True Love Waits

Chapter 1130 The Intimacy

A few minutes later, Erica stepped out of the walk-in closet with two of Matthew's new robes in her hands. When she glanced up and saw what the man was wearing, she almost screamed.

But, she managed to calm her fast-beating heart. 'Erica, just pretend that this is a men's underwear show. Only this is better than that!'

"Which one would you like to wear, Matthew?" Erica asked as she raised the robes to her face-level to prevent him from seeing her expression.

He glanced at the robes and shrugged. Then, he said, "Any."

"Fine." Now, she had to decide for him. Erica turned, studied the robes carefully, picked a silver-gray silk nightgown, and threw it on the bed. Then she returned to the walk-in closet without looking at him. When she reappeared in the bedroom, Matthew had put on the nightgown. He seemed to be headed toward the bathroom.

Erica ran past him and stood at the door to the bathroom. "Well, can we settle the matter of the bottle of red wine before you take a shower?" She believed it was best to finish the discussion as she didn't want it to cause further strain between them.

Matthew cast her a sideways glance as he asked, "How do you want to settle this?"

"If I had any ideas, I wouldn't have asked you." Erica shrugged as she replied. No matter how much she thought about it, she just couldn't come up with any worthwhile suggestions.

"Do you think that I will ask my wife to compensate me for a bottle of wine?"

"Um... can I at least apologize?"

He refused coldly, "No! Now that you've married me, the red wine is our common property. You're in charge of not only my red wine but also all other things, including money."

His explanation left Erica speechless. Dumbfounded, she froze in her spot. Matthew, on the other hand, calmly walked past her and into the bathroom.

Erica still couldn't believe what he'd said. Was he that generous and forgiving? Was she in charge of all his property?

Impossible! He mustn't have meant it!
