True Love Waits

Chapter 1143 Phoebe Su

To get back at Lilith, Erica swore to herself that she would marry her youngest son, Hyatt Li, who was her classmate at the time. If she were to become Lilith's daughter-in-law, then she would make her take care of the children, wash clothes and cook for them!

That being said, she never expected that things wouldn't go according to plan. In the end, she didn't marry Hyatt. Instead, she got married to a man whom she thought she didn't even have anything to do with! Letting out a helpless sigh, Hyatt knew it all along. But in his eyes, Erica was much like an angel completely beyond his reach. She was way out of his league, so he never really wanted her to marry him. "Is Mr Huo treating you well?" he asked.

"Yes! He always treats me well. And he gives me a lot of money!" Erica couldn't hold back her excitement. "Let's go to the snack bar. I'll treat you to some sausages!"

'But a sausage only costs five dollars. Am I being too stingy?' she suddenly thought. So, she quickly went on and added, "And a cup of hot 'U Loveit."" 'Ten dollars in total. I'm being quite generous, if I may say so myself!'

"Thanks!" Hyatt wasn't so hard to please. Truth be told, he was already very happy with just one sausage, what more if she threw in a cup of his favorite "U Loveit" as well!

From the moment the second class started, wherever Erica went, Hyatt followed her like a lackey. It seemed like they went back to their old days.

At lunchtime, Erica was thinking of inviting Hyatt for lunch. However, while they were on their way to the school canteen, she received a call from Matthew. "Where are you?" he asked curtly. "I'm heading toward the canteen right now. What's up?"

There was only static on the other end of the line. It seemed that she had totally forgotten about the conversation they had that morning. "You promised me this morning that you're going to attend the seventh- day ceremony of Nathan's death."

"What? Oh... Did I?" Erica blurted out as she stood there in shock.

Cudgeling her brains out, she vaguely remembered that she indeed seemed to have promised that. Her eyes felt so heavy that she actually fell asleep soon after.

Looking at the pink sportswear she had on, she realized that it wouldn't be right to attend the seventh-day ceremony wearing that. "It slipped my mind. I have no change of clothes with me. What am I going to do?"

"I'll wait for you at the school gate."
