Take My Breath Away

Aaron put on a bright smile and confirmed, "Yes, Erica was just joking with me. Even though she is two years my senior, she is still very cute and adorable."

'Erica? From total strangers to first name basis in just a few minutes? Just what is going on?' Matthew sulked inwardly.

He deliberately slid his long arm on the back of Erica's chair. From the front, it looked like he was holding her, but his hand was merely resting on the chair. Then, with a soft look at Erica, he replied, "You're right. She is quite cute and adorable. That's one of the reasons she's my wife."

'What?' Erica was confused at this sudden declaration. She turned her eyes towards Matthew, who was now sitting very close to her. 'Is he deliberately showing off?' she wondered.

Aaron also realized that the CEO was declaring his marriage with Erica in an imperious manner. It was clear that the man had felt angry about them getting so close so soon. He immediately echoed, "Mr. and Mrs. Huo, you are such a perfect match for each other. I can see you love each other so much. I'm so envious of your relation."

'Love each other very much?' It made Erica feel guilty and embarrassed. "Well...thank you. Aaron, you..."

Right at that moment, there was a knock on the door. Ms. Wang walked in and, after greeting Matthew politely, reminded Aaron that it was time for him to leave.

Erica was disappointed that her idol was leaving so soon. She asked with a blush, "Aaron, can I hug you?"

Aaron looked at the expressionless man sitting next to her from the corner of his eye. "Sure," he nodded hesitatingly.

Erica stood up happily and was about to run towards him who had stretched out one of his arms.

However, a powerful hand grabbed her waist and she was soon pulled out of the meeting room before she could understand just what the hell was going on.

When Erica finally came back to her senses, they had already entered the elevator.

Matthew didn't let go of her until they had reached his office.

In there, she was thrown on the sofa rudely. Her head hit the armrest. Luckily, the sofa was very soft, so it didn't hurt much.

But she was still infuriated by his inhumane behavior and darkened face. "What's wrong with you? Why did you push me?"

To her surprise, Matthew didn't apologize. Instead, he responded in a hars

roached.

"Dad, mom! I'm back! Hey Ethan!" Erica greeted them with a smile.

With the little boy in her arms, Blair stared at the man standing beside her daughter. Not because the man was so handsome that she couldn't take her eyes off him, but because... he was obviously a foreigner!

After a long time, Blair came back to her senses and asked, "Who is...?"

Hearing that, Erica lowered her head and pretended to be shy. "Dad, Mom, I have decided to divorce Matthew Huo. This is your new son-in-law. His name is...Wait, Dad, why are you holding a feather duster? Let's talk!"

The events that had transpired the previous day made Erica feel furious. The more she thought about what had happened, the angrier she felt. When Matthew had come back to the villa in the evening, they hadn't talked to each other. Therefore, she had decided to go back to her parents' house early in the morning.

And to show her determination of leaving Matthew, she had even hired a foreigner to pretend to be her new boyfriend.

At first instinct, Wesley had looked around to find a feather duster. Now, he was raising the duster and running towards the girl.

Erica ran immediately. "Dad! Can you hear me? Matthew doesn't love me and even got mad at me... It's true, Dad! Ouch! Dad, you hit me. It hurts..." The girl made a crying face as she rubbed the spot where the feather duster had landed.

Shocked, the foreigner stood still. All he could do was look in shock at Wesley chasing Erica.

Ethan thought the duo were playing and burst into laughter.
