Chapter 1248 Heartless

Her moans, her begs for mercy, her tears... And how she moved gently under him.

He was unbelievably attracted to her. Meanwhile, Erica was having different thoughts. 'How could he say something like that in public?' She grabbed Matthew's collar with one hand, buried her head in his chest and protested in a low voice, "Shut up! Shut up!"

Matthew's smile widened; his wife was becoming more and more adorable by the day.

From the time Erica had stormed out of the ward, Matthew carried her. He carried her all the way, until they were back in their bedroom.

Placing her gently on their big bed, he said shortly, "Rest." He wanted her to regain her energy so that he could have sex with her again that night.

"Oh, thank you so much for your concern."

Without replying to her sarcasm, he turned around and left.

Erica yawned. She was tired, and quickly fell asleep.

She was woken up by the sound of her ringtone. It was already dark outside.

The call was from Watkins. She said on the phone, "Hello?"

"Erica, are you free right now?"

"Yeah. What's up?" She turned over and felt much better in that position.

After a pause, Watkins said, "I'm partly responsible for Phoebe's miscarriage. I want to pay her a visit. Do you want to come with me?"

Erica didn't answer. Instead, she asked him, "Do you also think that I pushed her?"

"No, of course not. Although I didn't see anything, I know that you couldn't have done such a vicious thing. I'm sure it is a misunderstanding."

The trust from her friend was refreshing. "Thank you," she said.

"You're welcome, Erica. So? Are you coming?"

"No. I already visited her this afternoon. You should go and see her." She didn't want to see Phoebe again.

"Okay, I'll call you after I meet her," Watkins said.

'Call me? Why?' Erica thought. But she didn't dwell on it. "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Erica stretched on her bed. It was half past five. She was hungry again.

Moments before Matthew came back, Erica had just finished her dinner and was drowsily watching a horror movie sitting on the living room sofa.

Matthew threw his briefcase aside and loosened his tie. He watched the woman as she stared at the TV motionlessly; he tried not to laugh. 'She is so carefree. The Su family is about to sue her, a

ill married me without hesitation." Phoebe paused and took a deep breath. She continued, "Not long after we got married, he began to show dissatisfaction in me because I only cared about you. He complained that I was always talking about you. Matthew, don't you feel my love?"

Phoebe broke down completely. She cried and questioned the heartless man in front of her.

Everyone knew that she was in love with Matthew, including the members of the Su family.

The reason why the Su family hadn't attended Nathan's funeral was because they had wanted Phoebe to marry Matthew. But she ended up marrying Nathan because of what Matthew had once said.

Soon after the wedding, Phoebe's status in the family declined greatly, and they looked down upon Nathan, who was a mere vice manager of a company. They never treated him as the son-in-law of the Su family. Besides, they considered attending his funeral would bring bad luck.

Matthew looked at Phoebe indifferently even as she cried. "What if I did feel it? It's your own business whom you love. It has nothing to do with me," he said coldly.

His heartlessness made her shiver. "Have you never loved me?" she asked, still unwilling to give up. On the day that she had married Nathan, she had hoped to see regret on Matthew's face, but there was nothing. He was unaffected.

"If I loved you, then what about my wife?" Who could spoil Rika like he did?

If Erica had married another man, she wouldn't have been this happy, because nobody could have loved her as much as he did.
