Take My Breath Away

Chapter 1132 Bring Over The Woman You Love

'It's really touching how he is promising to protect Ethan and me...' Erica was deeply moved by Matthew's words. She could imagine a scene where she was holding the baby in her arms and standing behind Matthew, who looked tall and overbearing. He looked like he could protect her at all costs, and she felt so safe being around him.

"But...there's a slight problem. My mother doesn't want me to bring Ethan here. She is afraid that having to take care of him will affect my studies." That wasn't the only thing that worried Blair. She was also afraid that Matthew would not like this. After all, this was Matthew's home.

The presence of a baby would definitely cause a great deal of inconvenience. Matthew was a busy man, and he liked being busy. More importantly, Ethan was not his biological son.

"Well...if you want me to, I can talk to your mom," Matthew suggested.

Erica hesitated for a while, and finally shook her head in negative. "No, thanks. Maybe someday, it will be the right time for our divorce. After that, I can go back to A Country. If Ethan were here, then it would only cause more trouble." She was always ready to divorce Matthew and go back to A Country.

Matthew decided to drop the topic. He couldn't solve the problem, so there was no use worrying about it. "Alright. In that case, if you face any more trouble, just come to me. I'll have my people handle it for you," he assured her.

Erica turned to look at the man with admiration. She admired the woman he loved so much. It had been really lucky that she had managed to win the heart of such a good man.

Now she understood why some women were okay with being mistresses. But at the end of the day, her own morality did not allow her to be a mistress.

A couple of minutes later, he switched off the hairdryer and put it back inside the box. "Alright. You go get some rest now," he said.

Erica moved a little on the bed and said, "Thank you!"

As if he hadn't heard her, Matthew went straight to the bathroom with the box. After a while, he came back, switched off the light, and lay down as well.

In the darkness, Erica turned to look at the man lying beside her and remarked, "Matthew, you are so kind to me. I don't know how to repay that. And I don't think I ever will. I have an idea though. Bring over the woman you love to the villa, and I'll sleep in another room. I'll cover for you in front of your dad. How does that sound?"

Matthew was a bit amused by her suggestion. He turned over and looked her in the eye. "That's rather generous of you," he mocked.

Erica gave him a wry smile and answered shyl

sleep elsewhere, but he merely went into the bathroom.

He didn't come out until Erica had already fallen asleep.

The next morning, when the alarm rang, Erica slowly opened her eyes and welcomed the sunlight peeking through the curtains. She turned over and went right back to sleep. She subconsciously pulled the quilt in closer, as if she hadn't heard the alarm.

She didn't sit up until her phone rang and interrupted her beautiful dream.

She looked around with her sleepy eyes and found nobody but herself. The phone was still ringing incessantly on the table, and she groggily checked it. The number was unknown to her. "Hello?"

"Good morning, Mrs. Huo. This is Jarvis Zheng. I will be your driver and drive you to the school. Are you up?"

'Drive me to the school? Oh yeah. Right, I have to go to school today!' she thought.

Erica finally lost a bit of sleep now. "Hello, yeah. I'm so sorry. I still haven't gotten up. I'll get ready as soon as possible!"

"Take your time, Mrs. Huo. There's still an hour! I'll wait for you outside!"

"Okay, thanks!" Erica hung up and got out of bed.

About a couple of hours later, Jarvis Zheng brought Erica to the principal's office of Y City Film Academy.

The discussion turned towards the matter of accommodation. Even before Erica could speak, Jarvis Zheng told the principal, "Mr. Huo said that Mrs. Huo won't board at the school. So there's no need to arrange a dormitory for her."

"Okay!" the principal nodded.

Erica, however, wanted to board at the school. That way, she wouldn't have to go back to Matthew's villa.

Thinking about that, she whispered in Jarvis Zheng's ear, "No, wait. I need to board at the school. Ask the principal to arrange a dorm for me."
