Erica chuckled and said, "No, I don't. I promise you that I won't take photos every day. Just occasionally, okay? But don't deprive me of my hobby, please?"
She pouted, putting her hands together as she begged him.
Seeing the pitiful look on her face, Matthew knew he would feel guilty if he denied her request. "Okay, but on one condition. I'll check your clients out and pick them for you from now on." action
Clients like that effeminate young star from earlier, for example, weren't an option. Erica wouldn't benefit from getting in touch with people like him.
"What? But you are so busy..." She didn't want to bother him. "Besides, when I complained to Chantel, she told me that she didn't mean to pick out that man. It was her agent who arranged it. Next time someone wants to be photographed, she will personally check them out before sending them to me."

At that moment, Erica knew that she had succeeded in persuading him. She then asked, "How did you know I was there?"
Rolling his eyes at her, he thought to himself, 'She has the nerve to ask?' "You were not in the mall." He had put his work aside to go to the Shining International Plaza and look for her. But the moment he got there, he realized she had fooled him.
"Ha-ha, you are so smart, honey. Oh, don't be angry! If you had allowed me to work, I wouldn't have lied to you. So, it's your..."
"It's my fault?" Matthew blurted out what she wanted to say.
'Well...' Despite her beliefs, she didn't dare to blame him out loud. "No, no, no. It's my fault. From now on, I'll tell you in advance where I'm going as long as you don't mind my bothering you!"
Matthew touched her chin, raising it slightly so he could look her in the eye. "Do tell me in advance!" How could he mind it? She was Erica, his beloved wife!
"Okay, okay!" she agreed. Since Erica had vowed to love and cherish Matthew, she would listen to him.
Then Erica sat back and closed her eyes, failing to notice when the car headed to the suburb. About ten minutes later, she looked out of the window and didn't recognize the scenery. She asked curiously, "Where are we going?"
"The zoo!" His words were short and precise.
"What?" Erica was confused. "Why do you suddenl
e words: Mr. Matthew Huo has adopted and raised the three pandas called Lili, Riri and Kaka since they were born.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe date of the adoption was written just below.
Staring at the three names given to the pandas, Erica felt a little strange. However, her brain didn't register the meaning behind them at that moment. She asked Matthew casually, "Did you name them? Why Lili and Riri? These names are so strange."
'Kaka is fine. But don't Lili and Riri sound almost the same?' she thought.
Matthew looked at her but didn't answer her question. Instead, he pointed at one direction and suggested, "You go and ask them yourself if they like their names."
"What?" Erica shifted her gaze to where he was pointing and said, "Wow! It's a panda! A big panda! Matthew, look, they are coming!"
Although that wasn't the first time Erica saw a panda, she never thought she would get so close to one before.
She couldn't help shaking Matthew's arm, excited to see the panda in front of her.
One of the staff members ran over to the nearest panda and picked it up. With his cheeks flushed from the effort he made to carry the animal, he waved at Erica. "Mrs. Huo... Don't you want to hug it?" In his mind, he was afraid that Erica wouldn't be strong enough to hold the panda.
"Yes, yes!" Erica immediately let go of Matthew's arm and hurried to them. "Little cutie, I'm here!"
Meanwhile, another panda noticed them coming and slid down from the tall tree. Then, it slowly crawled its way to the humans' side, circling around them.
