Chapter 1316 Sleep On The Sofa

Erica held Matthew's arm and rested her head on his shoulder. "It's alright, Miss Su. Don't be shy and

accept our kindness. It's settled." When she finished talking, Erica turned to Matthew and said, "Come

on, honey. Let's go home."

With Matthew still holding her waist, they stood up and walked out of the hospital.

Fanya and Camille were left alone in the ward. When she lost sight of the couple, Fanya immediately

grabbed a teacup and smashed it on the floor.

She had never seen such an arrogant person until she met Erica. What infuriated her the most was that

Matthew was still defending Erica despite her arrogance.

With her eyes closed, Camille stayed still in the bed as though she didn't hear the sound of the teacup

breaking. Her mind was filled with thoughts of how much Matthew was spoiling Erica.

'I did hear that he loves Erica so much. I guess it's true, ' she thought.

The room fell into silence. For a while, they both didn't say anything as if they were lost in thought.

When the couple came out of the hospital, Erica shook off Matthew's arm around her waist.

She rushed to the car and got in. Matthew mindlessly followed her into the car but Erica pushed him

out and ruthlessly closed the door.

He fell silent. Seeing this, Erica rolled down the window and said, "You go your own way and I'll go

mine. Goodbye, Mr. Huo." She then looked away and demanded the driver, "Let's go!"

The driver started the car and left his sight.

He watched the car drive away without him. Matthew couldn't believe his eyes. For the first time in his

life, he was abandoned this way.

That afternoon, Erica went straight to the Huo family's manor after class.

When Matthew got back to the villa, he found that no one was home. He reached for his phone and

called Erica. She answered the call, but she didn't tell him where she was.

He then called her bodyguard and found out that she was at the manor. Matthew didn't even bother to

go upstairs. He hurriedly turned around and went to the manor.

When he got there, a maid was waiting for him at the door as though she was expecting that he would

come over. "Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo is asleep. She has asked me to prepare another room for you next door

and asked you not to disturb her when you go upstairs."

'Seriously?

We were just talking on the phone ten minutes ago. How could she fall asleep so soon?'

He turned to the maid and nodded. "I see."

Matthew asked the maid to not follow him and went upstairs by himself.

Erica had taken over his room. Matthew tried to open the door but it was locked from the inside, and

the spare key was not in its usual hiding place. It was obvious to him that his wife had taken the key

with her to keep him from finding it.

Knock, knock, knock. He gently knocked on the door and waited for a while, but he heard nothing.

He knocked two more times but to no avail. While he stood there frustrated, Carlos had heard the noise

and came out of his room.

Leaning against the door in his pajamas, Carlos crossed his arms over his chest and looked at his son.

"Oh, the man who made his wife angry is back!"

Matthew glanced at his father coldly. 'What a childish man!' he snorted inwardly.

Out of frustration, he took out his phone and dialed Erica's number. Her phone rang once and went

straight to voicemail. It was off.

Carlos smiled so smugly that his eyes narrowed into slits. "It makes me so happy to see you being

treated like this."

Matthew shot him a look of disgust and said, "Just get inside and go to sleep with your wife!"

When Debbie stepped outside their bedroom to check what was happening, Carlos stretched out his

arms and embraced his wife. He kept on teasing his son, who was locked out of the room by his wife.

"Here I am holding my wife, and you can't even touch the hem of your own wife's clothes, let alone hold

her!" He laughed until he was out of breath.

Matthew was so exasperated that he wanted to gag his dad's mouth with a duster cloth.

Debbie sighed heavily and pulled Carlos' arms away and pushed him into their bedroom. "Go now. Go

to sleep!"

Carlos sounded so stubborn. "No, not yet. I want to see how your son is shut out of his own bedroom."

With his hands in his pockets, Matthew talked to his mother as if he was spelling out every word.

"Mom, if you want a new husband, just tell me. I can easily get you a different one every day."

Carlos' face darkened. He crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Matthew Huo, are you looking for

trouble?"

Debbie once again let out a heavy sigh. She didn't know what to do with this father-and-son squabble.

"All right, all right. Carlos, go to bed. Now."

Carlos had already lain in his bed. When he had heard Matthew knocking at the door to his own

bedroom, he had hurriedly gotten up and watched his son by the door to laugh at him.

'Carlos Huo! The older he gets, the more childish he becomes!' Debbie almost hissed.

She pushed him back into their room. She then walked up to Matthew and asked, "Why do you always

make Rika mad? Women are easily irritated during pregnancy. You have to be patient. Understand and

coax her more."

Without saying anything else, Matthew nodded. "I see."

Finally, Erica unlocked the door for Matthew. She had heard Debbie talking to Matthew by the door.

She didn't want to embarrass her mother-in-law.

As soon as they heard a noise come from inside the bedroom, Debbie nudged her son and mouthed

him a few words. "Remember to coax her!" She then turned around and entered her own bedroom.

The moment Erica opened the door, Debbie had left. Without even looking at Matthew, she went back

to bed.

Matthew closed the door behind him and sat down on the edge of the bed. He bent down and gave her

a kiss on her forehead.

Erica immediately wiped it off with the back of her hand where he had kissed her, turned her back to

him, and continued to sleep.

Her silence left him at a loss. He had been staring at her back for a while, and gave up on the idea of This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

making love with his wife. He came up with a new strategy and decided to use money to win her over.

"I have a card here with me. There are around three hundred million dollars in this account. Come on,

get up, and take it!"

Matthew took out the bank card and fanned himself with it to entice her. He also beamed to look

excited. However, Erica didn't even move as though she didn't hear him.

His wide smile slowly disappeared. 'Isn't money what she loves most? It used to work every time I tried

to make her happy with it. How could it fail this time?'

He sighed silently and lay down. He turned to her and slightly got up, holding his wife in his arm from

behind. His thin lips lightly pressed against her ear and whispered, "Rika, don't be mad, okay?"

She felt her ear itch. Erica covered her ear to prevent him from blowing on it again.

Matthew had been coaxing her all the while, but she didn't want to forgive him at all. Later, he made up

his mind and said, "Well, in that case, I'll do it!"

As soon as he declared it, he lifted her pajamas with his big hand.

Erica was caught off guard. She sat up from the bed and kicked him hard. "Go to sleep in the next

room!"

"No. I won't go anywhere! If you're staying right here, I'll stay here." Matthew couldn't sleep well without

her in his arms.

She glared at the shameless man and said, "Matthew Huo, I don't want to see your face right now.

Either you go, or I'll leave."

"No. No one is leaving!" Even though she didn't want to see him, he wanted to see her.

"Well then, go sleep on the sofa or on the floor, I don't care. I just don't want to sleep in the same bed

with you!"

"I'll sleep on the sofa." Right when she finished her sentence, he made a choice without the slightest

hesitation.

Hearing this, Erica lay back on the bed and tucked herself in. "Good night!"

Matthew kissed her long hair and said, "Honey, I'm just going to take a shower. You can sleep now."

She didn't say a word. She didn't care where he was going, as long as he didn't bother her.

Half an hour later, Matthew came out of the bathroom. Erica hurriedly turned her phone off and

pretended to be sleeping.

However, despite her hurry, he still saw the light from her phone just now.

He chuckled and pretended he didn't see anything as he sat on the sofa.

A few moments later, Erica fell asleep. She couldn't remember when she had fallen asleep.

Nevertheless, she vaguely felt that someone was holding her. When she smelled the familiar scent, she

immediately leaned in closer.
