True Love Waits novel Chapter 1382

Erica's actions at the party had gone viral. It wasn't just the guests on the cruise ship who knew this. Everyone knew that Matthew and Erica loved each other very much. Those women who wanted Matthew for themselves were quiet, at least for now.

Late at night

Erica sat up from the bed, stretching, feeling her muscles protest. She quietly got out of bed, trying not to disturb the man lying next to her.

As soon as she opened the door and left the bedroom, the man she left behind opened his eyes.

He picked up his phone and looked at the time. It was half past three in the morning.

He rolled out of bed, put on his pajamas and followed the woman out.

Downstairs, Erica opened the walk-in freezer and walked in.

The fruit in the freezer was already washed. She stuffed a few cherry tomatoes into her mouth and continued to paw through the contents of the freezer.

A few minutes later, she came out with some veggies and frozen shrimp.

"Ahhh!" Erica practically jumped in fright when she walked out of the freezer. There was a man standing in the kitchen. She almost choked on the cherry tomato in her mouth.

Glancing at what she was holding, Matthew asked, "What are you doing?" Actually, he knew very well what she was up to.

The woman wore a thin nightgown, and when she shook her head, her hair swept aside briefly to reveal the love bites on her neck. Swallowing the cherry tomato in her mouth, she answered unhappily, "It's all your fault. You can't seem to keep your hands off me! I can't get dinner, so now I'm hungry!"

Matthew's mind was blown. Well, it was indeed his fault. He neglected that she didn't have dinner tonight. And yeah, it was his fault. They had made love past dinner time, and he forgot to get her anything to eat.

He took the vegetables and frozen shrimp from her hands and asked helplessly, "What do you want?"

"How about some noodles with veggies and shrimp?" she answered.

"That's it?" he asked in disbelief.

Erica popped another cherry tomato in her mouth and nodded, "Yes."

Thinking of the mess she had made of the noodles in Tow Village, he sighed helplessly.

The man tilted his head toward living room and said, "You go and watch TV. Maybe they'll replay one of those palace dramas you love so much."

The woman's eyes lit up. "So you'll cook it for me?"

She hadn't eaten the noodles cooked by him in a long time. She missed the way he cooked them so much!

"Of course." 'Let her cook the noodles? No way! She messed that up last time!'

Since Erica had come back to him, Matthew wanted to make sure she was well-taken care of. He wouldn't let her eat just anything. He would cook for her from now on. And if he was busy, there were professional chefs who could do the job. He would make sure she ate delicious, healthy food every day.

Erica was so moved that she felt her eyes go hot as tears formed in them. She happily hugged the man from behind and said in a soft and flattering voice, "Thank you, Matthew! You're so good to me!" A long lost sense of happiness came back to her.

With a smile at the corners of his mouth, Matthew said in an indifferent voice, "Just go watch TV."

"I can help you wash the vegetables," she offered.

Matthew pulled her hand away and walked towards the freezer. "No, just wait in the living room."

"Fine!"

Erica turned on the TV and flipped channels, bored. Finally, she stopped when she saw one station featuring the horror movie "Midnight Hair." She devoured the gruesome images on the screen with obvious interest.

It was a quiet night. Life seemed to go back to normal. It was like she had never left.

He cooked for her while she took in a horror movie.

Matthew was too busy in the kitchen to pay attention, but the woman in the living room was already crying.

Before she ran away, she hadn't known how good she had it.

She saw many things when she was gone the past three years. But one thing she never saw was a man willing to cook for his wife after a busy day.

The other men were either lazy or they just collapsed on the bed after a whole day's work.
