True Love Waits novel Chapter 1371

Although Matthew wanted Erica to stay away from other men, she had been training with several male soldiers. Therefore, how could she do as he asked? Besides, it was Wesley who insisted that she should train among the soldiers. 'Why didn't he just go to Dad? Why did he come here to teach me a lesson instead? What a jerk!' Erica thought, doing her best to roll her eyes discreetly.

Putting his hand on her waist, Matthew asked sternly, "Do you still want to argue?"

She shook her head immediately. "No, no, no."

He had come to her with an invitation to take her to lunch. But despite his words, he had brought her to this place so they could have sex. Now she had missed lunchtime in the base.

At that moment, Matthew regained his usual and elegant image as he dressed neatly again. Afterward, he got out of the car and lit a cigarette.

Leaning against the car window, Erica smoothed her messy hair and called the man smoking outside, "Hey, Matthew! I'm hungry. Let's go and have lunch!"

Matthew breathed out a mouthful of smoke before he looked at the flushed woman in front of him. However, she soon became blurry through the haze. "Come with me," he offered.

'Come with him? Back to Y City?' she wondered. "No, no. I haven't met Wendy yet. I've promised to see her before leaving for Y City. Why don't you wait for me so that we can go back together?" she asked. She didn't want to break her promise.

She planned to return to Y City after she met Wendy, and then her two best friends—Hyatt and Rhea.

Upon hearing her answer, Matthew didn't say anything back. He stubbed out the cigarette and called Owen, to whom he ordered, "Let's go!"

More than ten minutes later, the luxury car dropped her off at the base.

With a hat in her hand, the woman stood in front of the gate in shock as she watched the luxury car driving away again. 'How could Matthew, my husband, do such a thing to me?

He said he was going to take me to lunch! Yet he took me to the wilderness to have sex with me. And then he sent me back with an empty stomach.

What a jerk!'

As it was already past lunchtime, Erica didn't find the canteen's door open. So she went to the snack bar and bought a box of instant noodles along with some other snacks.

Then she slowly made her way back, trying to balance the snacks and the box of noodles in her hands when a soldier she had never seen before walked towards her with a big smile. "Aren't you Gifford's sister?"

She smiled at him and answered, "Yes, Gifford is my brother."

Noticing the stuff in her hands, he asked, "Why did you buy these? Didn't you have enough food during lunch? Or did you simply skip it?"

Erica held the instant noodles in her arms and said wistfully, "The second option, I haven't eaten anything yet."

The man laughed. "If you go out and tell people about this, they will say that we're bullying you. Let's go. I'll take you to the canteen and tell them to cook you something."

'Cook me something?' Erica's eyes lit up as she asked cheerfully, "Really?"

The man was amused by her. "Why would I lie to you?"

"Great! Thank you so much!"

Luckily, Erica met a kind-hearted man and ended up having a nice meal thanks to him.

After lunch, she rested for some time before going to the training ground.

However, she wasn't fit for the training at all. As soon as she got there, she asked straightly for a leave with the excuse that she had a stomachache.

But while Tessie was still practicing with the soldiers, Erica felt embarrassed to go back to the dormitory on her own and decided to sit nearby to watch the rest of the training.

Less than an hour later, Wesley showed up with a long face. Erica was feeling a bit lazy up until she saw her father. Immediately, she put on a bright smile and ran over to him. "Dad, my dear dad! Did you come here to see me?"
