True Love Waits novel Chapter 1166

"Yes, there was a report from the hospital. Both your mother-in-law and I saw it ourselves. What's going on, Matthew? Why are you asking about all this stuff right now?" Wesley asked.

Matthew thought it unnecessary to hide anything from him. "Dad, can you do me a favor?"

"Go ahead."

"Can you call Rika now and ask her if she had a Caesarean section or a natural labor when she gave birth to Ethan?" Matthew asked cautiously.

Even for his age, Wesley was sharp as a tack and he understood what was going on at once. "Are you suspecting that Ethan isn't Erica's son?"

"Yes."

Matthew's intuitive hunches had rarely failed him before. Wesley took a moment to regain his breath as he started to feel dizzy. "Hold on a minute!"

"Okay!"

Meanwhile, when Erica was waiting for Matthew to come out of the bathroom, she suddenly received a call from Blair. "Hey, Mom!"

"Rika, were you sleeping?"

"No, I'm still watching a movie."

"You're watching a horror movie again!" Blair knew what she was watching without even having to ask.

"Yes. I'm waiting for Matthew to join me in the home theater room. How's Ethan doing?"

"He is playing with his toys. I have something to ask you."

"Go ahead!" Erica said curiously.

The unsuspecting girl had no idea that her mother was actually acting on behalf of her father. Blair portrayed a casual demeanor to Erica and said, "Honey, when you gave birth to Ethan, was it a C-section or a natural labor? I heard that there's a new vaccine on the market. Apparently, you can get two shots."

"What? Vaccine? For a C-section or a natural labor?" Erica panicked.

"Um, for... natural labor."

"Then I can't have it. I had a C-section," Erica said feigning a remorseful tone as she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, that's all right. That's all I wanted to know. Don't stay up late, sweetie."

"Okay. I'll talk to you later." After hanging up the phone, Erica patted her chest. Fortunately, she was quick enough to avert her mom's questions.

A few minutes later, Matthew finally returned to the home theater room.

Erica sat up and waved at him. "Come on. The movie is just about to start!"

When he walked in, Erica noticed Matthew holding a plate of peeled apple slices and a can of coke.

Erica was touched to see the peeled apple slices. "No wonder it took you so long. You were peeling apples for me downstairs!"

Erica took a bite when Matthew picked up a slice and brought it to her mouth.

The man snorted with laughter. "I didn't expect you to take it!"

Erica blinked her eyes in confusion. "Why wouldn't I?"

Matthew was rendered speechless, his face resembling a blank canvas.

The two sat together and continued to watch the movie. After Erica ate the last slice of apple, she rubbed her stomach and groaned, "I'm so full!"

Matthew's eyes glistened as soon as the idea popped into his mind. "Let me see how full your stomach is!" As soon as he finished his words, his palms were under her clothes, ready to feel her stomach.

Erica felt shy and she immediately shied away. "Don't! I'm really full..."

To her surprise, however, Matthew softly pressed his fingers on her stomach and gave it a rub, as he said, "Your stomach is quite round. Yeah, I guess you must be really full."

Erica didn't even have the time to react or say anything.
