True Love Waits novel Chapter 1217

"What are you talking about?" Erica asked.

Matthew looked at her coldly. It seemed like she hadn't taken him seriously.

Erica's hands trembled in anger. 'What is wrong with this man?'

If he continued to act this way without explaining the reason for his bad mood, she was really going to blow up.

"I'm not kidding! If you need my help again, come to me after we have become a real couple!" he declared.

Erica wanted to yell back, "Fine! I don't need any favors from you!"

But she couldn't yell at this man. Tessie's and Lenora's lives were in his hands. She said instead, "You don't have to be so mean. I just wanted to ask you something, Matthew."

The man retorted expressionlessly, "I am mean? All I want is to exercise my right as a husband!"

Erica was confused now. Hadn't she already promised to consummate their marriage on his birthday? Was he angry because he had to wait? It couldn't be. They had reached an agreement on that, and he seemed okay with it.

Seeing the frown on her face, Matthew turned around and walked to the bathroom.

Erica reached out her hand in an attempt to stop him, but when she remembered what he had just said, her hand froze midair and she withdrew it silently.

After taking a shower, Matthew went straight to the study, leaving Erica alone to toss and turn on the bed. She couldn't fall asleep because of everything that had happened.

No one knew if he had done it on purpose. As soon as Erica fell asleep, Matthew slowly pushed open the door to the bedroom and walked in.

The next morning, Erica got up early because she had extra-curricular activities that day. As she walked down the stairs with a muddled face, she saw Matthew having his breakfast.

Still mad, she snorted and walked towards the door.

He called, "Come back here!"

"What do you want?" she asked in a hostile tone.

'Isn't he still angry? He completely ignored me last night! Why is he talking to me now?' she thought gloomily.

"Have your breakfast."

"No need!" She was in no mood to eat with him.

"Give me one good reason!" he demanded.

'Do I need a reason for everything? Fine! I'll give him one!' she thought angrily. "It's not good to have breakfast on an empty stomach."

'What the hell? That's the most ridiculous excuse ever!' "Erica Li!" Matthew called, with a warning in his tone.

"What?" She turned around impatiently.

"If you take one more step towards that door, I'll have you sent to the deserted area with them tomorrow."

She gritted her teeth. "I knew it! You want to drive me away so that you and Phoebe can live together! You want me gone, don't you?"

'Phoebe? What does this have to do with her?' he wondered, confused when she wasn't making any sense.

Erica strode to the dining room and sat down opposite him, ignoring the man's frown. "Fine! You win! I'll eat!"

When he heard that Mrs. Huo would be having breakfast as well, the trembling cook immediately brought her share from the kitchen and placed it on the table in front of her.

After taking two bites from the sandwich, Erica looked at her gloomy husband, who was chewing his food slowly. She reminded him mischievously, "You should eat slower than that, or you might choke on it."

Matthew put down the spoon in his hand. A cold aura filled his eyes. "Are you trying to start a fight?"

"What if I am? What will you do?" she asked with a defiant look.

Expressionless, Matthew waved at her dismissively and said, "Never mind. You don't have to eat your breakfast. Leave already."
