True Love Waits novel Chapter 1125

"Mom, stop!" How Erica wished she could cover her mother's mouth so that she wouldn't keep gossiping about her. It was embarrassing the first time around. And to have someone recount the stories just rubbed salt in the wound.

"Why?" Blair didn't think it was such a big deal. She continued to fill Matthew in on Erica's past, heedless of her daughter's protests.

Back when Erica was filling out the application forms for the college entrance exam, father and daughter discussed her plans together. They were upstairs in the study for much of the evening.

Wesley respected her and asked her to choose a major she was interested in. He would give her the best advice he had.

Hearing that she had the freedom to choose her major by herself, Erica was shocked. "I must be hearing things. You said you'll respect my choices?"

Seeing the calculating glint in his daughter's eyes, Wesley regretted what he said, so he answered decisively, "No."

"I knew it!" She pouted her lips.

Wesley suggested, "You can learn from your mom. Go to a foreign language school." Blair was a talented translator and was well-paid for her trouble.

Erica rolled her eyes and disagreed more decisively, "No way! Could you think of anything more boring?"

Wesley knew she wouldn't agree. His face darkened at her answer, but before he could straighten her out, the girl who was reclining on the couch sat up straightaway and said, "It's okay if you want me to learn different languages. Because I'll make friends with a lot of foreigners. Probably even fall in love with one. If that happens, I may not come back and you won't have to see me anymore…"

"Enough!" Wesley was pissed off.

Since she had already had her digs in, Erica obediently shut up and did not say one more word.

Wesley kept telling himself to calm down because Erica was his biological daughter. He tried to hold back his anger and soften his voice. "Then tell me, what do you want as a major?"

Erica cupped her chin and thought for a moment. "Medicine! Wearing a white gown and holding a scalpel, doctors are real hotties!" In her mind, the young men in clean white doctor's coats were especially attractive.

"You? A doctor?" Wesley regained control and said in a serious tone, "I'm pretty sure that's the impossible dream, as far as you're concerned. I'm afraid your mom and I have to handle the medical negligence disputes for you every day."

That was no exaggeration. Erica was a careless girl. She always acted rashly and was accident prone. He was afraid she would put the patients' lives at risk if she were to become a doctor.

'Humph! Some father you are!' Erica was not convinced. "Mr. Li, you are not helping!"

Wesley snorted, "Mr. Li, is it? So you're saying I'm not your real dad? Aren't you the one always saying you're a fairy? Look, I'm just an ordinary man. How could you be my daughter? You sat on a meteorite that fell to earth. You came from the sky."

'From the sky? Oh, right!' Erica clapped her hands and said seriously, "Dad! How about I take flying lessons, learn to be a pilot? I want to fly planes for a living!"

Wesley looked at her with a smile, which made the girl's hair stand on end. "With your sense of direction? I'm afraid you'd fly your plane into outer space and get abducted by aliens. They'd take you away and stick things in you. Your mom would be sad."

The last sentence was the key point. The girl pulled a long face.

"Dad! You say no to every profession I want. What do you want me to learn then?"

"I think you're quite eloquent. Why not be a lawyer? If you know the laws better, maybe you'll spend less time breaking them!"
