Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 1224

Matthew was a smart guy. Nothing much got past him. He already understood what was wrong as soon as he heard Erica utter her first sentence. Damn that Sheffield. He must have told her.

And what did she mean? He had his own thoughts on the matter, but he wasn't sure he was right. 'Is she saying she isn't going to care if I fool around with other women?' Matthew thought angrily.

"Erica Li!" he called in a cold tone.

Erica immediately stood at attention. Stiff, hands at her sides, eyes straight ahead. "Yes, my lord!"

When he heard her joking around, Matthew was no longer in a bad mood. He asked helplessly, "Do you seriously not care if I have an affair? That's not like you!"

Erica wanted to nod and shake her head at the same time. Anger rose inside her. But when she thought about it, she calmed down a little. Why should she be angry? She did, in fact, discuss the idea of a harem with him. Why should she be mad about something that was her idea?

She looked troubled, and so did Matthew.

After a while, she suddenly slapped her hand on the desk in front of him. "Matthew Huo!"

The slap was so hard even Matthew jumped. His first reaction was to look at her hand. That must have hurt. Her hand should be red and swollen.

"You must be forgetting something. You're married. Where would you come up with an idea like that? Who do you think I am? Erica Xitala?"

she demanded furiously. Matthew was confused. "Why are you pissed all of a sudden?" Hadn't she been calm a moment ago? Where was this rage coming from?

Erica retorted, "I'm made of anger. Didn't you know that?"

Matthew didn't know what to say to that. 'I get it, ' he thought.

Erica glared at the man and continued, "How could you even think of cheating on me? I feel like a Niugulu!" She was referring to one historical drama where the woman was nice at first, but because of all the betrayal she became a cold, heartless woman.

Matthew, who had never watched palace dramas, was completely confused by her. Why did she call herself Xitala one minute and then Niugulu the next? What did she mean? He was getting upset. This was too much for him to take in.

Matthew massaged his temples. "I thought you didn't care."

"Who says I don't care? I'm Mrs. Huo now. If you start going off and having affairs, can you imagine how embarrassed I'd be?"

"So, is this just about your dignity?"

Erica blinked. "What else?"

Matthew's heart ached. "Nothing. Let's get some dinner!"

"Wait just a minute. You need tell me whether you intend to cheat on me or not. Of course, if you do..."

Matthew suddenly turned and stared at her.

Erica finished, "If you do, then that means I can start my harem, right? Turnabout is fair play, they say. Ha ha."

The office was dead quiet for two seconds. The man opened his thin lips, and the coldness in his eyes was like an arrow shooting at Erica. "I don't think so!"

Well, did he have to look so serious? "Then you have to promise not to have an affair," she haggled. It made sense. Why could he fool around, but not her? That would be unfair.

Matthew pulled the woman into his arms. With their foreheads against each other's, he told her slowly, "I promise I won't cheat on you!"

He looked like he wanted to tear her apart and eat her up!

Getting what she wanted, Erica straightened the man's tie to please him, and comforted him gently and softly, "Okay, okay, I know. Don't worry. With a handsome devil like you around, why would I ever cheat?"

Matthew's expression softened.

He kissed her on the lips and said, "Wait for me. I need to go change!"

Looking at his pressed clean navy blue suit, she was confused. "You look good. Why do you need to change your clothes?"

Without saying a word, he took her hand and walked into the lounge.
