True Love Waits novel Chapter 1137

Erica believed that Matthew had no reason to love her.

Since that was the case, she was relieved.

There were many people in the Huo family manor. It was as lively as a family reunion dinner on the Lunar New Year's Eve. Before the lunch began, Sheffield offered to bring drinks for everyone.

Since he didn't know what Erica preferred, he asked, "Rika, what would you like to drink?"

"Coke!" Erica answered without hesitation.

Terilynn took a sip of her juice and said excitedly, "What a coincidence, Erica. Matthew likes coke, too!"

Erica glanced at the man who was silently sitting beside her. She didn't expect him to like coke. She thought he was fond of red wine.

Joshua smiled and said, "The coke at home is prepared especially for Matthew. Well, it looks like someone is going to give Matthew competition for his coke from now on."

After grabbing two cans of coke, Sheffield placed them in front of Erica and Matthew. Then he walked to Joshua, patted his shoulder, and said, "How can you say that? Since Rika is Matthew's wife, he will happily share his coke with her. Right, Matthew?" Sheffield winked at Matthew.

Matthew glanced at Sheffield before he turned to Evelyn and said, "Evelyn, Sheffield mentioned that you've been in a bad mood lately."

"Hey, hey, don't get me into trouble, Matthew!" After saying that, Sheffield trotted briskly back to his seat and put his arm around Evelyn's shoulder. "Don't listen to him. I did say that you've been in a bad mood recently, but I also said that you've become more and more adorable!"

Without the slightest change in her expression, Evelyn poured some juice for Gwyn and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, I see. We'll talk about it later tonight."

Sheffield wanted to cry.

They knew that Evelyn preferred to talk with her husband behind closed doors. Given her temperament, Sheffield would end up on his knees, begging for forgiveness. This made everyone else burst into gales of laughter.

Carlos gazed at his son for a long time. When he sensed that his son didn't get his hint, he said gruffly, "Matthew, open the can of coke for Rika."

With widened eyes, Erica leaned forward, grabbed her can of coke, and said to Carlos, "Thank you, Dad. But I can open it myself."

Erica would never admit to being weak or vulnerable. How could she allow someone else to open her can of coke? She used to crush an apple with a single punch!

Matthew picked up the can of coke before him, opened it, put it in front of her, and stretched his hand.

Erica understood what he meant. Since the opened coke was in front of her, she didn't want to be pretentious. So, she handed the can in her hand to him. "Thank you!"

Debbie gazed at them, and asked with a smile, "Matthew, do you think Rika looks like a girl made of coke?"

'What?' Erica stared at Debbie as confusion coursed through her. She wondered what she was going to say.

Matthew, on the other hand, simply hummed. He had nothing to say!

"You think so, don't you? Evelyn is bossy and domineering, like a girl made of red wine. Rika is like a princess made of coke, who will explode if you don't treat her properly. So, you should be careful with her, Matthew." Debbie was subtly hinting at something. She was afraid that Matthew, who was similar to Carlos in character, might unwittingly hurt Erica.

Debbie's kindness deeply moved Erica. Before Matthew could say anything, she picked up a piece of baked chicken and placed it on Debbie's plate. "Mom, you are so nice to me!"

"Thank you, Rika." Debbie smiled as she lifted the chicken and put it into her mouth.

"You're welcome, Mom!"
