True Love Waits novel Chapter 1388

Matthew quietly glanced at the woman whose face was gradually turning red.

"Matthew, you see? Rika is so kind to you. Remember to treat her well in the future, understood?" Carlos was a firm believer that it was mostly the man's fault when something went wrong in the marriage.

Matthew rarely did not oppose his father. But this time, he simply nodded in agreement and said, "I understand."

In shock, Erica looked back at the man beside her and said in a low voice, "But it's all my fault."

Pouring her some tea, he answered lightly, "It takes two to quarrel. It was my fault too."

Erica didn't know how to react to his behavior.

However, that was not the time or place to voice out her concerns. So, for the time being, she suppressed her anxiety and forced herself to continue to eat.

Two hours later, the dinner was over. As the kids had school in the morning, Erica and Matthew decided to bid everyone farewell.

The elders wanted the four kids to stay in the manor, but that wasn't the children's wish. They missed their mother and wanted to spend some time with her.

Therefore, the kids followed Erica and Matthew back to the Pearl Villa District.

The moment they arrived, Matthew went straight to his study to get some work done. After a while, he headed back to the bedroom and heard some noises coming from the bathroom. When he walked in there, he found the four children and their mother.

The scene in front of him rendered him speechless.

While Adkins was getting a basin of water to wash Erica's feet, Boswell stood on a chair to get her a towel. At the same time, Colman was on his feet behind her, massaging her shoulders and back, as Damian held a glass of juice to Erica's lips. There was no doubt how much she was enjoying their services.

When Adkins noticed his father coming in, he requested casually, "Dad, help me carry the basin to Mom. I've filled it with too much water." The basin was so heavy that the kid could barely hold it.

Matthew twitched his lips.

'Is this my place in this family? Of a servant?'

Before he could say anything, Erica handed the juice she was drinking back to Damian and stood up. Then she pulled Matthew over and let him sit down on the chair. "My dear children, listen! Dad is the greatest and works the hardest in this family, so from now on, we should treat him well. C, you massage Dad. D, you let Dad drink the juice! A, I'll help you carry the basin of water."

"Got it, Mom!" they answered in unison. Immediately, the children began to move to follow their mother's instructions.

Matthew didn't know what to say. He wondered if that was really happening.

When Matthew saw Erica coming with the basin of water in her hands, he came back to his senses and abruptly rose from the chair.

Under the woman's confused gaze, he told his four sons, "Mom is wrong on something. Mom is the only girl in this family, and it's the responsibility of men to protect and take care of the women in their lives. You were doing everything right before I came. Keep it up like this. From now on, I'll help you take good care of your mother as well!"

"Okay, Dad!" the kids answered in unison again, as if they had a connection.

The next moment, a dumbfounded Erica and the four kids watched Matthew take off his coat. Colman thoughtfully stepped forward to get the piece of clothing from his father before throwing it into the basket.

Matthew then rolled up his sleeves and squatted down to begin to wash Erica's feet.

After he was done, he stretched out his hand and commanded, "Towel!"

"Here it is, Dad!" Boswell promptly handed him the towel.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome, Dad!"

Matthew wiped her feet and then carried her back to the bedroom, not bothering to put on her shoes for her.

The four kids were left to clean up the mess. Boswell and Colman carried the basin together and poured the water into the sink. Damian took the slippers Erica had worn before to her bedside. And Adkins, who was obsessed with cleanliness, threw the towel into another basket.

Erica couldn't be any happier receiving that kind of treatment. In fact, she felt like a queen.

As soon as the four kids finished their chores, they threw themselves on their parents' bed and played with Erica.
