True Love Waits

Chapter 1123 My Husband Is Waiting To Take Me Home

Erica idly fiddled with the bracelet on her wrist and glared at Reese. "Who told you Matthew didn't come with me? How do you know he's not at the house right now?"

"Come on, many people saw you at the high-speed train station. Your brother picked you up, and Matthew was nowhere in sight. Don't even try to lie!" Reese continued to provoke Erica as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

Erica laughed instead of getting angry. "How about this? Let's make a bet. If Matthew is really here, you owe me one hundred thousand dollars. If he isn't, I'll give you two hundred grand! How does that sound?"

"One hundred thousand? Wow, what a greedy bitch you are!" Although Reese was from a rich family, she wasn't rich enough to squander one hundred thousand without a second thought.

"Tsk, tsk. I thought you had a boyfriend? One with a fat wallet? What? My bet too rich for your blood?" 'Maybe not just one boyfriend, but probably a few, ' Erica thought disdainfully.

An embarrassed look appeared on Reese's face. "What about you? You're Mrs. Huo. You're stinking rich. But you offer up a measly two hundred thousand dollars. That's a bit stingy, don't you think?" "Okay. How much are we talking, then?"

"Five hundred grand!"

"Sounds good! When I'm done here, I'll take you to my home and show you what Matthew Huo looks like. I hope you won't be too jealous. He's my husband now. So there's no point in crying over it." Although Matthew wasn't actually at the Li family house now, Erica was sure that Reese wouldn't call her bluff and show up at her doorstep.

Moreover, she was playing with words. She didn't say that Matthew was around TODAY, so she could take Reese to her house tomorrow if the girl insisted.

'Don't be too jealous?' Easier said than done. Reese was really envious of Erica. This notorious Miss Troublemaker was so lucky to get married to Matthew Huo! How could she not be jealous?

The Li family and the Huo family were good friends. Reese believed that Erica's parents pushed for the marriage and the Huo family didn't want to turn them down, so they agreed to it. "What if you run away?" Erica rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "Do you think everyone is like you? Matthew promised me that he would stay here with me for a few days. Believe me, you'll see him soon!"

Erica had a lot of weaknesses, and bragging was just one of them. She wasn't sure whether Matthew would come stay with her or not, but her mouth moved before her brain could think about it. Rhea's classes were over, and she had just walked out of the building. She heard the bet. She rushed over and covered Erica's mouth. "Hi Erica. Don't bother with a troll like her. She won't be happy unless you're unhappy. Your hubby's a big shot. He doesn't have time to look pretty for everyone. Reese is way too full of herself. Who does she think she is?"

Rhea already knew that Matthew wasn't there. She had to save Erica from herself. Erica told her earlier he might come tomorrow. Might! She was not 100% sure.
