True Love Waits novel Chapter 1130

A few minutes later, Erica stepped out of the walk-in closet with two of Matthew's new robes in her hands. When she glanced up and saw what the man was wearing, she almost screamed.

But, she managed to calm her fast-beating heart. 'Erica, just pretend that this is a men's underwear show. Only this is better than that!'

"Which one would you like to wear, Matthew?" Erica asked as she raised the robes to her face-level to prevent him from seeing her expression.

He glanced at the robes and shrugged. Then, he said, "Any."

"Fine." Now, she had to decide for him. Erica turned, studied the robes carefully, picked a silver-gray silk nightgown, and threw it on the bed. Then she returned to the walk-in closet without looking at him.

When she reappeared in the bedroom, Matthew had put on the nightgown. He seemed to be headed toward the bathroom.

Erica ran past him and stood at the door to the bathroom. "Well, can we settle the matter of the bottle of red wine before you take a shower?" She believed it was best to finish the discussion as she didn't want it to cause further strain between them.

Matthew cast her a sideways glance as he asked, "How do you want to settle this?"

"If I had any ideas, I wouldn't have asked you." Erica shrugged as she replied. No matter how much she thought about it, she just couldn't come up with any worthwhile suggestions.

"Do you think that I will ask my wife to compensate me for a bottle of wine?"

"Um... can I at least apologize?"

He refused coldly, "No! Now that you've married me, the red wine is our common property. You're in charge of not only my red wine but also all other things, including money."

His explanation left Erica speechless. Dumbfounded, she froze in her spot. Matthew, on the other hand, calmly walked past her and into the bathroom.

Erica still couldn't believe what he'd said. Was he that generous and forgiving? Was she in charge of all his property?

Impossible! He mustn't have meant it!

He was just being polite.

But, since he didn't care about the bottle of wine, she decided not to mention it anymore.

However, to her disappointment, by the time they went to bed, Matthew seemed to have changed his mind. He glanced at her and said, "I didn't want compensation or an apology. But that doesn't mean that I don't care about the wine."

"What would you like me to do?" she asked.

"Come here."

Erica shrugged off her shoes, sat on the bed, and smiled at Matthew. "What can I do to make it up to you?" She seemed to be fawning.

Alas! If she hadn't broken his bottle of wine, she wouldn't have to try so hard to please him.

She shouldn't have hesitated about giving him the five hundred thousand. After all, the bride price in her card was also his money.

Regret coursed through Erica as she thought about her decision.

Just as she was seized with remorse, Matthew pounced on her, pressed her against the bed, and kissed her on the lips.

Hmm... He was kissing her again.

After a while, Matthew let go of her. He slid his finger across her red lips and gazed into her deep eyes. "Do you remember the time when you called me honey at the school gate? Say it again."

'Call him honey? ' Erica remembered that time. Back then, she had known that calling Matthew honey would cause her trouble. Now, it seemed as though she was right. She chuckled awkwardly, "I said that on purpose in front of them. You know it doesn't count!"

"Doesn't count? That's even better."
