True Love Waits novel Chapter 1233

Although Erica didn't live with Ethan, she had kept Tessie company for the nine months she had been pregnant and had brought him back home after Tessie had given birth to him. Erica had a deep connection with that little boy.

"Okay, tell Mom not to be upset when Ethan leaves. If she's that sad, Matthew and I can give her a grandchild. Besides, my sister will get married soon, and so will my brother. You and Mom will have a handful of grandchildren sooner or later," said Erica, trying to comfort her dad.

Wesley sighed silently and snorted. "I am here with your mother and I will comfort her."

'This girl is so silly! She is kind-hearted and always does something that would make us feel bad for her. I hope she doesn't do anything that will hurt herself again, ' he thought to himself.

Erica nodded. She didn't need to worry about her mother while her father was around. "Good."

Just then, she heard a familiar voice. "Erica!"

Erica looked up reflexively and saw Watkins waving at her.

He looked handsome in his black casual coat and expensive sneakers.

"Who is that?" Wesley asked. He had sharp ears and clearly heard a man call out Erica's name. As far as he knew, Matthew was on a business trip. He hoped that his silly daughter wouldn't do something that would make Matthew misunderstand her.

"Just a friend. I'm outside with Rhea now. Talk to you later. Bye!" Erica had a clear conscience. After answering her dad's question, she hung up the phone without a second thought.

Wesley was rendered speechless. 'Where is this girl? And why is there a man with her? Never mind! I trust her. Better to leave her be, ' he thought.

When Watkins trotted over to her, he saw that she had been on the phone. He apologized as she put her phone away. "Sorry, I didn't realize that you were talking to someone."

"No problem. Why are you here?" she asked. Erica looked behind him and saw several rich young men standing there, waiting for Watkins.

With his hands in his pockets, Watkins raised his chin at them and then said to her, "Just hanging out with my buddies. What about you?"

Erica waved at his friends with a friendly smile and said, "My best friend from A Country is here for a visit. We were just having some fun together." Erica had a good impression of Watkins. She was someone who liked making friends, and Watkins was already kind of a friend. She had met him several times now.

He nodded and proposed, "Since we are all here, why don't we have fun together?"

"Uh, I don't think that's a good idea." She didn't know his friends, and they were all men.

Watkins saw through her discomfort and promised, "Don't worry, it's okay. You saved my life. I won't let anyone bully you. You don't have to be so wary of them. They are my good friends, and won't do anything to annoy you. And as for me, you can rest assured. I won't do anything stupid either, because I know you are Mrs. Huo."

Amused by his slightly humorous words, Erica nodded gracefully. "Okay! My friends are in the booth. Make sure to tell your friends not to mess around!"

"Alright!"

Bars tended to be unpredictable places, and some people would lose control after getting drunk. But with Watkins' guarantee of good behavior, Erica led the men to the booth.

Around that same time, Rhea was filled with regret because she had let Erica go out alone. She stood up from her seat and was about to go out to look for her friend when Erica walked in.

Rhea breathed a sigh of relief. Her hands flying all around her, she shouted, "Rika, you scared me to death! I was about to go out and look for you! Hmm? Who are they?" Rhea finally noticed the group of men behind her.

The man next to Erica was really handsome.

Erica introduced them. "Watkins, this is my best friend, Rhea, and this is my classmate, Hyatt. Rhea, Hyatt, this is my friend, Watkins."
