True Love Waits

Chapter 1227 Most Important Woman In The Huo Family

'Does she think I am that weak?' Matthew mused.

He felt as though it was time to let Erica know his real strength!

A gentle sigh of content escaped Erica's lips as she glanced at the stars in the sky. Tightly enveloped in Matthew's embrace, she felt safe and loved like never before. After a brief moment of silence, she asked, "Matthew, what are your plans for the future?"

"I will work in the company and continue to manage the ZL Group for another twenty years. During that time, whatever free moment I have will be spent with my family. When those twenty years finish, all of my time will belong to my wife," Matthew replied. In truth, Matthew wouldn't hesitate to spend every moment with his wife because she meant more to him than his work.

A sense of disquietude surged through Matthew when he thought about the life he wanted to build with Erica. He realized that life was too short and there just wasn't enough time!

"You genuinely care about your wife!" Erica chuckled as her cheeks blushed crimson. It felt good to be cherished.

"Well, yes. After all, we will be spending the rest of our lives together," he said. 'You will be the one and only woman I love for the rest of my life.'

The smile on Erica's face widened. "I didn't expect Mr. Huo to take his wife so seriously. Aren't you afraid that your parents will be jealous?"

Erica's heart soared with the love and devotion Matthew felt for her. What more could a wife ask for?

"Why should they be jealous? Everyone knows that the bond between a man and his wife is greater than any other relationship between two human beings. As long as the two can live as one, life will only know peace and happiness. I hope you realize the importance of our relationship!"

Erica was over the moon and pleasantly surprised to hear Matthew speak this way. Unsure of whether he was teasing her or not, she timidly asked, "So, you're telling me that I am more important to you than your parents?" Was he serious?

"Theoretically, yes." There was still one thing missing in their relationship.

"But, in fact?" She gently nudged Matthew to share his thoughts with her.

"After you and I consummate our marriage, we will become a real couple. Then, you will enjoy a higher status than my parents. So, Mrs. Huo, do you want to be the most powerful woman in the Huo family?" "That can wait until your birthday. It's just a few days away. There is no rush." Erica giggled as she replied. Over time, her attraction toward Matthew had intensified, and she struggled to contain her passion. She wished that his birthday would come sooner!

Matthew subtly glanced at Erica. She didn't look or sound anxious, but the anticipation was killing him. How could she be so in control? Either way, he didn't want to pressure her. "What's your plan?"
