True Love Waits

Chapter 1321 He Cheated On Me

"No, thanks. There's no need for that," Erica refused unhesitatingly.

Matthew stood up and walked up to her. He looked into her eyes through the mirror and said, "Don't be

so stubborn."

She stopped drying her hair and explained patiently, "A pregnant woman is only required to have a

checkup once a month. Besides, I'm just doing fine. I don't need to go to the hospital every half a

month."

It was only two weeks ago when she had her last checkup. That was the time when they found out that

she was pregnant with twins.

"But I'm worried," he insisted.

This time, she turned off the hairdryer, put it on the table, and turned to him before she asked, "Why are

you worried now? You didn't even worry that night when you did something to me."

He was rude to her at that time, but he didn't worry about hurting the babies inside her belly.

His eyes darkened in an instant when he sensed the sarcasm in her voice. He suddenly became

dispirited. "Just listen to me this time."

"No, I won't listen to you. But if you really insist, then I'll go to the hospital by myself. I don't want to

bother you, Mr. Huo." Actually, she was still mad at him for what he did to her two nights ago. She didn't

deserve that punishment he gave her.

Despite her firm objection, he still wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "They are my babies

too. It's my responsibility to accompany you during your prenatal checkups."

"I already told you, no need. If you are really worried, just let Paige go with me." She shook his hands

off, stood up, and was about to walk out.

But he didn't give her a chance to leave. He gently pressed her back to her seat, turned on the

hairdryer, and skillfully began to dry her hair.

She was rendered speechless. He seemed to be using both hard and soft tactics.

The night was so peaceful. Matthew stopped working and also stopped Erica from playing with her

phone. They went to bed earlier than usual and fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next morning, although Erica had agreed to have a checkup, she still didn't change her mind about

not letting Matthew accompany her. Left with no choice, he called Paige to go with her to the hospital.

In A Country, Gifford had just arrived at the military base.

As soon as he got out of his car, his phone rang again. It was Rhea, who had been calling her many

times these past few days. He wasn't able to answer all her calls because he was busy, so now he

decided to take it. "Rhea, I'm sorry. I just came back from a mission."

"It's alright, Gifford. I'm sorry to bother you, but it's just urgent. I have a favor to ask you. Are you busy

right now?" As much as possible, Rhea didn't want to bother Gifford. But she couldn't think of a more

suitable person to help her than him.

"No, I'm free now. Go ahead, tell me." If it weren't for the fact that she was Erica's good friend, he

wouldn't bother to answer her call.

He had only slept for a few hours in the past three days, so he wanted to have a good rest right away.

"Do you still remember my boyfriend? The one that you introduced to me," she reminded him.

"Yes." He nodded although she couldn't see him. He introduced several soldiers to her before, and she

had chosen the one who was a year younger than her.

"He cheated on me, Gifford. I want to confront him, but he doesn't want to see me now. Can you ask

him to talk to me? Only if you have time. If you are busy now, it's okay. I can wait." She had done

everything to see him, but she failed, so she was desperate now.

Gifford rubbed his temple. He was tired, but he also couldn't let his colleague continue to deceive

Rhea. "Don't worry, I'm free today, so I'll talk to him. After all, I'm the one who introduced him to you. I

should take responsibility as well."

"Thank you, Gifford. I am free anytime, so you just tell me when we can meet."

"Let's meet this afternoon. I'll find a cafe and take him there. By then, you can confront him face to

face." "Okay. Thank you so much, Gifford,"

she responded excitedly. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"You're welcome. See you then." After he hung up, he glanced at his men who were training not far

away, trying to think what could have gone wrong. When Erica had instigated him to introduce some

soldiers to Rhea, he made sure that he had chosen the outstanding ones. It was surprising for him to

know that an excellent soldier cheated on his girlfriend.

Indeed, someone's morality couldn't be judged by his performance at work. Even a man who did well in

his job could be a jerk in love.

Inside the Sky Coffee Shop, Chantel sat down cautiously opposite a gentleman.

When the man called the waiter, she didn't order anything but just a glass of water.

She couldn't drink tea or coffee now, because she was pregnant.

As soon as the waiter left, the man took out his business card, handed it to her, and introduced himself.

"Miss Ye, I'm the general manager of Global Entertainment. I'll get straight to the point. Mr. Huo told me

that you have a background in acting, so he wanted me to meet you."

"Mr. Huo?" Astonished, Chantel asked cautiously, "Do you mean, Matthew Huo?"

She couldn't believe her ears. Global Entertainment was a famous company, and many people were

dreaming of working there.

"Yes, that's right. I had a meeting in Y City last time, and I met him there. He recommended you to me.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but I hope you don't mind. I have been secretly observing in your school

recently." Although it was Matthew who recommended her to him, he still had to be responsible for the

company. That was why he decided to secretly observe her if she really had what it took to be their

talent.

And he was always accurate in judging people. Although Chantel looked very shy, she was brave and

focused when she played a role. She was quite skilled in acting.

Chantel reckoned that Erica was the one who helped her. Moved by what she did, she shook her head

and said, "No, I don't mind at all. But I am not feeling well recently, so maybe my performance is not

good enough." Since she was pregnant, she had some limitations, especially when it came to her

movements like dancing.

"Don't worry about it. I observe a person from all aspects. I can say that your skills are not that

excellent yet. But before entering our company, all talents will need to undergo a few months of closed

training. Each of them becomes outstanding when they finish the training. Now, I want to know if you

are willing to join our company so we can arrange everything about your training."

It was such a great opportunity, and it was Matthew who recommended her. The offer was so tempting.

When she was about to say yes, her hand subconsciously touched her belly. All of a sudden, she was

brought back to reality. With a sad face, she answered in a low voice, "I...I can't go for now."

The general manager smiled and said, "I know that you are not in good shape right now. But that's

alright. Just give me an estimated time of your availability so we can prepare your contract. You can

sign it by then." She was still young and beautiful. When the right time came, she could rise to fame in

the entertainment industry with the help of Global Entertainment.

Excitement surged in her heart upon hearing his words. She stammered, "O-okay... Then... please give

me..." She calculated the number of months in her mind first before she continued, "...seven months." It

was already enough for her to fully recover after giving birth.

The general manager was satisfied with her answer. "Okay, then. After seven months, come to Global

Entertainment and look for me. But during the seven months, you can call me anytime if something

happens."

"Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome," he replied with a smile.
