True Love Waits novel Chapter 1321

"No, thanks. There's no need for that," Erica refused unhesitatingly.

Matthew stood up and walked up to her. He looked into her eyes through the mirror and said, "Don't be so stubborn."

She stopped drying her hair and explained patiently, "A pregnant woman is only required to have a checkup once a month. Besides, I'm just doing fine. I don't need to go to the hospital every half a month."

It was only two weeks ago when she had her last checkup. That was the time when they found out that she was pregnant with twins.

"But I'm worried," he insisted.

This time, she turned off the hairdryer, put it on the table, and turned to him before she asked, "Why are you worried now? You didn't even worry that night when you did something to me."

He was rude to her at that time, but he didn't worry about hurting the babies inside her belly.

His eyes darkened in an instant when he sensed the sarcasm in her voice. He suddenly became dispirited. "Just listen to me this time."

"No, I won't listen to you. But if you really insist, then I'll go to the hospital by myself. I don't want to bother you, Mr. Huo." Actually, she was still mad at him for what he did to her two nights ago. She didn't deserve that punishment he gave her.

Despite her firm objection, he still wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "They are my babies too. It's my responsibility to accompany you during your prenatal checkups."

"I already told you, no need. If you are really worried, just let Paige go with me." She shook his hands off, stood up, and was about to walk out.

But he didn't give her a chance to leave. He gently pressed her back to her seat, turned on the hairdryer, and skillfully began to dry her hair.

She was rendered speechless. He seemed to be using both hard and soft tactics.

The night was so peaceful. Matthew stopped working and also stopped Erica from playing with her phone. They went to bed earlier than usual and fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next morning, although Erica had agreed to have a checkup, she still didn't change her mind about not letting Matthew accompany her. Left with no choice, he called Paige to go with her to the hospital.

In A Country, Gifford had just arrived at the military base.

As soon as he got out of his car, his phone rang again. It was Rhea, who had been calling her many times these past few days. He wasn't able to answer all her calls because he was busy, so now he decided to take it. "Rhea, I'm sorry. I just came back from a mission."

"It's alright, Gifford. I'm sorry to bother you, but it's just urgent. I have a favor to ask you. Are you busy right now?" As much as possible, Rhea didn't want to bother Gifford. But she couldn't think of a more suitable person to help her than him.

"No, I'm free now. Go ahead, tell me." If it weren't for the fact that she was Erica's good friend, he wouldn't bother to answer her call.

He had only slept for a few hours in the past three days, so he wanted to have a good rest right away.

"Do you still remember my boyfriend? The one that you introduced to me," she reminded him.

"Yes." He nodded although she couldn't see him. He introduced several soldiers to her before, and she had chosen the one who was a year younger than her.

"He cheated on me, Gifford. I want to confront him, but he doesn't want to see me now. Can you ask him to talk to me? Only if you have time. If you are busy now, it's okay. I can wait." She had done everything to see him, but she failed, so she was desperate now.
