Take My Breath Away

Chapter 1137 Be Careful With Her

Erica believed that Matthew had no reason to love her.

Since that was the case, she was relieved.

There were many people in the Huo family manor. It was as lively as a family reunion dinner on the Lunar New Year's Eve. Before the lunch began, Sheffield offered to bring drinks for everyone.

Since he didn't know what Erica preferred, he asked, "Rika, what would you like to drink?"

"Coke!" Erica answered without hesitation.

Terilynn took a sip of her juice and said excitedly, "What a coincidence, Erica. Matthew likes coke, too!"

Erica glanced at the man who was silently sitting beside her. She didn't expect him to like coke. She thought he was fond of red wine.

Joshua smiled and said, "The coke at home is prepared especially for Matthew. Well, it looks like someone is going to give Matthew competition for his coke from now on."

After grabbing two cans of coke, Sheffield placed them in front of Erica and Matthew. Then he walked to Joshua, patted his shoulder, and said, "How can you say that? Since Rika is Matthew's wife, he will happily share his coke with her. Right, Matthew?" Sheffield winked at Matthew.

Matthew glanced at Sheffield before he turned to Evelyn and said, "Evelyn, Sheffield mentioned that you've been in a bad mood lately."

"Hey, hey, don't get me into trouble, Matthew!" After saying that, Sheffield trotted briskly back to his seat and put his arm around Evelyn's shoulder. "Don't listen to him. I did say that you've been in a bad mood recently, but I also said that you've become more and more adorable!"

Without the slightest change in her expression, Evelyn poured some juice for Gwyn and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, I see. We'll talk about it later tonight."

Sheffield wanted to cry.

They knew that Evelyn preferred to talk with her husband behind closed doors. Given her temperament, Sheffield would end up on his knees, begging for forgiveness. This made everyone else burst into gales of laughter.

Carlos gazed at his son for a long time. When he sensed that his son didn't get his hint, he said gruffly, "Matthew, open the can of coke for Rika."

With widened eyes, Erica leaned forward, grabbed her can of coke, and said to Carlos, "Thank you, Dad. But I can open it myself."

Erica would never adm

e had never seen each other in three years after we got our marriage certificates. When we finally met, he wanted to bury me alive or throw me into the sea. I was lucky that I survived all that misery."

Guilt coursed through Carlos when Debbie mentioned the past. He picked up some food and poured a glass of juice for Debbie before saying, "Why did you talk about that? Let bygones be bygones."

"Ha-ha." Everyone knew what had happened between Debbie and Carlos back then. They couldn't help but laugh when they saw Carlos' frustrated expression.

After a pleasant lunch, everyone went to the living room to rest.

Since everyone was concerned, Erica updated them about recent events in her life. "The procedures of entering Y City Film Academy are complete. Tomorrow, I will start classes..."

"Well, that's good!"

Clang! At this moment, a loud noise came from the other side of the living room.

It sounded as if something had broken. Before anyone could figure out what had happened, the maid cried, "Miss Gwyn! Are you okay?"

When the family heard the noise, they stood and walked to the other side of the living room.

At the mention of Gwyn's name, Sheffield rushed to their location. By the time everyone reached, Sheffield had already squatted before the young girl. He asked anxiously, "What happened, Gwyn?"

An expensive flowerpot had fallen to the floor and broken. The exquisite plant it held, lay on the floor beside her. Gwyn seemed to be staring at the broken flowerpot innocently.
