True Love Waits

Chapter 1371 Go Soft On Erica

Although Matthew wanted Erica to stay away from other men, she had been training with several male soldiers. Therefore, how could she do as he asked? Besides, it was Wesley who insisted that she should train among the soldiers. 'Why didn't he just go to Dad? Why did he come here to teach me a lesson instead? What a jerk!' Erica thought, doing her best to roll her eyes discreetly.

Putting his hand on her waist, Matthew asked sternly, "Do you still want to argue?"

She shook her head immediately. "No, no, no."

He had come to her with an invitation to take her to lunch. But despite his words, he had brought her to this place so they could have sex. Now she had missed lunchtime in the base.

At that moment, Matthew regained his usual and elegant image as he dressed neatly again. Afterward, he got out of the car and lit a cigarette.

Leaning against the car window, Erica smoothed her messy hair and called the man smoking outside, "Hey, Matthew! I'm hungry. Let's go and have lunch!"

Matthew breathed out a mouthful of smoke before he looked at the flushed woman in front of him. However, she soon became blurry through the haze. "Come with me," he offered.

'Come with him? Back to Y City?' she wondered. "No, no. I haven't met Wendy yet. I've promised to see her before leaving for Y City. Why don't you wait for me so that we can go back together?" she asked. She didn't want to break her promise.

She planned to return to Y City after she met Wendy, and then her two best friends-Hyatt and Rhea.

Upon hearing her answer, Matthew didn't say anything back. He stubbed out the cigarette and called Owen, to whom he ordered, "Let's go!"

More than ten minutes later, the luxury car dropped her off at the base.

With a hat in her hand, the woman stood in front of the gate in shock as she watched the luxury car driving away again. 'How could Matthew, my husband, do such a thing to me?

He said he was going to take me to lunch! Yet he took me to the wilderness to have sex with me. And then he sent me back with an empty stomach.

What a jerk!'
