Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 1409

When Paige came in holding a pair of lunch boxes, she happened to see all this. Trying not to laugh, she told Matthew, "Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, I've got your midnight snacks."

Erica's eyes lit up. She immediately sat up straight and said with a smile, "Paige, you wouldn't happen to have bought me seafood porridge?"

Paige glanced at the man next to her, who still had a long face, and shook her head at Erica. "Mr. Huo said you had a belly ache. I got millet porridge with yam. I hope that's okay, because Mr. Huo asked me to get something light and digestible for you." 'But I got seafood porridge for him, ' she thought.

With a grim face, Matthew snorted, "If you've got gastritis, seafood porridge should be the last thing you eat. Did you think I'd let your hurt yourself?"

"No, no. You don't get it. I wanted to make sure she got some for you." Erica didn't dare admit what she really thought.

To her surprise, the man said indifferently, "Well, she did get me some. And it's yummy, thank you very much."

Erica lapsed into stupefied silence.

A few minutes later, she looked at the man eating seafood porridge next to her and sighed in her heart. He made her watch him eat that on purpose. She couldn't eat so much as a single mouthful of his savory porridge, but she could only eat the bland and tasteless millet porridge.

The man seemed to know what she was thinking. He deliberately picked up a piece of sirloin, taking his time looking at it before finally popping it into his mouth. After chewing it at a leisurely pace, he said slowly, "Yes, I did it on purpose. I let you watch me eat, knowing you can't take a single bite." He figured this would teach her a lesson. See if she tried to eat anything without thinking about it next time. She was even more careless than her four three-year-old sons.

Erica was upset, but she held it in. She had to say, "No matter. It's good. Porridge and vegetables! I can lose some weight too!" What else could she say? Matthew was convinced he was right, and there was no use fighting over it.

"Well, then eat some more."

She pouted seeing his smug look. 'What a jerk! When I get better, I'll show him. I'll grab steaming bowls of hot and sour rice noodles, spicy hot pot, boiled fish with golden pepper... I'll eat them in front of him, too.'

That night, Matthew wore a long face the whole time, both when around her, and off to the side working on his laptop.

The ward was so quiet that Erica felt uneasy. After tolerating the dead silence for two hours, she finally couldn't stand it anymore. "Matthew."

The man looked up at her and remained silent.

"You just don't want to confess to me, do you? Otherwise, why are you mad at me all the time? So go ahead. Get pissed off. Can you take back what you said to me?" Before he could explain, she continued, "You can't go back in time. It's too late. I waited so long to hear your confession of love, so I recorded it and saved it to the cloud. I'll listen to it on my phone whenever I want!"

Matthew was confounded. He put down the documents in his hands and came to her. Hands in his pockets, he stood by the bed and looked at her indifferently. "Who told you I was angry because of that?"

'So that's not why?' Erica was confused. "Is it because I ate a bad piece of fruit?"

The man didn't say anything, which meant yes.

She was suddenly enlightened. "I told you that I won't eat it again. It's not worth staying mad over, right? My battery's dead, and you won't charge my phone for me. I'm so bored."

Matthew remained unmoved.

Erica became listless in an instant and muttered in a quiet voice, "I missed you day and night when I was in Tow Village. Now I finally can see you every day, but you're just being impossible. Ugh! I can hardly stand to be around you." Under the man's cold eyes, she boldly snorted, "Humph! You are always so cold. I'm your wife, not your enemy! It almost makes me want to run away again!"

"Didn't you say you would be a fool to run away again?" Matthew said flatly.

'Oh, did I say that? It doesn't matter. I'm a girl. I can change my mind whenever I want!' So, she nodded and said, "So, yeah, I guess I am a fool!"
