Take My Breath Away

Chapter 1199 Little Princess

Erica figured that if she didn't go to the charity auction with Matthew, her husband would definitely ask Phoebe to accompany him.

Matthew didn't answer right away. Phoebe's name hadn't even crossed his mind at that point.

Nonetheless, he nodded calmly, "Well, yeah. I wouldn't want to waste my time looking for someone else."

Erica handed him the banana peel and said, "If you throw that into the trash can for me, I'll go with you."

It was really childish, but she just didn't want to leave her seat.

"If you don't want to go, don't force yourself to do so." He remained in his seat.

"I want to! Why wouldn't I want to go? How could I refuse such a good opportunity?" If she didn't go, she would be creating an opportunity for her husband to spend his time and money on Phoebe! 'No way! That woman had treated me like that. Why should I create opportunities for Phoebe to be with Matthew?'

After getting the answer he had hoped for, Matthew stood up to dispose the banana peel.

He took out his phone and made a call. After making some arrangements, he returned to Erica and watched TV with her for a while.

Half an hour later, the doorbell rang. Erica, who had dozed off in Matthew's arms, woke up with a start when she heard the doorbell. "Who is it?"

Matthew checked his phone and then answered, "I'll get it."

Erica sat up straight and watched as he walked to the door.

She heard Paige's voice. "Mr. Huo, we've brought everything that you had asked for. And the chefs are here too."

"Good." Matthew entered the living room first.

Paige walked in after him, followed by several others, all carrying boxes in their hands. The two chefs at the back of the group went straight to the kitchen.

Matthew called out to Erica, "Come and have a look."

Four people carried in two racks of clothes—evening dresses of different styles and colors.

Paige opened one of the wooden cases which was filled with stylish shoes, and several brocade boxes beside it were filled with all kinds of jewelry.

All Erica had to do was choose.

She looked at Matthew in astonishment and asked him in a low voice, "Is the auction that grand? Do I need to be dressed so formally?"

"Not really. These are simple dresses." In Matthew's eyes, these were not the kind o

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

ready knew my needs very well."

'His needs? Oh!' Erica understood immediately. She sat up, held the man's face and kissed his lips gently. "Thank you, Matthew!"

With a smile in his eyes, he decided to let her go for the time being.

He kissed her forehead and said, "I'll pick you up after class."

"Okay, bye!"

That night, at the tenth autumn charity auction in Y City

The auction hall was filled with hundreds of people when Matthew arrived at the venue with Erica.

The other guests had to pay a deposit, but Matthew was the only one who didn't need to go through this procedure.

The person in charge led Matthew and Erica to the exclusive VIP seats. Along the way, many people walked over to greet Matthew.

Erica was in the spotlight as well. She looked very young in her light pink evening dress, and her long black hair was combed into a princess style bun.

She wore light make-up and had an innocent smile on her lips, revealing her lovely canines and her adorable dimples. She looked lively all the while as she held on to Matthew's arm and followed him obediently.

Her image that day was not in line with her title of "Miss Troublemaker" at all. She looked like a lovely, noble princess from a royal family.

Two seats were open for them in the front row of the auditorium; they were the best seats to appreciate the items on auction.

But... Erica's smile froze at the sight of the woman sitting next to their seats. It was Phoebe Su! Didn't Matthew say that he wouldn't bring Phoebe?
