True Love Waits novel Chapter 1380

'If you all want to believe in Erica's nonsense, don't come to me when you realize you've been fooled. I'm not going to punish my wife for these stupid women!' Matthew thought to himself.

The group of women celebrated excitedly for some time. Only when their state of awe began to fade, they came to notice the man standing behind them.

Having got what they wanted, the women surrounding Erica dispersed and freed the way for Matthew.

Erica looked at the man walking towards her and grabbed a cherry, waving it in front of him. "Come on, eat it!"

Matthew shook his head and stated, "We're leaving."

"Oh, okay!" She was actually glad to go home. Regardless of where she was, Erica stretched her body.

Then she turned to Chantel and asked, "What about you? Come to our place with us."

Chantel showed her the phone in her hand. A notification from a recent missed call from her assistant displayed on the screen. "No, thanks. My assistant is waiting for me at the hotel. I'm going abroad tomorrow morning. You can go home first!"

"Okay, we are leaving now." Erica intertwined her fingers with her husband's.

His big palm was still as warm as she remembered. It felt so good to get back together with him.

"Okay, bye!" Chantel watched the couple go before she answered the phone, which was already ringing in her hand again.

"Hello, it's me."

"Chantel, there are several bodyguards at the hotel now. They said Mr. Li sent them. Do you know what happened?"

"What? Mr. Li?" 'Did Gifford send them?' she wondered.

"Yes. How is everything with you there? Can you come back now?" asked the assistant.

Chantel glanced at the lively cabin full of people before she answered, "Well, I'll talk to Mr. Li first. If I can leave earlier, I'll go back to the hotel immediately."

"Okay."

Outside, Matthew and Erica had barely left the cabin when she began to stir uncomfortably beside him. Holding his arm, she stood still and didn't let go of him.

"My feet hurt!" she said in a soft voice. The man glanced at her but didn't move.

Ignoring his silence, Erica tightened her grip on his arm and added, "You should carry me to the car. It's the first time in years that I had to wear high heels for so many hours. I can't walk when my feet hurt so badly." No one could blame her for being in pain.

'Huh! We hadn't seen each other for over three years, but she got more and more sensitive, didn't she?'

The man pretended to be impatient. "No one ever dared to ask me to do such a thing." Despite his harsh words, he immediately scooped Erica in his arms.

She didn't hesitate to put her arms around his neck as she smiled sweetly at him. "Well, I asked you because you're my dear husband!" And she could ask him whatever she wanted.

Yet she would never realize how much the words "my dear husband" had filled his heart with joy.

After getting off the cruise ship, Matthew put her in the back seat of his car and sat beside her.

The first thing Erica did once she was inside the vehicle was to free her feet from the grasp of those painful high heels.

Next, she put her feet up on Matthew's slender legs and swayed them in search of some relief.

Matthew's eyes hovered over the pair of feet resting on him, and then he clenched his jaw. "Erica Li!" he warned.

"Hey, don't be so mean! My feet hurt. I rarely put on high heels, please be considerate!"

'Hmm... So, her spoiled brat behavior seems to have increased a lot over these past few years. And she still manages to manipulate me with it, ' he thought to himself.

A few moments later, Erica removed her feet, adjusted herself, and finally rested her head on his lap. Looking up at the scowl on Matthew's face, she asked, "Honey, are our sons at Dad and Mom's place? Let's go there. I really miss them."
