True Love Waits novel Chapter 1159

"Of course not. Are you or aren't you my hubby? Aren't you the least bit curious who the father is? This isn't weird."

'Am I hearing things? She wants me to go with her to meet her lover, and claims it's normal husband-like behavior?' Matthew thought. He found Erica weird but adorable. While she was waiting for an answer, he turned around and declared, "I don't know about you, but I'm hungry! Let's grab a bite first!"

Erica was surprised. 'Huh? What does he mean? Was that a yes or a no? Whatever! He has to go with me no matter what!' Thinking of that, Erica walked up to him and said, "Okay, go wash your hands. I'll get you a bowl of soup."

She was always like that. When she wanted his help, she would call him Matthew in a sweet tone. And when she was not happy, she would refer to him as "Matthew Huo" or "the guy whose surname is Huo."

He said nothing and went straight to the bathroom.

The corners of his mouth lifted into a cunning smile.

During dinner, Erica was very enthusiastic. She not only got him a bowl of soup, but she also picked up food for him and put it on his plate.

When Matthew was done, Erica rested her chin on her hand and asked sweetly, "So, you're going with me, right, Matthew?"

He had eaten his fill, and was still getting what he wanted. Matthew feigned an indifferent tone and answered simply, "Yes."

Erica was very happy to hear it. "Got an idea of where we're going?"

The smile on her face annoyed Matthew. He threw the used napkin in the trash. "You can't wait to see him?"

"Who? You mean Ethan's biological father? You're kidding, right? I couldn't care less if I never saw him again! But he's right. He's the biological father. That's why I'm doing this." Erica hated Tam's guts. How could she possibly want to see him?

And for a moment, she regretted her decision. Apparently, it was annoying Matthew.

The disgust in her eyes satisfied him. He didn't need to worry.

At Orchid Private Club

When the door to the private room was opened once more, Erica sat on the sofa, playing with Ethan.

A man in a long dark blue overcoat walked in. He looked like a modest gentleman.

By all appearances, he appeared around thirty years old, but in fact, he was already over forty.

After taking a few hesitant steps, he saw the baby on the sofa, who already had a single, lower incisor. Excitement glinted in his eyes, and the man said, "My son!"

He was usually calm, cool, and collected, but this was a happy occasion. He strode quickly up to Erica, and held out his arms to hold his son.

Erica was quicker. She stood up, Ethan in her arms. She glared at Tam and demanded, "What's the rush? Where were you when Tessie was pregnant, nursing swollen feet and a bad case of morning sickness? Where were you when she was pushing this lovely human being out of her? That's right. You weren't there. I called you a million times, but you didn't answer. You blocked my number!"

A trace of guilt appeared on Tam's face. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I told you I can explain everything..."

Erica shut him down. "Save it. I knew you didn't want to endanger your marriage."

Yes, he was married, and had a daughter, Julianna Wu, who was about the same age as Erica. Julianna Wu, Tessie, and Erica were good friends.

This time, Tam didn't say anything, which meant that she was right.

Erica spoke again. "If Julianna knew her dad had an affair with her friend, had a kid with her... what do you think she'd do? She's always been proud of you. Do you think she'd be as proud if she knew the truth?" Luckily, Erica and Julianna Wu hadn't seen each other for a long time, so she didn't have to worry that she'd bring it up, even accidentally.

Tam had kept his eyes on Ethan. He didn't even turn his head until he heard his daughter's name. "Don't tell her—please! I'll do whatever you want. Can I hold my son now?"

The eager look on his face was so obvious. That was why Erica reluctantly gave the baby to him.

In fact, when Ethan smiled, he looked a lot like Tam, especially the eyes.
