only know. Mom didn't tell us the details. And when she sent us back here, she hasn't gotten the most important evidence yet."

Matthew and Debbie looked at each other. Then Matthew turned to Adkins and asked with a frown, "Does your mom do this kind of task often?"

Adkins nodded first but then shook his head afterward. "We don't know. Sometimes Mom doesn't tell us."

"I understand. You can go and play now," he said.

"Okay."

The four boys ran upstairs and went back to the games they were playing before Matthew arrived.
