True Love Waits

Chapter 1286 We Are Not Destined To Be Together

Erica felt angry and betrayed when she learned that Matthew had been hiding the fact that he had been using condoms. Obviously, he had taken advantage of her because she was ignorant about condoms. She decided to watch some adult movies to advance her knowledge after she returned to Y City. That way, she wouldn't be deceived by the cunning Matthew again!

"It's late!" Matthew whispered as he turned her over and kissed her without hesitation.

The next morning

When Matthew went downstairs, Erica and Wesley were having a heated discussion.

There was a trace of anger in her tone as she said, "We are not destined to be together. Don't force us." She rubbed her aching waist secretly. If she hadn't been at home today, she would have missed her lunch because of the previous passionate night.

Wesley was baffled by his daughter's stance. He just couldn't understand why she would behave this way. What was the girl thinking? From what he had seen, Matthew was an ideal son-in-law, and he wouldn't be able to find a better one even if he searched the world! However, when Erica persisted, he argued, "I have to tell you that an arranged marriage can sometimes work! You are so lucky to be with Matthew. Why do you always have to complain?"

"Dad! How can you know that this is right for me?"

"I'm your father. What I say is right! Well, since you insist, how about this? Don't return to Y City. Instead, get a divorce. Then he can marry Tessie's sister. By the way, what's her name?" Wesley said as he crossed his arms across his chest.

Erica's expression soured at the reminder. Reluctantly, she replied, "Phoebe."

"Yes. If you're so unhappy, then divorce Matthew and let Phoebe be Mrs. Huo. This way, I won't have to hear you whine about him anymore!"

Erica snorted, "I won't give him to her. She hasn't apologized for slandering me! She will never be Mrs. Huo. Not in this life or the next!"

The more Erica thought about the scheming woman and how much she coveted the position of Mrs. Huo, the more unappealing the idea of divorcing Matthew became. 'If I continue to be angry with him, Phoebe might get her chance!' she thought sullenly.
