True Love Waits novel Chapter 1199

Erica figured that if she didn't go to the charity auction with Matthew, her husband would definitely ask Phoebe to accompany him.

Matthew didn't answer right away. Phoebe's name hadn't even crossed his mind at that point.

Nonetheless, he nodded calmly, "Well, yeah. I wouldn't want to waste my time looking for someone else."

Erica handed him the banana peel and said, "If you throw that into the trash can for me, I'll go with you."

It was really childish, but she just didn't want to leave her seat.

"If you don't want to go, don't force yourself to do so." He remained in his seat.

"I want to! Why wouldn't I want to go? How could I refuse such a good opportunity?" If she didn't go, she would be creating an opportunity for her husband to spend his time and money on Phoebe! 'No way! That woman had treated me like that. Why should I create opportunities for Phoebe to be with Matthew?'

After getting the answer he had hoped for, Matthew stood up to dispose the banana peel.

He took out his phone and made a call. After making some arrangements, he returned to Erica and watched TV with her for a while.

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang. Erica, who had dozed off in Matthew's arms, woke up with a start when she heard the doorbell. "Who is it?"

Matthew checked his phone and then answered, "I'll get it."

Erica sat up straight and watched as he walked to the door.

She heard Paige's voice. "Mr. Huo, we've brought everything that you had asked for. And the chefs are here too."

"Good." Matthew entered the living room first.

Paige walked in after him, followed by several others, all carrying boxes in their hands. The two chefs at the back of the group went straight to the kitchen.

Matthew called out to Erica, "Come and have a look."

Four people carried in two racks of clothes—evening dresses of different styles and colors.

Paige opened one of the wooden cases which was filled with stylish shoes, and several brocade boxes beside it were filled with all kinds of jewelry.

All Erica had to do was choose.

She looked at Matthew in astonishment and asked him in a low voice, "Is the auction that grand? Do I need to be dressed so formally?"

"Not really. These are simple dresses." In Matthew's eyes, these were not the kind of evening dresses a woman would wear at a grand banquet. It was suitable for special activities and small parties.

'Whatever you say, ' Erica thought with a smile. She walked to the clothes rack and tried to choose the best one. She asked the man behind her, "Isn't it still too early? I have classes this afternoon."

"Pick the dress now. You won't have to do it in a hurry later. After class, you can have dinner and then do your hairdressing. I think you can make it in time that way." Matthew had arranged everything in advance.

"Alright!"

With his help, Erica carried a few dresses upstairs and tried them on. Finally, she decided on a light pink Korean dress with a short front and a long back hemline.

It was a halter dress, with her collarbones and shoulders slightly exposed, and the hemline was embroidered with flower petals.

She chose crystal stilettos to go with the dress.

Erica didn't pay much attention to the jewelry. She didn't need to wear a necklace since it was a halter dress, and she preferred the earrings which she was already wearing. She also picked out a platinum bracelet to go with the crystal shoes and the pink dress.

Post lunch, the chocolate batter in the fridge was frozen. Erica took out a chocolate bar and bit into it. Matthew's handmade chocolate was yummier than the ones sold outside!

She grabbed a square piece and brought it near Matthew's mouth. "Have a taste of your own cooking. It's so delicious!"

After hesitating for a moment, he finally opened his mouth.

"I'll give some to Gwyn when I pass by their place," she said.

Sheffield's villa was less than a kilometer away from Matthew's.
