True Love Waits novel Chapter 1379

Matthew's words sent Lucia to the floor on her knees and she begged, "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry. I promise that it will never happen again! I know that it was my fault, but..."

The man didn't seem to care about the woman's pleading and he ruthlessly watched her get taken away. There were over a thousand people in the cruise ship, but not one person dared to speak for her.

Matthew whispered in Erica's ear, "The ship is heading back. We'll go straight home when it reaches the shore."

"Okay!" She nodded in response.

"I'll have someone bring you a fresh set of clothes first."

"Thanks, but that won't be necessary. I've cleaned up most of the stains with wet tissues. We'll be home soon, so don't bother!"

"Fine." Matthew didn't force her.

For the remainder of the party, there wasn't a single man or woman who dared to provoke Erica.

When Chantel was in the bathroom, Erica took the chance to call Gifford. "Gifford, I think that Chantel has offended someone she shouldn't have because of me. You have to keep her safe."

"Are you serious? What kind of trouble have you gotten Chantel into now? You've already made every member of the Li family suffer. Just make trouble for the Huo family if you have nothing better to do!"

Erica stuck out her tongue and goaded him deliberately, "I didn't mean to get her in trouble. Are you going to help her or not? If you don't, I'll find someone to protect her!"

"Who said I wasn't going to help her? I know how to take care of my wife. I don't need your help. You'd better worry about having to coax your husband."

Erica answered proudly, "My husband is not angry with me anymore. Just now, he punished a bad woman for hitting on him in front of everyone."

"Humph, you think too simply of your husband. Just because he is looking out for you doesn't mean he isn't angry with you. I bet he was just being nice in front of everyone. Wait till you get home, that's when you'll have to apologize to him." Any good man would look out for his wife in front of others, but it didn't mean that Matthew wasn't angry at Erica.

"It doesn't matter! At least, my husband has shown me enough respect in front of people. I don't mind apologizing to him later when we go home." After returning home, Erica was planning on doing whatever Matthew would ask of her without any complaint.

"What's on your mind? Matthew is not an ordinary man and he is very successful. Shouldn't you show him respect in public as well? How can you let him act humble around you in public? You're wrong there!" Gifford lectured his sister.

"No, no, no. Gifford, I disagree. Yes, he is a successful man, but all men and women are equal. Only when he gives me enough respect can I return him the same respect. Don't you think so?"

"Um... I guess you're right." Gifford seemed to have been brainwashed by his sister.

"Listen, you need to treat Chantel well in the future too. Don't always try to make her give you face. Forget your male chauvinism and just take good care of her. Only in this way will she love you more!"

Gifford came to his senses and said, "I don't need you to tell me what to do. She's my wife. I can take care of my own problems. Mind your own business."

"Okay, don't forget to keep your wife safe."

"If there is nothing else, I will hang up." Gifford hung up before Erica could even respond.

She was rendered speechless. Ever since she came back from Tow Village, Gifford had been indifferent to her. He must have been mat at her about something!

'Forget it. Just let him be angry. Chantel will cheer him up for me, ' she thought.

Erica picked up a cherry and put it into her mouth. A moment later, several women surrounded her and looked at her with smile. One of them plucked up the courage to speak and finally said, "Mrs. Huo, we want to ask you a question."
