Matthew liked the way that Erica had never hidden any of her desires. "The key is yours once the baby is born," he stated.
"Really?" Erica gaped at him, and surprise flashed in her eyes. "Aren't you worried about me? Aren't you afraid that I'll run off with all your money?"
"I'm afraid," he answered without hesitation. "But I'll always have a record of wherever you withdraw money from any of your cards. I can find you with a flick of my wrist." And with the letter of commitment she had signed, she'd be stuck with him for the rest of her life.
'Well, he's right. No wonder why he trusts me so much, '
she thought.
Patting his chest, she promised, "Don't worry. You know that I'm not that kind of person. Now that I know you trust me, I'll be sure to be accountable for every cent in your account." Erica enjoyed having so much money under her palm.
Resisting the urge to laugh, Matthew placed his large hand onto her belly. "You should be more careful in the future, okay?"
"Don't worry. I'll take good care of our baby from now on." Erica would be extremely careful in the future. After all, she was going to be a mother. It wouldn't be wise to do something so rash.
The atmosphere in the ward was peaceful and happy that both of them wanted to make it last forever.
After the infusion, Erica could be discharged from the hospital once her condition stabilized.
From the hospital to the second floor of the Li family house, Matthew made sure to hold his wife in his arms the entire time. He wouldn't let her go no matter what, and he agreed to all her requests.
Seeing her daughter being spoiled, Blair was quick to remind her son-in-law, "If you keep doting on her like this, she'll be difficult to control in the future." She knew her daughter enough to assume such a thing.
However, Matthew shook his head and answered, "It doesn't matter, Mom. All I want is for Rika to grow even stronger. That way, she wouldn't be bullied by others."
'No one would dare bully her even before you started to spoil her like this, ' the older woman thought. Shaking her head helplessly, she followed them.
Erica must've saved the world in her past life given how amazing her life was now. Before she even met Matthew, her father, brother, and sister made sure to spoil the living life out of her.
Now that she was married, that luck nev
the Internet. Now, he could work anywhere in the world as long as he had his gadgets close by.
That night, Carlos and Debbie stayed in the Li family's house.
In the evening, Matthew went to the study to continue reading all the documents he had brought with him. Blair was in charge of changing the bed sheets. Erica, in the meantime, was lounging on the sofa and playing with her phone. "Look at Carlos and Debbie," Blair admonished. "They're so good to you. You shouldn't give them any trouble after you get back."
The Huo family treated Erica as if she were their own daughter. Blair was more than relieved of this. A part of her had been worried that Erica would be careless and irresponsible when it came to taking care of her husband.
"I know, Mom," Erica replied.
"Matthew is always busy with his work, so you better be more considerate. Since you don't know how to cook, the least you can do is massage his shoulders. If you don't have anything to do, then you could prepare a bath for him or even iron his clothes..."
"Okay." That was simple enough.
"When it's time for dinner, you can ask him if he has a dinner he needs to attend to. If he does, let him go. If he doesn't, then ask him what he wants to eat. Then, you can ask the cook to make it."
"Okay." That was not a problem either.
"You shouldn't bully Matthew. Look at how considerate he is to you! He apologizes to you every time you two have a fight. Let me tell you, if you keep being stubborn, he'll hate you sooner or later. Maybe then he'll find another woman to be his wife."
