True Love Waits

Chapter 1244 Give A Child As Compensation

Matthew looked Erica in the eye. "I realized that I was wrong. I was totally wrong. You never cared about me. Your heart belongs to someone else. Why should I come to the villa and stay under the same roof as you, humiliating myself?"

With every word he said, he paid close attention to the expressions on her face.

Since he thought that she didn't care about him, he had stayed away from her all this while to show her how it felt to be ignored.

It looked like it bugged her that he didn't come home even though he was in Y City.

Erica's eyes filled with shock and anxiety. "No..."

She wanted to explain. She wanted to tell him that she didn't like any other man.

If there was someone she loved, it was Matthew. The man she loved the most was... Matthew Huo.

But Matthew stopped her. "It doesn't matter. Leave. We'll talk about it when I come home. I have something important to do now." He had to investigate the Su sisters to prove Erica's innocence.

But she misunderstood him. She thought that the more important thing to him at that moment was being with Phoebe.

Distress overwhelmed her. She opened her mouth, but said nothing. With a somber face, she left the hospital with Owen.

It was late. Erica tossed and turned in her bed, but couldn't fall asleep. One thought that haunted her was what had happened to Phoebe. And the other was that, once again, Matthew didn't come home.

'He must be in the hospital with Phoebe,' she thought unhappily. 'They lost their child. It must feel horrible for them and they sympathize with each other.'

She thought more about this over dinner and finally made up her mind. It would be so much better if Matthew trusted her, but if he didn't, then... then she would give him a child!
