Take My Breath Away

'Sleep with me...' It was the first time they had talked about such a sensitive topic. Erica was angry but she didn't dare to say anything. Deep down, she knew Matthew was right. She had no reason to refuse him even if he wanted to sleep with her right there and then.

Part of her wanted to go home and cry to her father. She couldn't understand why Matthew was even harder to get along with than Wesley.

In the end, the pitiful look on her face made Matthew let go of her.

Leaning against the door, Erica gasped for breath.

She tried to calm herself down, but she was so angry that she unconsciously raised her fist to hit Matthew. However, just as she swung her fist toward him, Matthew dodged.

Erica missed, but because she had exerted too much strength, her body leaned forward. With a pale face, she screamed, "Help!"

Just as she was about to fall to the floor, a powerful arm wrapped around her waist. At last, she fell into Matthew's arms.

"Do you want intimacy that much, Mrs. Huo? Is that why you threw yourself at me?" he teased.

Threw herself at him? Well, he wasn't lying. Erica was indeed in his arms. She wanted to argue, but she couldn't. She felt as if her tongue had been tied into a knot.

She thought she must have been possessed by something. After all, she had always been sharp-tongued, but at this moment, she couldn't find a word to retort to Matthew.

It really pissed her off! She pushed him away, her cheeks bulging up in anger. When she saw the smug expression on his face, however, a thought struck her and her anger disappeared instantly. She said, "Matthew, how about this..."

Matthew raised his eyebrows, hinting for her to go on.

"Since you enjoy kissing me so much, you should forget the girl you like, only think of me, and treat Ethan as your own son. If you do that, I will never bring up divorce again, and you can kiss me whenever you want, okay?"

Eric said, even though she was sure that he wouldn't agree. In her opinion, very few men would be able to forget their first love. Even fewer men would be willing to raise another man's son, let alone a proud man like Matthew.

"Only think of you?" Matthew looked her up and down. "You're okay in general, and your figure is not bad. But I need a better style. Wait fo

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

t's get inside the elevator first."

Together, they stepped into the elevator, and Matthew let go of her wrist as soon as the door closed.

His expression became indifferent again as he stepped away and kept her at a distance. Adjusting his clothes, he said to the angry woman, "We have to pretend to be a sweet couple in front of others."

The way he spoke made Erica feel like the man who had just whispered into her ear a moment ago was someone else altogether.

So, he had been acting? "You... You... You are such a good actor!" she finally blurted out. She was so annoyed that she was even stuttering.

"Thanks for the compliment, Mrs. Huo," Matthew replied calmly.

'What? Thank you? Couldn't he tell that I was being sarcastic?'

Erica was desperate to put him in his place, but she didn't know what to do. 'What wrong did I commit in my previous life that I was given the punishment of marrying Matthew Huo?'

On their way to the manor, if the bodyguard hadn't sat in the front seat, Erica would have taken it. Instead, she had no choice but to sit with Matthew in the back.

Nevertheless, she clung to the window, sitting as far away from him as she could.

Matthew didn't mind; he just concentrated on his work on the phone as if he hadn't noticed what she was doing.

Just when they were about to arrive at the Huo family's manor, his phone rang.

Erica, who was bored, casually glanced at his phone. Before she could see the name on the caller ID, Matthew answered the phone. "What's up?"
