True Love Waits

Chapter 1384 Take After Niles

According to the article, someone had asked ZL Group about Erica's whereabouts a long time ago. But

ZL Group had merely stated that she had gone abroad to wait to give birth to her children.

Now everyone could finally see Erica and her four sons on the Internet.

In fact, countless people were praising Erica online with comments as such that as the mother of four

children, she looked as young as a teenage girl.

Reading it, Erica began to think that someone must have spent a lot of money on those people to flatter

her online.

The news about Noreen regarded the conflict between the two of them on the cruise ship. It said, "The

real Mrs. Huo teaches the most popular female celebrity a lesson in public, and the latter ends up

locked up with bees." The so-called most popular female celebrity was yet to comment on this matter.

The next news about Lucia was similar to Noreen's, but Erica didn't find the photo of Lucia being tied to

the cruise ship. Now she wasn't sure if it had been deleted or if anyone had even taken the picture at

all.

In the comment section, everyone was on Erica's side. For all it seemed, Noreen's and Lucia's

reputations had been ruined overnight.

"Is it so funny?" Matthew's low voice came from behind her. Erica nodded, still not daring to laugh out

loud. "Yes, I never knew I could look so beautiful!" Although she was a photographer, she had never

taken a selfie of her own.

"A bit narcissistic of you, isn't it?" There was a hint of helplessness in the man's voice.

By hearing that, Erica finally came to her senses and turned over to face her husband. "Ah, you're

awake?"

"Yeah." He had been up for a while now. In fact, he woke up much earlier than when Chantel called.

Besides, he had already checked that day's trending news.

"Hey, look at this photo. Isn't your wife beautiful in it?" Erica handed him her phone.

Matthew looked back and forth between the picture and her face before he answered seriously, "You're

way more beautiful in person than in this photo."

"What? Why? I thought this dress suited me so well." The woman was confused. She had just woken

up and hadn't washed her face or combed her hair yet. How could Matthew think she looked any

beautiful right now?

Yet his next words caught her by surprise.

"I think you're the most beautiful when you're naked!" Blushing, Erica turned away from him and

scolded, "Matthew Huo, you're such a jerk!"

The smile on Matthew's lips quickly reached his eyes with her reaction.

"Well, you'd better ask your men to delete the news. I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" he asked.

"I'm afraid my father will call to scold me and..."

Erica didn't even have the chance to finish her sentence when her phone started to ring with Wesley's

call.

Under Matthew's gloating eyes, Erica pouted as she answered the phone, "Dad, what's up?"

The moment Wesley heard her voice, he started to nag, "You're just a photographer. Why are you

picking fights with celebrities? It's all over the news now. The whole world knows that you, Erica Li, had

a quarrel with that woman...Nora Xia."

"Dad, it's Noreen Xia," Erica reminded him kindly.

"Oh, Noreen Xia... You don't have to correct me. I know her name!"

Wesley spat. 'You just called her Nora Xia!' Erica thought to herself.

Wesley continued, "I asked around about this Noreen Xia. She's been in the entertainment industry for

over ten years, and yet no one could ever shake her position. Do you know why? It's because she has

the support of powerful people behind her. Why did you have to provoke this woman?"

"She attempted to seduce Matthew in front of me!"

Erica hit the nail on the head, leaving Wesley speechless for a moment. But then he asked, "Don't you

believe in Matthew?"

"So you're saying that I should've pretended I hadn't seen anything even though she was all over my

husband in front of me and everyone else present?" she answered him with another question.

Erica managed to make Wesley run out of arguments. After a while, he said, "Of course not. But you

should've told me, I would've handled it." In that way, if Noreen ever decided to seek revenge, Erica

wouldn't be implicated in it.

"Dad, Matthew won't let her hurt me. Am I right, Matthew?"

Seeing that his wife was looking at him for help, Matthew took her phone and put it on his ear. "Dad,

don't worry about it. I'll handle it. I won't let anyone hurt Rika."

"Matthew, aren't you at the company yet?" As a matter of fact, Wesley had read the news early in the

morning but waited to call Erica and scold her at a time he was sure Matthew wouldn't be around.

However, Matthew hadn't gone to the company yet. Instead, he was still in bed with Erica, listening to

every word Wesley spoke to his daughter.

Upon this realization, Wesley felt distressed. Now that Erica had Matthew to support her, it was a waste

of time to try to scold her. Wesley needed to find some other moment when Matthew wasn't around to

teach Erica a lesson.

"Well, I'm not very busy today. I'll be there later," Matthew answered. With his wife back home after

being away for over three years, he wanted to spend more time with her.

"You'd better keep an eye on Rika. I'm afraid you'll spoil her," Wesley said seriously.

"Okay, I know it, Dad!"

Wesley pursed his lips. He did not doubt that Matthew would continue to satisfy Erica's every whim. He

might have promised him to keep an eye on Erica, but in fact, he wouldn't resist spoiling her as much

as he could.

Oh boy! No wonder some people believed that Erica had saved the universe in her past life and now

was granted to be reborn as Wesley's daughter only so she would later become Matthew's wife.

"Okay, I hear you. Deal with the news, and don't let it affect your company," Wesley advised Matthew.

He believed that there was no need for Erica to take up public resources to deal with the two women.

"Yes, Dad. Don't worry. I will handle it," Matthew answered patiently.

"Well, that's good. I have to hang up now. I'll leave you to go on with your day!"

Before they could hang up, Erica quickly leaned over to the phone and said, "Dad, goodbye, I'll miss

you!"

Wesley was rendered speechless Although he couldn't say everything he wanted while Matthew was

there, he couldn't help thinking, 'You miss me? I can't believe you had the nerve to say that. What

about all those years you've stayed away from home? Didn't miss me then? I really don't know whom

she takes after when it comes to her naughtiness.

Neither Blair nor I have a naughty bone in our bodies. Oh, maybe she takes it after Niles.

He is the naughtiest person in the Li family after all.'

At that moment, Niles, who was teaching his grandson a lesson in A Country, sneezed all of a sudden.

Rubbing his nose, he wondered who was thinking about him.

After they hung up the phone, Erica decided to get out of bed with Matthew since she had already

woken up anyway.

She had the day already planned in her head. First, she would go to the Huo family's manor to visit

Carlos and Debbie, and then she would wait for her sons to get back from school.

But as soon as she finished her breakfast, the few hours of sleep she had during the night were no

longer able to keep her up. As her eyelids started to get heavier, she went upstairs to catch up on her

sleep after Matthew left. As a result, she ended up waking up much past her lunchtime at three o'clock

in the afternoon.

When she looked at the time, she rose into a sitting position and sent a desperate message to

Matthew. "I'm done. I overslept. I just woke up. I promised to visit Mom and Dad. What should I do?"

"It doesn't matter. Come and pick me up. Let's go there together," he replied.

"Okay." To make up for her late visit, she decided to buy some gifts for her in-laws and the kids. But All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

first, she would pick Matthew up.

By the time Erica came to ZL Group, she happened to bump into a middle-aged man as he walked out

of Matthew's office. The man was about fifty years old. He was still at the door when he greeted Erica

as a perfect gentleman. "Mrs. Huo, nice to meet you. Are you here for Mr. Huo?"
