Take My Breath Away

'I can have him wrapped around my little finger? And I'll be able to do whatever I want? Is that even possible?' Erica wondered suspiciously. Nonetheless, she nodded eagerly. "Of course I want to!"

Matthew tightened his arms around her waist. As he stared at her red lips, his Adam's apple bobbed in his throat. "Mrs. Huo, if you give birth to a baby for me, I'll make you the most powerful person in Y City in everyone's eyes, even mine. What do you think?"

"Well..." Erica trailed off thoughtfully. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "But I don't want to have a baby now." The truth was, she was afraid of death.

Tessie had died while giving birth to Ethan. What if Erica met the same fate as her? Who would inherit her billions of wealth if she died?

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to have a baby right now. I won't force you. But...we can start practicing for it."

Erica, of course, knew what he meant by "practicing." She shifted uncomfortably on his lap like she was sitting on pins and needles. "No, no, no. I just want to take pictures of you!"

Matthew wasn't in a hurry. He just played with her hand and said, "Think it over, Mrs. Huo. If you become the most powerful person in my eyes, you can not only take photos of me with clothes on, but also with them off. You can make me your nude model."

Erica stared at him with her mouth agape. 'Mr. Huo, can't you be more reserved?' she thought to herself.

It was not until then that she realized how badly he wanted to sleep with her. However, she was really not ready for it now. She pinched his cheek in mock-anger and said, "Matthew Huo, you just want to trick me into having your baby!"

Her mother had already been nagging at her to have a baby recently, and now, this man was also doing the same. There was no way she would fall into their trap!

Matthew shook his head. "How can you say I'm tricking you? Isn't it normal for a woman to have her husband's baby?"

"It's normal, but..." Erica didn't know how to explain the uneasiness she felt in her heart even after pondering it over for a while.

'Forget it.

I don't want to think about this anymore!' she thought and finally decided to change the topic. Out loud, she said, "Forget it. I won't take pictures of you anymore. Have you finished your work? Make macarons for me once you do!"

Matthew felt helpless all of a sudden. As far as he knew, Erica was usually a little naive and stupid. Why was she being so wary th

le after taking a phone call, he found Sheffield trying to persuade Matthew. "Since you're already married to Rika, why don't you try to like her?" Of course, no one but Sheffield knew the true motive behind his words.

Glancing at Sheffield, Matthew put down his glass and said, "She was willing to have another man's baby, which means that she loves him very much. Do you think I will humiliate myself?" That was what he had thought at the beginning.

"No, Matthew, you're wrong!" Sheffield argued.

When Matthew didn't reply, he continued, "How can you say that you're humiliating yourself? It's true that Erica gave birth to another man's child, but that's in the past. Everyone has a past, right? We all know that she is a simple-minded woman. The biological father never showed up after the child was born, so it's obvious that she fell for a bad man. As long as she is willing to let go of the past and live happily with you, you should cherish her."

"You're wrong. Ethan's biological father did show up. He just met her and the baby a few days ago," Matthew corrected Sheffield with a thin smile on his lips.

Sheffield was taken aback after hearing this. "He showed up? So your rival in love has appeared? Were you there then? What happened?"

"Guess."

Sheffield rolled his eyes at him. "You're so childish. Fine, I'll entertain you. I think that you were there too. Your rival probably said that he came to see the child, but in fact, he wanted to get Rika back."

Harmon looked at Sheffield with a smile. "How dare you poke your nose into Matthew's private affairs? You haven't had enough of kneeling down on a keyboard?"
