True Love Waits

Chapter 1162 The Explosions

"What's going on? What's wrong?" Frowning, Matthew stood up once again and walked out of the meeting room.

On the other hand, Erica had no idea what her husband was doing at the moment. According to her, he would always be sitting alone at his desk, reading files or signing papers. Never had she imagined or expected him to be having an urgent meeting with some executives in the conference room.

"Listen to this!" she replied, moving her phone closer towards the kitchen.

More than ten seconds later, BANG! "What are you doing?" Matthew asked in surprise as he heard the loud noise.

"Umm... I am boiling eggs..."

Matthew felt a dull pain in his temples. "How can boiling eggs cause such a powerful explosion?"

Erica was embarrassed at this question. "Well, I don't know. Maybe I left them on the flame for too long. I mean, I even gave Ethan a bath while they were getting boiled."

"Turn off the stove first!" Matthew told her.

"O-Okay," Erica answered, flustered.

She put Ethan in the baby stroller, wrapped him in a bath towel, and made sure that he was safe before she rushed into the kitchen to turn off the stove.

'Nothing could explode anymore, right?' she was thinking. That was logical! She had only put three eggs in the pot, and three bangs had already reached her ears. What more could go wrong! However, Erica could do nothing but watch as the pot was burnt into smoke; she was too scared to approach the stove and turn it off. Very soon, the kitchen was filled with black smoke.

The smoke alarm in the kitchen began to scream loudly the next moment.

Startled, Erica stepped back immediately. 'What's happening!'

Matthew was just about to call the property management company when they called him first. "Mr. Huo, the smoke detector in your kitchen is ringing," someone from the property management company reported.

"Yes, sir!"

Matthew hung up the phone, and walked towards the elevator at a rapid pace. Meanwhile, he called Owen. "The meeting is adjourned.

"Yes! Mr. Huo."
