True Love Waits novel Chapter 1180

With Matthew not at home, Erica simply did not have the courage to watch horror movies by herself. She would be alone in the villa and therefore, horror wasn't a good idea. Apart from focusing on her classes, she mostly hung out with Hyatt, who was the only good friend she had.

Matthew had left on his business trip four days ago, and Erica was yet to receive a call from him. He hadn't even texted her once. The more Erica thought about it, the angrier she became.

But this anger was all she had. There was nothing else for her to do.

Without Matthew around, she was bored.

Some respite from the loneliness came in the form of Debbie and Carlos's return to Y City. That evening, Debbie came to see her.

The two women hadn't seen each other in a long time. They hugged each other and then walked inside, talking excitedly and choosing a new topic every step of the way.

Debbie was carrying a suitcase full of gifts for Erica. She couldn't wait to show her everything she'd got. And when she found out that she was going to have to repack and get it upstairs if she opened it downstairs first, she directly took the elevator to the bedroom. There was no point opening it twice and ruining the surprise.

"Come and see what I got for you," she told Erica excitedly.

"What is it?" Erica asked, curious.

"So... many... things! Come on. Tell me you like them or not?"

Erica watched her mother-in-law open the suitcase and saw that she wasn't lying. There really was everything in it. Food, clothing, knickknacks, everything she could need!

"Try this camisole on. Do you like it?" Debbie excitedly brought out a nightdress in the color of red wine and handed it to her.

But the color seemed a bit dull and formal. Erica hesitated for a second. After seeing the style, she refused, "Mom, this is not my style. I think Evelyn would like it more..."

It was obviously a mature woman's style.

But Debbie stopped her from saying anything else. "No. I bought it for you. I know it's not your style but hear me out, okay? Every man wants his woman to be sexy and charming. You can't always wear cartoon-based pajamas in front of Matthew. You have to change your style occasionally..."

"But, Mom. I won't even look good in this dress..." And to be honest, even if she didn't wear anything at all, Matthew might not even look at her, because he didn't like her. It didn't matter what kind of pajamas she was wearing, or whether she was wearing pajamas at all.

"Don't tell me you won't look good. My Rika is very cute and good-looking. She looks good no matter what she wears. Now be a good girl and try this on!" Debbie shoved the dress back to her and pushed her into the closet.

Inside, Erica stood in front of the mirror and looked at the cartoon pajamas she was still wearing. For the first time in her life, she wondered if it really was not cute. Had she been wrong the whole time?

After hesitating for a while, she finally changed into the wine-red camisole. It was a bit strange to wear a new style, but she walked out anyway.

Debbie's eyes lit up when she saw her daughter-in-law. She walked around her and said, "The size I chose is just right. And you look so beautiful in it. But I guess one thing could be better..."

"What is it?" The dress seemed remarkable enough as it was.

"Too much cloth! It would be better if it were a bit shorter!"

Erica was speechless. Was she too conservative? Or was her mother-in-law too outgoing?

The hem of the dress was already above her knees. Would it still be a dress if it got any shorter? Just like the wedding dress she had tried before, the V-shaped neck was so low it was about to reach her belly. And yet Debbie thought there was still too much fabric? What more, or less, could she want?

It had to be said that Debbie really was Matthew's mother. She knew exactly how to make her son happy.

Debbie handed her something else and said, "Come here and have a look at this. Don't be shy." But then, she lowered her voice, "Don't worry. I bought it secretly. You two can use it during sex to add some fun."

Erica was confused, "What's this?"

"Ha ha, you'll know it when you see it." Debbie smiled mysteriously.

The box was all in English, and the picture was an oval object that seemed weirdly like... No!
