True Love Waits

Chapter 1372

Chapter 1372 It's Just A Waste Of Time

About half an hour later, Matthew saw Erica's message. He only replied, "Mm."

'Okay. What does that mean?' Erica stared at the screen of her phone and pouted her lips in dissatisfaction.

She was so annoyed that she closed her WeChat. 'Well, I'll ask him about it when I get back. Not long now! I can't wait!'

After dinner, when Erica was going back to her room, she heard voices from Gifford's room. It sounded like Gifford and Chantel fighting inside.

Chantel's voice was soft when she said, "Look, we're shooting now. I was supposed to leave tonight, but I put it off until the day after tomorrow. But I've got a fan signing tomorrow. I need to take off." "So you think I'm not busy?" asked Gifford in a cold voice.

"Of course you are," Chantel answered. She knew that well. They both were. As a star, she did grueling 15 hour shoots. As a soldier, he might work from 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., grab a quick dinner, and go prep for a jump at midnight. He was in command, too, which meant he was higher in rank. Higher rank meant more pay and more hours. He was a high-ranking military officer. How could she possibly compete with that?

"Yes, I'm super-busy and yet I can spare a few days to take care of Hugo. Whatever work you have, put it off. That's an order!" he demanded.

Chantel remained silent. She wondered if he knew the cost of what he was asking.

Erica took a peek in their room. One of them sat on the bed, the other stood by the window, and Hugo was playing with his toys on the sofa.

She poked her head in, waved at the little boy and whispered, "Come to Auntie!"

Although she lowered her voice, all three people in the room heard it and looked at her.

Erica grinned and said to Chantel, "Looks like you guys are busy talking. I'll set Hugo up in a video chat with Adkins and the other kids. Oh, and Hugo can sleep with me tonight. Say good night to Daddy and Mommy, Hugo."

"Good night, Daddy, Mommy!" said Hugo, who had already run over to Erica and was now hugging her legs.

Gifford nodded and watched them leave. Erica shot the two one last grin and closed the door behind her.

There were only two people left in the room. Standing in front of Chantel, Gifford put his hands on his hips and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
