True Love Waits novel Chapter 1272

When he heard what Matthew said, Harmon was confused. He looked at the sky. It was an overcast autumn day, and the wind was chilly. How could it be hot?

Owen thought for a bit and asked, "Mr. Huo, would you like to go for a walk?"

"I just got off work. I'm beat," Matthew replied indifferently.

It meant that he didn't want to take a walk now.

Owen rolled his eyes secretly and thought to himself, 'Mr. Huo, that's your wife. You can go inside and check on her if you want! Why do you have to pretend?' "Look, Mr. Huo! There's a cafe nearby! And they're running a special. Buy one cup of coffee, and get a second one free. How about you and Mr. Lu get something to drink there?" Owen suggested, knowing what was on his boss' mind.

Harmon sneered when he heard that. 'You gotta be kidding me. You think Matthew cares about a free cup of coffee? Try harder, man!'

Out of the blue, Matthew answered, "Good idea!"

Harmon was shocked and couldn't believe his ears. His smile froze on his face. Since when did Matthew care so much about the price of a cup of coffee? Had marriage changed him so much?

Harmon and Matthew entered the cafe together. And Harmon quickly figured out why Matthew was so interested in this cafe. It had everything to do with certain patrons, sitting at the table in front of the French window. 'I knew it! Why would he care about a free cup of coffee? He doesn't. It looks like his wife is here, drinking coffee with another guy.'

He smiled and followed Matthew to a table next to Erica's.

With her back to them, Erica didn't see Matthew enter the cafe.

Watkins didn't seem to notice Matthew either. He was asking Erica what she wanted to drink.

Harmon had just concluded his business with Matthew, and decided to take a break. And what better way to spend his free time than having a cup of coffee with the jealous man? All he had to do now was sit back and watch the show.

Erica was here to hammer things out with Watkins, so she didn't really care what she had to drink. She finally decided on a latte, just so they could get to the things she really wanted to talk about.

After the waitress left, she cut right to the chase. "What did Mr. Wang do when he was young?"

"I don't know much about that. I didn't have anyone look into him. If I'd thought about it more, I would have. If we knew more, we'd be able to figure out how to deal with him. But here we are, without a plan." Watkins fixed his eyes on Erica.

But she didn't know he was staring at her. She just looked at the table and nodded thoughtfully.

She was about to say something when her phone vibrated. Matthew had texted her. "Where are you?" he asked.

Erica looked at her phone in distress. Should she tell the truth? She didn't think that would go over well. After all, Matthew had warned her several times to stay away from Watkins.

She dodged his question and texted him back. "What's up?"

But Matthew was insistent. "Where are you?" he repeated.

"Outside," she answered. Simple, short, to the point.

"You with someone?"

Erica didn't want to lie to Matthew, but she was afraid that he would get angry. She decided to lie to him. "I'm alone."

'It's just a white lie. It doesn't matter, right? What he doesn't know won't hurt him, ' she thought to herself.

She lied to him because she didn't want him to get upset.

When Matthew saw her reply, his face darkened.

Erica was seeing Watkins behind his back. And now, she even lied to him. He was livid.

Matthew called a waitress over, ordered a glass of lemonade and had it sent to Erica's table.
