True Love Waits novel Chapter 1186

After getting his praise, Erica seemed delighted. She ran to look at herself in the mirror happily.

"Matthew, are these stud earrings too eye-catching?" It was true. From their very appearance, they seemed precious. One could tell at a glance that these jewels were worth a lot.

Matthew didn't seem to think so. "No, they aren't," he said.

"Well, what if I lose them?" She had lost a lot of things owing to her rash and careless character in the past. And with that in mind, even the thought of wearing the huge diamond ring Matthew had given was too much for her.

He replied indifferently, "If you lose something, then you get something new."

"Won't you blame me for losing something so valuable?"

"No, I won't."

"Matthew. Are you really not going to give these to your goddess instead of me?" He was being so good to her that she was both flattered and confused!

He cast a cold glance at the inquisitive girl in front of him and replied shortly, "You have too many questions. I'm busy right now." Then he turned around and walked into the bathroom.

Erica looked at her image in the mirror in confusion. Was she really asking too many questions? She had only asked four or five questions.

This man was way too impatient!

'Yes! He's such an impatient man!'

That night, as usual, Erica went to sleep with the Wuba doll in her arms, and was fast asleep before Matthew had finished his work in the study.

At about eleven o'clock, his phone rang. It was Phoebe. "Hello."

"Matthew, I need a favor from you," she said; there was a hint of expectation in her voice. And that expectation was justified at least to her; he was the only one in the world who could satisfy all her requirements.

"Okay. What's it?"

"I heard that Maestro GL recently released a new pair of ear studs. They were limited edition but I saw the photos online and really liked the element of cheetah. Sadly, they were bought by some mysterious person so they're out of my hands. Could you...?" She paused.

Matthew frowned as he heard her words. If Phoebe had asked for something else tonight, he would have agreed without hesitation.

However, Erica really liked what Phoebe wanted.

"That mysterious person is me."

"Oh, I see! So you bought them. That's great. Matthew, can you give the earrings to me if you don't need them?" Phoebe knew that Matthew didn't care about the money. Looking back, more than half of the money she had spent on herself as well as the baby in her womb had come from Matthew's pocket. Therefore, she now took whatever Matthew had for granted.

After a moment's silence, Matthew confessed, "I've already given them to someone else."

"What? Oh. I see..." Phoebe's tone was full of disappointment, but she still wanted to make some efforts. Maybe he'd change his mind. "Can't you give something else to that person?"

"No. She likes them very much as well..." Matthew had always been a straightforward person in front of outsiders.

Phoebe was at a loss for words. She was disappointed and embarrassed, but she had no choice. "I see. Can I ask who you gave them to?"

"My wife."

That meant there was no hope for Phoebe anymore. There was silence on the phone. After a long time, she managed to find her voice and replied, "Oh, okay, then I won't disturb you anymore. Good night."

"Night."

After hanging up the phone, Matthew didn't go back to work. Instead, he turned off his computer and shuffled towards his bedroom.

The girl was fast asleep, and he again had to maneuver her into his arms before falling asleep together.

The next afternoon, Erica completed her class and then decided to abandon Hyatt and go find her husband.

Perhaps she would have a chance to take a few pictures of that handsome man while he was working, so that she could deal with Professor Feng's assignment next time.

She told Hyatt before leaving school, "Listen. You can go and read something in the dormitory by yourself. If you have nothing else to do, try and find a girl, go talk to her, and enjoy a bit. I think your mother also wants you to date a girl. I need to go find my husband, so I can't accompany you."
