True Love Waits novel Chapter 1107

There was a goddess who shone like the purest moonlight in Matthew's heart. The topic was on everyone's lips in the city, but no one knew exactly who his goddess was. And why people knew about it, no one could say. After all, Matthew wasn't one to share his secrets easily.

Who on earth was his goddess? That was the biggest mystery to those who had a crush on Matthew.

Just like that, over dinner, the Huo family and Li family decided that Matthew and Erica would be married. They didn't care that she didn't want to.

During the whole process, Erica had no right to speak, all because she already had a child out of wedlock.

In two days, the Huos presented their betrothal gifts to the Li family.

The Huo family was generous and sincere. They gave the Li family two checks, six sets of priceless jewelry, five houses in Erica's name—three houses were in Y City and two in A Country.

And just when Erica thought that was too much, they gave her more betrothal gifts.

Three limited edition supercars suitable for ladies, a listed jewelry company, two luxury yachts, two credit cards with unlimited balances issued by a bank under ZL Group...

When she saw the gifts, Erica could almost believe that she and Matthew were in love.

The truth was, these were all gifts from Carlos and Debbie. Matthew didn't give a damn about them.

But she wasn't done being surprised. The two families held a grand engagement ceremony in the Li's hometown the very next day. And the wedding was scheduled to be held on July 7th of the lunar calendar.

Everything was happening so fast.

Like an emotionless robot, Matthew coldly handled all the details.

It felt like a dream to Erica. She wore a pink dress, and had a glass of wine in her hand. After the engagement ceremony, Erica stood beside Matthew and gazed at all the guests. Looking at the relatives and friends coming and going, this was like something out of a fairy tale.

But she couldn't help poking the man's arm and whispering, "Why did you agree to marry me?"

Matthew didn't even look at her. "My father asked me," he answered indifferently.

Erica was speechless. 'You sound so reluctant.'

Later, the news of their engagement had gone viral on the Internet. It was all over the news, and social media as well. "Breaking news: Matthew Huo, successor and vice president of ZL Group, is set to marry the youngest daughter of the Li family!"

Now, everyone in the world knew Erica was going to marry Matthew.

The commenters could scarcely believe what they read. The news shocked everyone.

A user named Knife commented, "Erica Li is going to marry Matthew Huo? WTF? Is that true? It's an April Fool's Day joke, right? Oh, my God!"

Another user named Your Highness commented, "Dafuq? Erica Li? Miss Troublemaker herself? How'd that happen? Tell me that's not true!"

The user Keep Silent said, "Wow! The Li and Huo families, united by marriage. That oughta be fun."

Girl Under Bridge said, "I wonder how many people in Y City will have a problem now that Miss Troublemaker's in town. Mr. Matthew Huo, if this is a shotgun marriage, let us know. We'll come rescue you!"

In the Li family house

Erica became more and more depressed as she read the comments. At last, she turned off the phone and lay in bed, staring at the ceiling in despair.

People all over the world thought she wasn't good enough for Matthew, and they all knew they didn't love each other. They said it was beneath Matthew to be the stepfather of her baby.
