True Love Waits

Chapter 1216 A Spendthrift Man

Erica was stunned for a moment and her voice trembled anxiously. "I was just trying to scare her! There's no need to send her there. She's already beaten up so badly. She won't survive out there!" Although Lenora deserved punishment, she didn't deserve to die.

What happened this time also served as a lesson for Erica who understood the importance of speaking more carefully in front of Matthew. She realized that if she didn't choose her words more carefully, it could bear some irreparable consequences.

"I know what I'm doing!" Matthew said coldly. He wouldn't kill anyone, obviously, but he would definitely torture Lenora for a while.

"Matthew, I'm not joking! She is going to die! You are going to send her to a primeval forest in a deserted area. Just think about what you're doing! She won't even have any food there. If Lenora ends up dying, I will have to live with the guilt of it for the rest of my life!" Erica was clearly very anxious, but Matthew still acted as if he didn't care if that wretched woman died of hunger or some miserable disease.

He remained silent as he drove her back to the villa.

When they arrived, Matthew asked her to get out of the car and said, "I need to go back to the company first. You should get ready for class."

The girl walked to the driver's seat and put her hands on the half-down window. "I'll go to school, but don't send Lenora there, okay?"

Matthew looked at her small face and answered, "Erica, what kind of person do you really think I am?" What do I have to do to make her feel like I am the only man she will ever need?' he wondered gloomily. Erica said readily, "You're handsome-"-and hot.'

"I want to hear the truth."

'The truth?' Erica looked at him with puzzlement. She couldn't have been lying to him about his good-looks, after all, the man was, indeed, very handsome. "You're a nice guy!"

Anyway, he was always nice to her. But that wasn't it, he was, in fact, a great guy who treated her very well.

He looked at her hand holding the window and said, "Move your hands away!"

"But you haven't answered me yet. Can you..."

"If you have more questions, you can come to me again after we become a real married couple!"
