Take My Breath Away

"Let's talk about that later. Right now, answer me this! When are we going to become a real married couple?" Matthew was not satisfied with the girl's nonsense. If she continued to act like this, he would really just sleep with her right then and there!

"I heard from someone that you are a scheming Scorpio." That someone was Matthew's own sister, Terilynn.

As far as Erica knew, Scorpio men were usually cold and powerful, arrogant and indifferent; the description was exactly in line with Matthew's personality. He was a typical Scorpio!

"I don't know much about what these signs mean, but my birthday is on November 20th. So, I guess that makes me a Scorpio."

He also knew that Erica's birthday was on August 10th. She was a Leo, and was indeed an outgoing and energetic Leo girl.

Erica calculated with her fingers. His birthday was only a few days away, about half a month or so. She blinked and finally answered his most concerned question. "How about we wait until your birthday?"

Matthew was very satisfied with that date. With a deep smile in his eyes, he said, "Alright then. Stay out of trouble till that day comes!"

"I know!" Half a month should be enough for her to make some mental preparation. If she was still afraid of having sex with him, she could sneak back to A Country.

"I have no choice but to believe you for the time being," Matthew said with a smirk.

"Hey! You know what... I read a book about the 12 zodiac signs. It said that a Scorpio man and a Leo woman don't match well. What do we do?" Erica tilted her head and frowned.

The man's eyes darkened slightly and his tone became domineering. "What is that? I don't believe crap written in a book by some lunatic! I'm the master of my own fate. It's not up to a book of zodiac signs to decide whether we make a good match or not. I will decide that! If I say we make a good match, then we do."

Erica laughed. "Don't you believe in the theories of the 12 zodiac signs?"

"I don't."

If the zodiac book had said that they would make a good pair, he would have believed it.

But since it said the opposite, he had no reason to believe a word of it!

Erica chuckled and kissed him on the cheek gently. "So, you think we match?"

"I'm a hundred percent sure that we are a perfect match. I'm very lucky to have found you!" Matthew smiled.

'Wait a second. Why do I feel like I've heard that somewhere?' Erica tried to recollect.

Then, she remembered. "Did Mr. Chai tell you that?" she asked, raising her brow in question. At that time, in Champion Group, she had told Neville that Matthew had said that they were lucky to have found each other. It was a lie; Matthew had never said something like that.

Matthew said, "No. I just said what was on my mind."

or her to do something violent in campus.

It turned out that Tessie's lie did work at the beginning. Everyone in the Su family, and even Julianna believed her version of the story.

Erica sneered, "Wow. I didn't know that my reputation was so bad. Tessie, I took the blame for you. My reputation is ruined because of you. I lied to my parents; I told them that I gave birth to Ethan, so that they would treat your son as their own grandson. My mother slapped me when I told them this..." Erica choked. Her eyes brimmed with tears.

She had thought about telling the truth to her family because Wesley had always been a man of integrity. She was afraid that her father would be completely disappointed in her. But she also knew that he would never let her name be dragged through the dirt. But either way, she had imagined that her mother would be supportive. To her surprise, Blair had been the first one to slap her in the face.

It was because of that slap that she had stubbornly refused to explain the situation to her parents at that time. She had been misunderstood until this day.

The girls cried in the back seat. Erica didn't know if Tessie really regretted her actions. But whatever her case, her crying didn't arouse any sympathy from Erica.

"I had to go through so much trouble because of you. My father made me marry a man I didn't love. I am not even 22 yet!" She was still like a minor, living under the protection of her parents. But she had to get married so early because of the baby.

Fortunately, she got married to Matthew. He had always been nice to her and she felt very lucky.

She didn't regret it now. Her father had chosen the best man for her.

'A man I didn't love...' Matthew's grip tightened on the phone as he repeated her words in his mind. He had to adjust his mood to continue with his work.
