True Love Waits

Chapter 1231 He Wants To Live A Long Life

Matthew admitted that there were times when he had wanted to take advantage of Erica, but he only felt this way towards her. He didn't like other women. Why did she think he was a lustful man? He turned over and lay on his side, facing her. His pajama belt accidentally came loose.

Erica stared at the handsome man. She preferred to leave the curtains slightly open at night to let a little light into the bedroom.

In the moonlight, she saw his exposed chest staring back at her.

The girl swallowed and looked straight into his eyes. "Man, are you trying to seduce me?" she asked playfully.

Matthew rolled his eyes. "Are you turned on by my body?" He played along.

"I am," she said in a low voice, and reached out her hand to touch his chest.

Matthew grabbed her unruly hand and warned, "I've already taken too many cold showers. Think twice before you make a move. Don't touch me if you don't want to get laid." Erica didn't realize how attractive she looked to him in the darkness of the night.

"You're so stingy," she said with an awkward smile. 'Fine! I won't touch you!' she thought, taking back her hand.

She rolled to her side of the bed and closed her eyes. Soon after, she fell asleep.

Matthew stared at her, stunned.

'Did she just fall asleep? And right after taunting me once again!' he cursed in his mind as she slept peacefully.

The next day, Matthew left the city on a business trip. Worried that she wouldn't eat properly if left alone, Debbie asked Erica to temporarily move back to the Huo family manor.

While Matthew was away for work, Erica spent most of her time at school. She handed the photo of the starry sky she had taken atop the Fragrance Mountain as her homework, and she received high praise from Professor Feng.

Four days after Matthew had left, Erica received a call from Rhea. "My dearest Erica, where are you now?"

"My dear Rhea, I'm developing a photo at school at the moment." Professor Feng had asked her to develop the photo she had submitted earlier and post it in the column for exceptional works. "Erica, can you go to the school gate right now? Someone is looking for you."
