True Love Waits novel Chapter 1134

Evelyn smiled at Godwin and reminded him, "Don't forget to ask Aunt Erica to call Uncle Matthew, okay? Tell him to come as well so we can all have lunch together."

Hearing this, Godwin immediately passed his mom's words on to Erica. "Aunt Erica, Mom said you should call my uncle Matthew and ask him to come with you."

"Okay."

As soon as she hung up the phone, Erica instantly regretted making that promise so soon. In truth, she was afraid Matthew might turn down her request.

Unfortunately, she had already promised Evelyn to go back to the manor to have lunch. So, she was left with no other choice but to give Matthew a call.

This time, the phone kept ringing for a long time before he picked it up. "Hello?"

"Well, I was just on the phone with Evelyn, and she asked me to come with you to the manor for lunch this noon," she said.

"I already have an appointment for lunch."

"Is that so? All right then! Sorry for bothering you. Go back to whatever you were doing. I'll just tell Evelyn about it."

"Tell her what?"

Hearing this, Erica was a bit confused. "Of course I'm going to tell her that you've already made plans so you can't come with me."

"Then you're planning to go back to the manor by yourself?"

"Yes!" 'Is there anything wrong with that? Why was he asking these questions?' she wondered.

There was only static on the other side of the line. "Pick me up in half an hour," Matthew said.

"You want me to pick you up?

But... Didn't you just say that you have an appointment?"

"I can't come to the appointment knowing that you're going back to the manor by yourself," he helplessly said.

"But why?" she asked, clearly still at such a loss.

There was a hint of disdain in his tone as he replied, "You attending the family gathering without me? There's no way Carlos is going to allow such a thing to happen! Do you get it now? Stupid!"

'Oh, so he's afraid of his dad as well!' she thought, laughing deep inside. Hearing this, she flew off the handle and said, "It's your fault! You didn't make it clear to me in the first place. Why are you calling me stupid? For as long as you explain it a little more, I'll be able to understand."

"My fault?"

"Of course. Are you seriously blaming me? You're a man. Aren't you the least bit ashamed of being so petty?"

"In half an hour, I need to see you in my office! If you are even one second late, I won't arrange a dorm for you to have noon breaks in the college anymore."

His threat instantly made Erica so infuriated. "You've gone too far, Matthew Huo!" Was she being too easy on him recently? Was that the reason why he was being so rude, overbearing and unreasonable?!

At that moment, she couldn't comprehend how his woman could possibly put up with his odd behavior.

However, Matthew still didn't apologize to her and even continued to provoke her. "So what? You want to come here and hit me?"

"You seriously think I won't dare?" If she got angry, she wouldn't mind beating anyone, even herself!

"Half an hour. I'm going to start the countdown this instant. Remember, one second late, and your request about arranging a dorm will be dismissed."

This left her fuming with anger. 'Well! You really believe that I won't do that, don't you?'

After hanging up the phone in anger, she grabbed her bag and left the villa in such a hurry. Then, she asked the driver to take the shortcut and take her to the company as soon as possible.

In just twenty minutes, Erica showed up at the lobby of the ZL Group's building.

She still knew to be mindful of her image in front of the staff, so she didn't come rushing in and simply walked in a fast pace.
