True Love Waits

Chapter 1342 Matthew Loves Me

Matthew didn't speak. Unlike before, Erica neither naughtily urged him nor coquettishly forced him to answer immediately. After half an hour, he finally agreed, "Okay."

The corners of her mouth lifted in a brilliant smile. She kissed the man's face with tear-filled eyes, and said softly, "Thank you, Matthew."

'You are the man I love most. I love you, Matthew,' she confessed in her mind.

Matthew acted quickly. First, he confirmed a destination for Erica's trip-a country named Cass. The country was in the opposite direction of the slum.

Then he arranged for six bodyguards to follow her. Two of them—a man and a woman-were assigned to follow her closely, while the remaining four bodyguards would protect her in secret.

He also ensured that bodyguards were available for every scenic spot she visited.

While his arrangements were extreme, they helped reassure Matthew of Erica's and their two children's safety.

As soon as Debbie learned that Erica would be traveling, she offered to accompany her daughter-in-law. Erica, however, refused. Although she always listened to her elders, this time, she expressed her desire to be alone.

Debbie tried to persuade her, but the pregnant woman's decision remained unshakable. Eventually, Debbie gave up.

Her concerns only settled when she learned from Matthew the steps he'd taken to ensure Erica's safety.

After all three sisters of the Su family had been sent away, Fanya tried her best to sue Matthew and Erica, but no lawyer dared to take her case.

Finally, a small-time lawyer offered to accept the case for the money. However, he disappeared inexplicably when he went to meet Fanya.

Before leaving for Cass, Erica visited the Li family house in A Country.

In the evening, Blair drove Wesley out of their room as she wanted a heart-to-heart talk with her daughter. "Rika, I feel as though you are in a bad mood after returning this time. Tell me what's wrong. Maybe I can help."

On the contrary, her tone was as cheerful and naughty as always. "I'm fine.
