True Love Waits

Chapter 1238 What A Waste Of Money

Tears welled up in Erica's red eyes again. Her lips quivered as she complained to the man standing in front of her with a long face. "Why are you scolding me?" Erica was already having a hard time dealing with Ethan's departure.

Matthew stood in stunned silence, his mouth agape at Erica's reaction. Was he not supposed to scold her? Was he not supposed to be angry at her? "Then what do you think I should do to you?" he asked. 'Should I just sit by and watch her get close to another man?'

Erica's eyes and nose were red from crying. She wiped away her tears and said, "We haven't seen each other for a week. Don't you miss me?" She missed having him around, especially since she had been sleeping alone.

Needless to say, Matthew missed her as well. Why else would he end his trip one day earlier and return to his home country in such a hurry? Why else did he rush home instead of going to the company as soon as he got off the plane?

Erica, however, didn't expect him to say that he missed her. Perhaps, the woman he missed was Phoebe. In any case, she was determined to push that woman out of his heart. "Come here!" she ordered the

man.

Matthew couldn't believe his ears. Where did she get the audacity to speak to him like that? How dare she raise her voice to him? Nonetheless, he took a step forward.

"Lower your head!" she ordered again.

'She's ordering me again!' Despite the anger, he humored Erica again as he looked down at her in confusion.

"What are you looking at? Kiss me now!" "Isn't that what a couple is supposed to do after they see each for the first time in days? I see other couples hugging and kissing each other when they meet again after a long time. Why is my case any different?' Erica wondered.

She soon came to realize what the reason was. 'Matthew is just a cold and arrogant man!'

Without saying a word, Matthew held the woman in his arms and lowered his head to kiss her red lips.

In truth, this was what he had in mind the whole time. If only he hadn't become so furious after seeing her with Watkins.

However, Erica couldn't stop thinking about Ethan and she kept on sobbing silently.

Tears streamed down her cheeks and stopped at the spot where their lips locked. The salt from her tears spread inside their mouths and Matthew immediately loosened his grip on the woman, with a worried look in his eyes. "Did I hurt you?"
