True Love Waits novel Chapter 1144

When the ceremony was over, Matthew and Phoebe saw the guests out at the entrance of the venue, while Erica quietly awaited them in a corner.

Even so, knowing that she was Matthew's wife, quite a few people still came by to say goodbye to Erica.

It was quite clear from their curious eyes that they had a lot of questions on their mind, but in light of the occasion, they decided to set aside their curiosity and leave with a brief goodbye.

About twenty minutes later, Matthew came in and found Erica, who was standing in the corner. "We can go now," he said.

"Oh... Okay!" She followed him out.

Phoebe was waiting for them just outside. When she saw Matthew and Erica, she took her bag from the staff and walked with them to the parking lot.

As they walked, Matthew suddenly spoke. "I'll ask my assistant to take you back home."

Just as Erica wondered who he was talking to, Phoebe stopped and stood in front of him. "Matthew, I've sorted out Nathan's belongings. I want to give some of them to you. Can we go to his house?"

After a brief pause, Matthew nodded, "Sure." Then he looked at Erica. "You..."

Erica felt it would be inappropriate for her to join them because she didn't know Nathan personally. Just as Matthew was about to say something, she cut him short. "Actually, I am supposed to meet my friend this afternoon to buy some stationeries. Why don't you go ahead? I can take a taxi home."

Matthew shot a baleful glance at her and said, "Who are you supposed to meet up with? You've already made a friend at school?"

"No, it's Hya...Well, you don't know him anyway. He is my friend from A Country and now he's transferred to my school. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine!" In truth, she never had an appointment with Hyatt; she had just made up an excuse to leave.

"Wait!" Matthew stopped her.

Erica turned around in confusion.

Matthew said to Paige, "Take Mrs. Huo home first. I'll ask Owen to send someone to pick us up."

"Yes, Mr. Huo." Paige looked at Erica and opened the door for her, "Mrs. Huo, please get in the car."

Erica quickly waved her hands at Matthew and said, "No need, Matthew. I can wait a little longer since I have nothing else to do. You two have important things to do; I don't want to take up your time!"

Erica meant every word she had said because she didn't have anything important to do, whereas, Matthew had a lot on his plate already. The least she could do was to get out of his hair.

Matthew seemed to have lost his patience. "What? Mrs. Huo, do you want me to carry you into the car?"

Erica's face went blank; she was rendered speechless. Could it be because she didn't explain herself clearly or was there something wrong with his ability to understand her words?

'Forget it!' she sighed inwardly. Erica knew better than to test Matthew, because he was the kind of person who wouldn't think twice about acting on his words. To avoid further embarrassment, she gave up and got into the car. She rolled the window down and waved at them, "Goodbye!"

Matthew nodded his head in response. As the car drove away out of the parking lot, he called someone else to pick them up from there.

In Nathan's apartment, Phoebe placed a box in front of Matthew and said, "These are all things Nathan had from you. I've sorted them out. Do you want to keep them or..."

Matthew reached into the box and found several photo frames and gifts he had given to Nathan when he was alive. "I'll take them with me."

"Okay."

When he stood up and turned around to leave with the box, Phoebe called out to him. "Matthew."

The man stopped and turned around.
