Threw herself at him? Well, he wasn't lying. Erica was indeed in his arms. She wanted to argue, but she couldn't. She felt as if her tongue had been tied into a knot.
She thought she must have been possessed by something. After all, she had always been sharp-tongued, but at this moment, she couldn't find a word to retort to Matthew.
It really pissed her off! She pushed him away, her cheeks bulging up in anger. When she saw the smug expression on his face, however, a thought struck her and her anger disappeared instantly. She said, "Matthew, how about this..."
Matthew raised his eyebrows, hinting for her to go on.
"Since you enjoy kissing me so much, you should forget the girl you like, only think of me, and treat Ethan as your own son. If you do that, I will never bring up divorce again, and you can kiss me whenever you want, okay?"

"Thanks for the compliment, Mrs. Huo," Matthew replied calmly.
'What? Thank you? Couldn't he tell that I was being sarcastic?'
Erica was desperate to put him in his place, but she didn't know what to do. 'What wrong did I commit in my previous life that I was given the punishment of marrying Matthew Huo?'
On their way to the manor, if the bodyguard hadn't sat in the front seat, Erica would have taken it. Instead, she had no choice but to sit with Matthew in the back.
