True Love Waits

Chapter 1401 Love Laid Bare

When Erica found out Matthew's secret, he flipped out on her. He was so desperate to keep it a secret that he lost all sense of reason.

To Erica's intense surprise, the woman in the photo was none other than herself.

She didn't know what Matthew was angry about. She approached him and asked defiantly, "And what if I don't give it to you?"

His hand tightened around her wrist. The pain made her grit her teeth, but she refused to budge. Fortunately, it was not that painful, and she could ignore the pain.

The man acted like a three-year-old child and answered willfully, "Give it here! Now!"

He was like a broken record, repeating that phrase over and over again. He wouldn't say anything else.

Erica reached out her other hand to touch his cheek, and talked to him in a quiet voice. "Matthew, Phoebe was never the goddess in your heart. You never liked her. She's just your best friend's wife. I'm the woman you loved from the start. There's nothing between you and Phoebe, and I can prove it. You don't know how long you've been in love with me or when you started to fall for me, do you?"

After she came back from the Panda House that day, she remembered what he said, what his feelings were. He revealed all that in the car.

When he heard what she said, Matthew's jaw tightened. What she said was the truth.

"But I had another man's child. When your dad asked you to marry me, you turned him down. I can think of two reasons for that. One is that you don't like others getting involved in your business, and the other is that you didn't want to marry a woman with someone else's kid. In the end, you said yes because you like me. That love won out over a kid out of wedlock..."

"Erica!" His sharp cry stopped her from saying anything more.

Matthew's face was pale, but there was no anger in his eyes, but shyness instead.

to talk about your feelings, so let me do it. It would be great if I could marry you now. After all, I'm a few years older now, than when we were married. I'd have a different view of things from that time. Maybe I would know you liked me earlier. But on second thought, I'm glad that we got married years ago. I don't regret getting
