NovelEnglishMatthew looked Erica in the eye. "I realized that I was wrong. I was totally wrong. You never cared about me. Your heart belongs to someone else. Why should I come to the villa and stay under the same roof as you, humiliating myself?"
With every word he said, he paid close attention to the expressions on her face.
Since he thought that she didn't care about him, he had stayed away from her all this while to show her how it felt to be ignored.
It looked like it bugged her that he didn't come home even though he was in Y City.
Erica's eyes filled with shock and anxiety. "No..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe wanted to explain. She wanted to tell him that she didn't like any other man.
If there was someone she loved, it was Matthew. The man she loved the most was... Matthew Huo.
But Matthew stopped her. "It doesn't matter. Leave. We'll talk about it when I come home. I have something important to do now." He had to investigate the Su sisters to prove Erica's innocence.
But she misunderstood him. She thought that the more important thing to him at that moment was being with Phoebe.
Distress overwhelmed her. She opened her mouth, but said nothing. With a somber face, she left the hospital with Owen.
It was late. Erica tossed and turned in her bed, but couldn't fall asleep. One thought that haunted her was what had happened to Phoebe. And the other was that, once again, Matthew didn't come home.
'He must be in the hospital with Phoebe, ' she thought unhappily. 'They lost their child. It must feel horrible for them and they sympathize with each other.'
She thought more about this over dinner and finally made up her mind. It would be so much better if Matthew trusted her, but if he didn't, then... then she would give him a child!
At ZL Group
The bodyguard who, under Matthew's orders, was following Erica around in secret, reported, "Mr. Huo, when the accident happened, I was a little behind Mrs. Huo. I thought that you, Mrs. Huo and Miss Su are friends, so I didn't get too close to them. The situation escalated very quickly. Miss Su fell to the ground not long after their conversation started." action
The bodyguard had stayed away from the scene since Matthew had ordered him to follow Erica in sec
il you are ready to... to have sex with me."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm'Lost my child? What's she talking about?' Matthew was confused. 'Oh!' he remembered. He had not yet corrected her assumption that Phoebe was carrying his baby.
So, she still thought it was his.
He sighed. "The baby..." '...was not mine, ' he tried to say.
But Erica thought he believed that she was the reason for the loss of his child.
So, she declared before he could finish his sentence, "Although I didn't cause Phoebe's miscarriage, I will give you a child as compensation." 'What nonsense is she spouting now?' Matthew could not figure this woman out. "You didn't cause the miscarriage, but you are still willing to give me a child as compensation? Erica, don't you see the contradiction in your own words?"
"I already told you that I didn't push Phoebe. But you don't believe me. I can't find any evidence to prove my innocence. I watched the drive recorder of Watkins' car, but I couldn't find anything to my advantage." She was accused of something she didn't do, yet she had no way to prove it. "Since I can't prove that I was not the reason for the loss of your baby, I will give you one instead. But I am doing this for you! So, you cannot take this baby away from me and give it to Phoebe!" Erica added frantically. 'The baby will be mine and Matthew's. We'll raise it!' she thought.
Matthew didn't know how to respond. He had never before heard about anyone who would compensate another person with a child.
