True Love Waits

Chapter 1373 She Is Home

"Yes, but Mommy, don't worry. We will help you keep an eye on Daddy before you come back!" Adkins calmly assured Erica that he and his brothers wouldn't allow those bad aunts to succeed in seducing their father.

Erica glanced at the man beside the boys, but his face didn't reveal anything. No reaction. No emotion. Instead, his eyes remained focused on something else as if he was deep in thought. 'Does his silence... mean yes? What a jerk!'

She thought about confronting him, but ultimately decided to comfort her sons. "It doesn't matter. Mommy will be back soon. You'll probably see me in two days."

She wondered if Matthew would come and pick her up then.

Next, the boys chatted some more with Hugo before they reluctantly ended the video call.

Matthew didn't say a word to Erica after all, and she sighed all night about it.

'Didn't he say that he loved me very much? Why didn't he say anything to me just now? We've slept together earlier, haven't we? Why is he still mad at me then?' she thought unhappily. Later, as planned, Erica got to meet her niece-Wendy.

The little toddler in pink casual clothes had her hair tied up in a ponytail, revealing the whole extent of her round and soft cheeks. She was the cutest girl Erica had ever seen. Although Erica already had her four sons, she couldn't help loving Wendy so much that she didn't want to stop holding or kissing her.

'Well, I changed my mind. I know I have four sons, but I would love to give birth to a beautiful little girl like Wendy for Matthew in the future!' she thought to herself.

Wendy was shy around strangers, so Erica wanted to break the ice and spend more time with her. In the evening, she asked Yvette if she could take the little girl to her bedroom, which her sister agreed. Soon after, they fell asleep together.

Two days passed, and Erica was still at the Li family's house. Concerned about it, Wesley found his daughter eating durian when he came over to ask her, "Since you're not training in the base anymore, when will you leave for Y City? Your in-laws have called you several times already. Do you want them to come and pick you up again?"

Wesley disliked the smell of durian, so he kept himself a few meters away from Erica.

She shook her head and swallowed a piece of durian before answering, "I've booked a flight back to Y City tomorrow afternoon. But please, don't tell them. I want to surprise Matthew!" "Surprise him? Is it really necessary?" Wesley mocked.
