Matthew was just downstairs patiently waiting for the kids to come down for breakfast. As soon as the sound of their collective footsteps was heard, several maids immediately ran into the dining room with breakfast.
Adkins was the first to greet him. "Good morning, Dad!"
Boswell climbed onto the chair opposite to Matthew and sat down. "Good morning, Dad!"
Colman moved his chair next to his dad and said with a smile, "Daddy, I want to sit with you!" He wanted to sit next to his father because he was quite fond of him.
Every time Matthew looked at Colman, he could see Erica on him. His facial expression softened and he gently said, "Sure."
Carrying an Ultraman toy in his hand, Damian walked to the other side of his dad and mumbled in a low voice. "Dad, I want to sit with you too."
"Sure." Matthew smiled.
Damian seemed quite satisfied to be greeted with a smile and he smiled back sweetly as he sat down next to Matthew.
Shortly after, they began eating breakfast merrily. When the boys came back, the four of them would laugh and talk loudly during meals. Matthew only had to tell them once that it was rude to talk too much during meals and now they seldom made noise.
After a while, Adkins wiped his mouth with a napkin and looked at Matthew, who had already finished breakfast and was waiting for them. "Dad, will you drive us to school today?"
On most days, just as long as he was not too busy in the morning, Matthew would drive them to school before going to the company.
If he was too busy or he had to go out of town on a business trip, Carlos and Debbie would take them to school and pick them up after as well. At the very least, Sheffield, Joshua or any other family members would do the job. In any case, Matthew wouldn't trust anyone else with the responsibility of his sons.
"Yes. I'll pick you up after school too."
In fact, Matthew had no real plans of going to the company today, so he decided it would be the perfect day to drop them off at school and pick them up later in the afternoon.
While chewing the last mouthful of bread, Colman asked, "Dad, can you come to pick us up with Mom?" They had been going to school for a while now, but they had never been picked up by their parents at the same time.
Glancing at him, Matthew reprimanded the boy, "Didn't I tell you not to speak with your mouth full?"
Howe
ly bright smile dancing about on her face.
However, Matthew looked at the side of the dress and frowned. The slit on the side went above her knees, and her fair thigh was partly visible with her every move.
The off-shoulder sweater made her skin looked fairer. If it weren't for the slit in the lower part of the dress, he might have been more accepting of this dress.
The man simply turned her down without hesitation. "Go and change into something else."
"Okay!" Completely disregarding the man's frown, Erica told the saleslady as she walked, "Please set this one aside. I'm taking this one."
"Yes, Mrs. Huo."
Matthew refuted, "No need to pack it. Just try something else."
Erica stopped and looked back at the man in confusion. "What's wrong?" She twirled, slowly bringing her slender arms on her slim waist while her sheer dress flowed in the breeze, twisting around her body. "Honey, don't you like it?"
His deep eyes fell on her collarbones first, and then on her slim waist...
Erica immediately noticed the familiar look of desire in his eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, and her face turned red. She muttered to herself, 'Damn it. This bad man thinks about sex all day long.'
He stood up from the sofa, put his hands in his pockets and walked to her side. With a serious expression, he said, "You can buy it if you want. But, don't wear it outside!"
"What? Why?"
"It's not a suitable look for you." She looked young, just like a teenager who was under age. When she wore those mature clothes, it was as if a child had stolen an adult's clothes.
