BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1134 A Trap
"Okay."
As soon as she hung up the phone, Erica instantly regretted making that promise so soon. In truth, she was afraid Matthew might turn down her request.
Unfortunately, she had already promised Evelyn to go back to the manor to have lunch. So, she was left with no other choice but to give Matthew a call.
This time, the phone kept ringing for a long time before he picked it up. "Hello?"
"Well, I was just on the phone with Evelyn, and she asked me to come with you to the manor for lunch this noon," she said.
"I already have an appointment for lunch."
"Is that so? All right then! Sorry for bothering you. Go back to whatever you were doing. I\'ll just tell Evelyn about it."
"Tell her what?"
Hearing this, Erica was a bit confused. "Of course I\'m going to tell her that you\'ve already made plans so you can\'t come with me."
"Then you\'re planning to go back to the manor by yourself?"
"Yes!" \'Is there anything wrong with that? Why was he asking these questions?\' she wondered.
There was only static on the other side of the line. "Pick me up in half an hour," Matthew said.
"You want me to pick you up?
But... Didn\'t you just say that you have an appointment?"
"I can\'t come to the appointment knowing that you\'re going back to the manor by yourself," he helplessly said.
"But why?" she asked, clearly still at such a loss.
There was a hint of disdain in his tone as he replied, "You attending the family gathering without me? There\'s no way Carlos is going to allow such a thing to happen! Do you get it now? Stupid!"
\'Oh, so he\'s afraid of his dad as well!\' she thought, laughing deep inside. Hearing this, she flew off the handle and said, "It\'s your fault! You didn\'t make it clear to me in the first place. Why are you calling me stupid? For as long as you explain it a little more, I\'ll be able to understand."
"My fault?"
"Of course. Are you seriously blaming me? You\'re a man. Aren\'t you the least bit ashamed of being so petty?"
"In half an hour, I need to see you in my office! If you are even one second late, I won\'t arrange a dorm for you to have noon breaks in the college anymore."
His threat instantly made Erica so infuriated. "You\'ve gone too far, Matthew Huo!" Was she being to
"
"I\'ve already changed my mind. I don\'t want any reward nor do I want to beat you. All I want is to get out of here."
"Don\'t worry, I will let you leave." Freeing one hand to hold the back of her head, he pulled her closer and asked with a straight face, "Are you sure you don\'t want to hit me anymore?"
"Well, before I answer that, can you, at least, let go of me first?" He was obviously flirting with her. At that point, she was afraid that she might not be able to control herself and end up hugging him and kissing him.
"In that case..." Grabbing her delicate chin, he raised it slightly and said, "Then, I\'m going to give you your reward first."
Seeing that he was about to kiss her again, she quickly tried to warn him, "If you kiss me again, I\'ll... Mmmph..." The rest of the words she was trying to say vanished completely between their lips.
How dare he do such a thing?! No other person had ever annoyed her as much as he did! For that reason, Erica vowed to teach this playboy a lesson!
A few minutes later, when Erica was already running out of breath, Matthew decided to let go of her, albeit reluctantly.
As she gasped for air, she cast him an intense glare and said, "Matthew Huo, you jerk...Mmmph..." Damn! He leaned in and kissed her one more time!
This time, the kiss they shared lasted for at least minutes before he finally let go of her again. Before she could complain, Matthew beat her to the punch and said, "If you say another word, I will kiss you once. If you say two more words, I will kiss you four times! Four words, and it\'s going to be eight kisses. Don\'t you dare think I won\'t do that! You\'re my rightful wife. I would even go far as to sleep with you right now!"
