Take My Breath Away

Fanya just ignored Phoebe, picked up her bag, and walked out of the Su family residence.

Left alone in the living room, Phoebe slumped against the cushions. At this moment, she knew how desperate Tessie felt when she found out that she would be thrown into the slum. She had offended Matthew, and the Su family didn't want to help her appease him.

So now, to avoid losing ten million dollars and being thrown into the slum, she must listen to Camille and follow her advice.

The next morning, Erica got up very early because she had an event to attend.

At the breakfast table, she just stared at the food in front of her blankly. She had no appetite at all.

Looking at the food reminded her of what Matthew did to her last night.

She felt like whatever she ate right now was similar to that thing in her mouth the other night.

She stole a glance at the man opposite her, who was eating breakfast heartily.

'Humph! Such a jerk!'

Feeling a dull pain, she subconsciously rubbed her face.

"Why are you not eating?" Matthew's voice startled her, and she quickly put down her hand.

Her face flushed inexplicably upon meeting his eyes. "I...I'm not hungry," she stuttered.

"Don't you like the food?" he asked. He wondered why, because the other day, she ate the same breakfast with a big appetite.

"No, the food is fine." She felt embarrassed. Matthew acted as if nothing had happened while she kept on thinking about last night. To shake those thoughts off her mind, she picked up a bun with the chopsticks and put it into her mouth.

Matthew felt amused upon looking at her puffed cheeks.

Most women would never fill their mouths with a whole bun as it would ruin their poise. But Erica just stuffed the bun into her mouth naturally.

She was indeed different, which made her more adorable.

Since she was really hungry in actuality, she enjoyed all the food on the table as soon as she managed to put aside the memory of last night. She even ate more than she expected.

Two days later, Erica called Kelvin about the lawsuit. "Mr. Fei, how's the case going? Is it still held off?"

"Yes. I just asked them today. The hearing has been postponed." Their first hearing was supposed to be next Monday, but since the case was held off, it was moved to a different da

of the car, she looked at him defiantly. It seemed that she wasn't afraid of him anymore as she asked in a complacent tone, "Honey, have you already changed your mind?"

With a faint smile, he answered, "We have not determined the winner yet." He was not looking down on Carlos, but he didn't see him as a serious threat either.

After all, his father was already old and no longer capable of dealing with him. He believed that he wouldn't be able to help Erica.

"I don't know who will be the winner either, but I know that you will die in my hands!" Erica stretched out her slender arm in the air complacently as if grabbing Matthew's neck and strangling it gradually.

The smile on his face froze. He felt a sudden compulsion to kill her, because she already knew too much about him.

But of course, he could never have the heart to do it.

All he could do was spoil her.

As soon as they entered the manor, they saw Carlos and Debbie watching TV in the living room. Obviously, they were already waiting for them.

Erica shook off Matthew's hand and rushed to the living room to greet the two elders. "Mom. Dad."

"Hello, Rika." Debbie came over and held Erica's hand.

Erica nodded at her with a sweet smile, then turned to look at Carlos. In an instant, she looked aggrieved and sobbed, "Dad..."

Matthew's eyes widened upon seeing his pregnant wife crying. At this point, he knew that he lost.

'She's really good at acting. Anyone who doesn't know the real situation may think that I am a bully husband.'
