True Love Waits novel Chapter 1376

The man's breath felt fresh and clear against her skin. Erica didn't need to look back to know who the man holding her from behind was.

Before she could turn around to validate her guess, however, the people around them began to greet him. "Hello, Mr. Huo!"

"Hello, Mr. Huo, Miss Xia!"

At this moment, she understood that both Matthew and Noreen were behind her.

Erica smiled. Her husband had barely left her for three minutes and was already back so soon. Why was that? 'It seems he still cares for me, ' she thought, giggling.

She then greeted Chantel with a wink and turned around to look up at the man holding her. He didn't look much friendly.

"Honey, have you brought the checkbook?" Erica asked.

"Yes. Why?" Matthew looked away as he spoke lightly.

Erica stretched out her hand and demanded, "Write me a hundred dollar check."

'A hundred dollar check? What is she planning?'

Even though he had no idea what she was going to do with it, he still took out the checkbook with no hesitation and wrote the number before handing the check to Erica.

A second later, Erica waved the check in front of Noreen and said, "Thank you for accompanying my husband while I wasn't here. This your tip. I know this isn't much money, and I apologize beforehand. But as you all know, my husband and I have four sons to raise. Our family has got to save every little penny we can now. But please, take it!"

The tip of one hundred dollars was a straight insult to the famous actress, Noreen Xia.

However, the mention of Erica's four sons was what felt like the real slap in her face.

Noreen didn't make a move to take the check. But regardless of the actress's livid face, Erica folded the check in two before she stuck it into her dress.

It was impossible not to associate the scene with a rich man putting his money into a stripper's bra.

Immediately, everyone who had already wanted to laugh at Noreen wasn't able to hold back any longer. Noreen, on the other hand, was furious to get humiliated in front of all those people, but she had to refrain from lashing out at Erica no matter how mad she was.

Chantel shook her head helplessly. Erica was naughty, but she didn't mind giving her a hand. "Rika, isn't the jewelry set you are wearing now the same one purchased at 1.8 billion a few days ago? I bet Mr. Huo bought it for you. How generous of him!"

1.8 billion! This number not only shocked many of the people around, but also Erica herself.

'What? Paige didn't tell me that!' Erica thought. While Erica was in the studio, Paige had gone out for a while and later come back with the set of jewelry. At that time, she didn't think of asking Paige about it. But as it turned out, the set she had brought to her was worth 1.8 billion dollars.

And to think that some ignorant people were actually believing Erica's words and assuming that Matthew wasn't as wealthy as he used to be anymore. It was all nonsense.

Once again, Noreen felt like she was slapped in the face. Now by the 1.8 billion worth jewelry on Erica's neck, hands, and ears.

Soon, Erica came back to her senses and managed to suppress her shock. Looking at Matthew, she said sweetly, "Honey, you're always so good to me!"

A hint of tenderness revealed itself in Matthew's eyes. "You're my wife. If I don't treat you well, who should I?" Then he lifted her chin and whispered close to her face, "If you'd like it, I will give you much more than 1.8 billion."

He didn't mind playing along with her as long as she stayed away from other men.

Moved, Erica hugged him. "Honey, you're so kind!"

As if she didn't notice how embarrassed Noreen was, Chantel added, "How can Mr. Huo not have money? It's just a matter that some people aren't worth more than a hundred dollars!"
