True Love Waits novel Chapter 1143

To get back at Lilith, Erica swore to herself that she would marry her youngest son, Hyatt Li, who was her classmate at the time.

If she were to become Lilith's daughter-in-law, then she would make her take care of the children, wash clothes and cook for them!

That being said, she never expected that things wouldn't go according to plan. In the end, she didn't marry Hyatt. Instead, she got married to a man whom she thought she didn't even have anything to do with!

Letting out a helpless sigh, Hyatt knew it all along. But in his eyes, Erica was much like an angel completely beyond his reach. She was way out of his league, so he never really wanted her to marry him. "Is Mr. Huo treating you well?" he asked.

"Yes! He always treats me well. And he gives me a lot of money!" Erica couldn't hold back her excitement. "Let's go to the snack bar. I'll treat you to some sausages!"

'But a sausage only costs five dollars. Am I being too stingy?' she suddenly thought. So, she quickly went on and added, "And a cup of hot 'U Loveit.'" 'Ten dollars in total. I'm being quite generous, if I may say so myself!'

"Thanks!" Hyatt wasn't so hard to please. Truth be told, he was already very happy with just one sausage, what more if she threw in a cup of his favorite "U Loveit" as well!

From the moment the second class started, wherever Erica went, Hyatt followed her like a lackey. It seemed like they went back to their old days.

At lunchtime, Erica was thinking of inviting Hyatt for lunch. However, while they were on their way to the school canteen, she received a call from Matthew. "Where are you?" he asked curtly.

"I'm heading toward the canteen right now. What's up?"

There was only static on the other end of the line. It seemed that she had totally forgotten about the conversation they had that morning. "You promised me this morning that you're going to attend the seventh-day ceremony of Nathan's death."

"What? Oh... Did I?" Erica blurted out as she stood there in shock.

Cudgeling her brains out, she vaguely remembered that she indeed seemed to have promised that. Her eyes felt so heavy that she actually fell asleep soon after.

Looking at the pink sportswear she had on, she realized that it wouldn't be right to attend the seventh-day ceremony wearing that. "It slipped my mind. I have no change of clothes with me. What am I going to do?"

"I'll wait for you at the school gate."

"Okay!" Actually, Erica had no idea why he decided to ask her to go with him, but she didn't have any reason to refuse either.

After all, Nathan was a good friend of Matthew's, and it was the seventh-day ceremony after his death. As Matthew's lawfully wedded wife, she should at least come with him as well.

With that in mind, she said to Hyatt, "You poor boy, I have to go now. I don't have classes in the afternoon, so I guess I won't be coming back here. Let's just have lunch together some other time. You should fix your own schedule in the afternoon, okay? I'm leaving now."

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? Did something happen?" Hyatt asked in confusion.

"There's some urgent matter I have to attend to. I don't have time to explain it right now. I really have to go! Bye!" With that, Erica hurriedly left.

A black Emperor pulled over by the side of the road. When he saw Erica running out of the school, Matthew immediately opened the door and got out.

The luxury car drew the attention of many people. And when they saw Matthew get out of the car, all those who were passing by were shocked. So much so that they even exclaimed in excitement.

Erica stopped in her tracks in front of Matthew, trying to catch her breath. "Why didn't you call me in advance? I would've come out much earlier!"

Casting her a quick glance, he flatly replied, "You've forgotten what you promised me this morning. Are you seriously trying to blame me for not calling you earlier?"

Upon hearing his response, Erica came to realize that she was indeed the one in the wrong here. So, she tried to put on a smile and said, "All right. It's my fault. We should hurry up. Get in the car!"

Matthew was rather satisfied with her attitude. For that reason, he didn't mind it anymore and just stepped aside to let her get in the car.

He brought her to a restaurant so she could have lunch first, then bought her a black outfit at the mall. After she was done changing into the black clothes, they immediately went to the venue where the seventh-day ceremony was going to be held.
