True Love Waits

Chapter 1136 Do Everyone A Service

"Matthew, are you busy right now?" It was a woman's voice, which sounded a bit familiar to Erica. However, she couldn't tell whether it was the voice of the woman who called him on their wedding night or the voice of someone else she had heard before.

"No."

"Will you be attending the seventh-day ceremony of Nathan's death?"

"Yes." Tomorrow was going to be the seventh day after Nathan's death. And Matthew would definitely come.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you, then."

"Okay."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Erica was dying to know who it was. So, she asked in a low voice, "Who was that? Your woman?"

"No," Matthew answered curtly.

"Oh." This one wasn't it either, which simply made Erica become more and more curious.

In the Huo family's manor

When they got there, a few kids were merrily running about in the yard. Noticing their car from a distance, Godwin quickly ran toward it. Godfrey and Gwyn followed him, blocking Matthew's car together.

The second the bodyguard got out of the car and opened the rear door, the two boys called out "Uncle" and frantically went inside the car.

The car was less than two minutes away from the manor itself, meaning to say the kids only got inside the car to have a bit of fun.

In order to give them space so they could get in, Matthew moved closer to Erica, and the two kids scrambled to sit right next to them.

Gwyn, on the other hand, was the only one who stood outside the car, showing no intention of getting in.

Seeing this, Erica pulled Godfrey, who was moving close to her, into her arms and let Godwin sit on Matthew's lap. Then, she called Gwyn and said, "Gwyn, hop in!"

The bodyguard said, "Mrs. Huo, Miss Tang can just sit in the front seat."
