True Love Waits

Chapter 1126 Because Carlos Wouldn't Agree

His promise made Wesley smile in relief. He patted Matthew on the shoulder again. He trusted Matthew, and didn't have to worry about Erica anymore. Wesley opened the door to Erica's room and heard joyful laughter from inside. She had placed the baby on her bed and was making faces to amuse him. When she saw Wesley and Matthew enter, she scooped the boy up and asked, "Hi, Dad. You two finish your talk?"

"Yes. You don't have to stick around if you don't want to. Matthew's pretty busy. You can go back to Y City tomorrow. You should resume your studies ASAP, too."

Erica unhappily pouted. "I do want to stay here, actually. I'm bored out of my gourd there. I won't bug Matthew. You guys both know that."

She had just come back today, but her father wanted her gone so soon. The young mother was quite homesick, and she missed the old house.

Wesley took Ethan from her arms and scolded her, "You don't have anything to do? I told you-you're going back to school. Matthew will make all the arrangements. Don't worry about anything else. You just need to study hard."

Erica fumed silently.

When only Matthew and Erica were left in the room, she sat on her bed next to the man. His sharp eyes were examining her room. "Thanks for helping me cheat Reese today," she said.

"Cheat? I did no such thing."

Erica was stunned for a moment, and then chuckled. "I get it. Scratch that-thank you for helping me with Reese!"

Matthew didn't respond this time. He took out his phone and called his assistant. "Take a pic of my ticket this morning and send it to me."

Erica blinked her eyes in confusion. 'Wait... This morning? Could it be...?'

Two minutes later, she was still pondering this. Matthew tapped a picture he had just received on his phone and showed it to her. It was a ticket for his flight.

The flight left at 9:30 in the morning, and his seat was in the first class section. It would only take one and a half hours to fly from Y City to her hometown, so he got here at around 11:00 in the morning. He wasn't lying to Reese at all.

Erica was confused. "Didn't you say you wouldn't be here till tomorrow?"
