True Love Waits novel Chapter 1337

Although he didn't look back, Gifford was able to dodge Wesley's slipper, so it flew straight to the landing of the staircase.

"Get it back for me," Wesley growled from behind.

Gifford walked up to the slipper but didn't pick it up. Instead, he turned to Wesley, gave him a wicked grin, and kicked his slipper down to the ground floor.

"You bastard!" Wesley immediately picked up his remaining slipper and ran after his son.

Seeing him coming, Gifford dashed downstairs as fast as he could. So when Wesley reached the landing, he was already at the door of the living room.

Before opening the door, he turned to Wesley and said, "Dad, you can't do it anymore. You are already very old. You can't even catch up with me now."

Squinting his eyes, Wesley ignored his mockery and said, "Gifford, I remember there is something important we haven't told you yet." The last time that Gifford came home, Wesley and Blair only urged him to take Chantel and get their marriage licenses. No one had mentioned to him that Chantel was pregnant.

"What is it?" Gifford asked confusedly.

With a mysterious smile on his face, Wesley just said, "Never mind. I'm going to bed now."

Since he entered the military, Gifford had always been earnest and never went back on his word before his soldiers. But when Wesley refused to answer, he decisively returned to the living room and said with a cheeky smile, "Dad, I'll take your slipper upstairs." What Wesley wanted to tell him must be something important, so he was eager to know it.

"Never mind. I don't need my slipper anymore."

"Dad, I'll buy you a new pair of slippers." 'I'll buy you a pair of slippers worth 99 cents, ' he thought to himself.

But Wesley didn't even bother to answer him this time.

Feeling disappointed, he looked at the slipper and thought for a while, before he turned around and left.

As soon as he went out, he took his phone and sent a message to Erica, asking, "Rika, how are you now?"

It only took a short while when he received her response. "I'm doing fine."

'Since she is fine, I won't go to Y City anymore, ' he thought.

Inside their bedroom in the villa, Matthew took Erica's phone and put it on the bedside table. He then turned off the light and lay down beside her. They fell asleep in each other's arms.

When Erica woke up the next morning, Matthew was already tidying up his clothes, getting ready for work.

The moment he saw her eyes open, he turned around and handed her a bank card. "Phoebe has already transferred the ten million dollars."

She just stared at it for a long time before saying, "Mm."

He waited for her to take the card, but she didn't, so he ordered, "Take it."

"No, thanks," she refused unhesitatingly. She didn't want any money from the people she hated the most.

He didn't force her anymore. Instead, he said, "Have a good rest. I have to go to the company today. Just call me if you need anything."

She just answered in a low voice, "Mm."

Matthew was about to leave, but when he noticed her mood, he sat on the edge of the bed and pulled the quilt. He bent over and whispered in her ear, "I thought we're okay now that I've already explained everything to you."

He couldn't understand why she seemed to be still angry.

Erica shut her eyes and said, "Go to the company now." She was actually brewing a big plan.

He stood up and said, "Okay. But I'll come back at noon so we can have lunch together."

This time, she didn't say anything more, so he left.

What Matthew didn't know was as soon as he left, Erica immediately got up from the bed and took her phone to call Gifford.

It took a while before her call was answered, but it was not Gifford. "Hello, Erica. Gifford is busy right now. What's up?"

She recognized the man's voice as one of Gifford's soldiers. "Hi! I have something urgent to talk to him. When is he free?"
