True Love Waits novel Chapter 1356

"If you know what I mean, what is it then?" Matthew thought she wouldn't understand what he meant.

Thinking about the letter she left to him three years ago, Erica sniffed and said, "Have you met a very excellent woman?" That was the only reason she could think of

why he divorced and abandoned her. She guessed it wrong, and he had already expected that she wouldn't really understand what he wanted to say. But since she was not willing to go back with him, he thought it would be useless to explain it.

So instead of answering her, he just gave her an extremely cold look, turned around, and strode to his car.

Matthew's car left Tow Village immediately. But at the gate of Erica's house, a lot of curious villagers still stood. They enjoyed what they had witnessed just now, so they didn't leave the place.

Holding back the tears that were about to fall, she went back to the yard, closed the gate, and washed her face quietly.

Tessie, who had been in the room when Erica and Matthew talked, heard everything. After making sure that Matthew had left, she came to Erica and comforted her, "Erica, are you okay?"

Erica turned around and replied with a smile, "Yeah, I'm fine." She then finished washing her face and began brushing her teeth.

"I think Mr. Huo still has feelings for you. After all, he flew thousands of kilometers just to see you. Don't overthink things," Tessie said. Y City was more than three thousand kilometers away from the nearest airport to Tow Village. All in all, Matthew had traveled over six thousand kilometers back and forth.

Erica stopped brushing her teeth upon realizing that Tessie made sense. She took the toothbrush out of her mouth and said, "He must still be angry at me for leaving without saying a word three years ago. And yesterday, when he asked me if I would go back to Y City with him, I said no."

"Well, since you left Y City just like that, leaving only a letter, even your parents must be angry. You can't blame Mr. Huo," said Tessie.

Erica nodded and replied, "That's actually one of the reasons why I don't want to go back. I'm afraid that my father will skin me alive as soon as he sees me."

Because of what she said, Tessie persuaded her, "You better go back as soon as possible. Don't wait for your dad to come here, or else the consequences will be dire."

"You are right." Erica made up her mind. She would go back to Y City as soon as possible after she had dealt with everything.

'So what if Matthew has a new woman by his side now? I believe I can also drive her away like what I did to Phoebe and Camille, ' Erica thought to herself.

Meanwhile, two luxury cars were driving out of the village. Matthew's face darkened upon remembering what had just happened. They hadn't seen each other for more than three years, but Erica seemed to have become more heartless. She didn't even stop him from leaving. As soon as his car drove away, she turned around and entered the yard without looking back.

Owen, who was sitting in the front seat, looked back at him and asked, "Mr. Huo, is it really appropriate that we lied to Mrs. Huo?"

'It is impossible for Mr. Huo to divorce Mrs. Huo. In the past three years, he has never given up looking for her even just for one day. He is not going to end their marriage, just like this, ' he thought inwardly.

But Matthew just cast a cold glance at him and said, "Watch your mouth."

Owen was a little confused, trying to analyze if there was something wrong with what he said. After thinking about it for a long time, he just kept quiet because he failed to see what was wrong with his question.

Matthew seemed to have read his mind, so he explained calmly, "It was you who lied to her, not me."

"What?" Owen's eyes widened in shock. He had worked with Matthew for many years, but he still couldn't understand what he was thinking.

Matthew continued, "Remember, I just said, 'Owen is trying to tell you we are no longer married.' It was you who said, 'Mr. Huo has already divorced you.' Have you forgotten about it?"

With confusion written all over his face, Owen retorted, "But Mr. Huo, it was you who asked me to say those..."

"Yes. That's why it was you who lied to her, not me," Matthew cut in. Since it wasn't him who told Erica that they were already divorced, it meant that he didn't lie to her.

For the first time in his life, Owen had realized how scheming his boss was. He never thought that he had planned to shift all the blame to him.

As a consolation, Matthew added, "Didn't you eat the noodles cooked by Rika? I was actually going to make you pay for that. But since you will take the blame for me, I will forgive you for eating the food she made for me."
