True Love Waits

Chapter 1166 Joint Investigation

"Yes, there was a report from the hospital. Both your mother-in-law and I saw it ourselves. What's going on, Matthew? Why are you asking about all this stuff right now?" Wesley asked. Matthew thought it unnecessary to hide anything from him. "Dad, can you do me a favor?"

"Go ahead."

"Can you call Rika now and ask her if she had a Caesarean section or a natural labor when she gave birth to Ethan?" Matthew asked cautiously.

Even for his age, Wesley was sharp as a tack and he understood what was going on at once. "Are you suspecting that Ethan isn't Erica's son?" "Yes."

Matthew's intuitive hunches had rarely failed him before. Wesley took a moment to regain his breath as he started to feel dizzy. "Hold on a minute!" "Okay!"

Meanwhile, when Erica was waiting for Matthew to come out of the bathroom, she suddenly received a call from Blair. "Hey, Mom!"

"Rika, were you sleeping?"

"No, I'm still watching a movie."

"You're watching a horror movie again!" Blair knew what she was watching without even having to ask.

"Yes. I'm waiting for Matthew to join me in the home theater room. How's Ethan doing?"

"He is playing with his toys. I have something to ask you."

"Go ahead!" Erica said curiously.

The unsuspecting girl had no idea that her mother was actually acting on behalf of her father. Blair portrayed a casual demeanor to Erica and said, "Honey, when you gave birth to Ethan, was it a C-section or a natural labor? I heard that there's a new vaccine on the market. Apparently, you can get two shots."

"What? Vaccine? For a C-section or a natural labor?" Erica panicked.

"Um, for... natural labor."

too strong to out-power as he pressed her down with one arm and leaned in close to kiss her red lips, leaving her no chance to resist. Three minutes later, Matthew slowly let go of the woman under him, with a smug smile on his face. 'Erica, you naughty girl, how dare you lie to me?' he thought. Erica's shame turned into anger. She raised her voice and complained, "I thought you said you would treat me with respect? Why are you still doing this to me?" Matthew calmly held her in his arms again and sat down. "But
