Take My Breath Away

When the ceremony was over, Matthew and Phoebe saw the guests out at the entrance of the venue, while Erica quietly awaited them in a corner.

Even so, knowing that she was Matthew's wife, quite a few people still came by to say goodbye to Erica.

It was quite clear from their curious eyes that they had a lot of questions on their mind, but in light of the occasion, they decided to set aside their curiosity and leave with a brief goodbye.

About twenty minutes later, Matthew came in and found Erica, who was standing in the corner. "We can go now," he said.

"Oh... Okay!" She followed him out.

Phoebe was waiting for them just outside. When she saw Matthew and Erica, she took her bag from the staff and walked with them to the parking lot.

As they walked, Matthew suddenly spoke. "I'll ask my assistant to take you back home."

Just as Erica wondered who he was talking to, Phoebe stopped and stood in front of him. "Matthew, I've sorted out Nathan's belongings. I want to give some of them to you. Can we go to his house?"

After a brief pause, Matthew nodded, "Sure." Then he looked at Erica. "You..."

Erica felt it would be inappropriate for her to join them because she didn't know Nathan personally. Just as Matthew was about to say something, she cut him short. "Actually, I am supposed to meet my friend this afternoon to buy some stationeries. Why don't you go ahead? I can take a taxi home."

Matthew shot a baleful glance at her and said, "Who are you supposed to meet up with? You've already made a friend at school?"

"No, it's Hya...Well, you don't know him anyway. He is my friend from A Country and now he's transferred to my school. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine!" In truth, she never had an appointment with Hyatt; she had just made up an excuse to leave.

"Wait!" Matthew stopped her.

Erica turned around in confusion.

Matthew said to Paige, "Take Mrs. Huo home first. I'll ask Owen to send someone to pick us up."

"Yes, Mr. Huo." Paige looked at Erica and opened the door for her, "Mrs. Huo, please get in the car."

Erica quickly waved her hands at Matthew and said, "No need, Matthew. I can wait a little longer since I have nothing else to do. You two have important things to do; I don't want to take up your time!"

Erica meant every word she had said because she didn't have anything important to do, whereas, Matthew h

ht he did those things merely because she was his wife.

As such, watching Matthew being nice to other women was an unusual sight for Erica.

Rhea tried to analyze her words and asked, "So, you're trying to say that Matthew's goddess married his best friend and so, with much grief, he had no choice but to marry you?"

"Yes! It all makes sense now!"

"But... Aren't you overthinking this a little too much?"

"No, I am not. By the way, did you know that Hyatt has transferred to the same school as me in Y City?"

Rhea rolled her eyes and said, "Why is he always following you around? I don't think you should have messed with him in the first place." The fact that Hyatt went as far as transferring to another school, after Erica had gotten married to a man in Y City, indeed, looked like a sign of desperation. His actions were like that of a lackey who would follow his crush to the ends of the world, no matter what.

"Forget it. I'm going to look for Hyatt now. I feel sorry for him. He has no friends in this city. I'll take him shopping," Erica said.

Rhea reminded her, "Don't forget that you are Mrs. Huo now. Almost everyone knows about you. Please be sure to keep a safe distance from Hyatt because you don't want people to spread rumors about you again."

"Why would they spread rumors about me? I didn't do anything to them. They were just being ridiculous!"

"Madam, ever since you married Matthew, you became an enemy to women all over the world who love and adore him! Do you understand what I am trying to say?"

Erica's lips twitched. "Is it that bad?"
