Chapter 1234 A Clean Hand Wants No Washing

Erica looked at the villa and said, "Rhea and I just arrived at the gate of the villa. We haven't gone in yet."

Matthew was about to answer when he heard a man's voice come over the line. "Erica, Rhea, I'm leaving now! Go get some good rest!"

"Okay, thank you! Bye!" That was Erica. Though she had reflexively covered the speaker with her hand, Matthew was still able to hear and discern that it was a man who had spoken to her.

Meanwhile, Watkins was about to get into his car, but stopped as though he'd suddenly remembered something. Seemingly not noticing that Erica was on the phone, he came over and told her, "You know, I've always wanted to invite you to dinner, but I never got the chance. Now that we've friended each other on WeChat, I'll contact you and invite you to a proper dinner sometime soon."

Holding her phone low beside her body, Erica answered, "Okay. But look, it doesn't matter if you're too busy..."

"No, I'm not busy. I haven't had many classes to deal with lately," he said quickly, and then broke off. "Look, we should both be going. It's too cold outside, and it'll be colder tomorrow. Remember to dress warm!" Saying this, Watkins half-raised his arms as though to give her a hug goodbye. However, he remembered that she was married and thought better of it.

Erica pretended not to notice and smiled at him pleasantly. "Oh, I will. Thank you, goodbye!"

Watkins turned and hurried off, leaving Erica to breathe a sigh of relief. Remembering that she was still on the phone with her husband, she brought it back up to her ear. "Hello, Matthew, haven't you gone to bed yet?"

For a moment there was only silence. Fearing the call was disconnected, Erica glanced at the phone's screen to find that it wasn't. "Hello? Are you busy now?"

Matthew's voice came through at last, cold as the air. "No, I'm not. Who's that you were just hanging out with?"

Erica shivered and held onto Rhea's arm as they started toward the villa. "I was with Rhea and Hyatt," she answered.

"What did you do?"

"We went shopping, had hotpot and hit a bar. Then we came back," Erica answered honestly.

"Who drove you back?" asked Matthew.
