True Love Waits

Chapter 1138 I Am Not A Child

The Huo family knew that this was Carlos' plant which he had kept for two years. Joshua had asked his friend to bring it back from Singapore. Carlos liked it a lot and treated it with a lot of care and attention. He had specially bought a handmade blue and white porcelain flowerpot for the plant.

As if that wasn't enough to emphasize the plant's importance, he had specially told the gardeners to take good care of it. However, Gwyn had knocked it over and several of its branches were now broken.

People's eyes wandered from Gwyn to Carlos, wondering what he would do. Carlos merely glanced at the plant on the floor and then squatted down to look into Gwyn's eyes. "Gwyn, did you knock it down?" he asked in a soft voice.

Gwyn nodded and apologized to him, "Sorry, Grandpa. I didn't mean to do that. It was an accident."

"It doesn't matter. Are you hurt? Let me see your hands."

Gwyn shook her head and extended her hands towards Carlos. After making sure she wasn't hurt, he asked a housemaid to clean up the floor.

Then he casually said, "Don't worry. It's just a plant. As long as Gwyn didn't get hurt, everything is fine. Come on. Let's go back and continue our conversation."

Rumor had it that although Carlos was very strict with his son, he was a slave in front of his wife, daughters, and granddaughter. Now Erica was finally convinced that the rumor was true.

She could tell that Carlos' heart ached for the plant. But he was not blaming Gwyn at all. He only cared that she was okay.

Erica suddenly changed her mind. She was now considering having daughters with Matthew instead of sons.

When Matthew went to the bathroom, he left his phone on the table. A moment later, the screen lit up from some notification.

Both Erica and Carlos noticed that. "Rika, check whose message that is," he said.

"What? Umm... I don't think that's a good idea," Erica stammered with her eyes wide open. She wasn't sure about checking Matthew's phone. It might have been private.

"Come on. I think it's perfectly normal. A couple should be honest with each other. You should remember who you are. You are his wife now, and you have the right to
