“Yes, I do," she answered with a smile.

Everyone, especially her father, was finally relieved by her answer.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife." As the emcee faced Matthew, he continued, "You may now kiss the bride!"

Amidst warm applause, Matthew lowered his head and approached Erica slowly.

The closer he got to Erica, the more nervous she felt. Her Lips trembled as she whispered to him, “Really? Are you really going to kiss me?"

Matthew raised his eyebrows.

“Why? What's the matter?"

Before she could say anything, he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulled her close to his body and pressed his lips on hers.

Erica rolled her eyes with dissatisfaction. 'Oh my God! Is this really my first kiss? This is not romantic at all.'

A moment later, she whispered, "We both know that this marriage isn't based on love. You don't have to make it look like it is. A fake kiss will suffice.

" Unfortunately, that was how Erica would have to remember her first kiss for the rest of her life.

However, the fact that she was getting a handsome husband like Matthew out of this marriage was her only consolation prize.

"Yes, I don't Love you. But who says a man can only kiss the woman he loves?"

“Huh? What a jerk!* she cursed him in her mind.

Sitting with the others, Sheffield asked the woman sitting next to him,

“Honey, do you think Matthew will fall in love with Miss Troublemaker someday?"

“Well..." Glancing at the new couple, Evelyn noticed that Erica's frustration, but Matthew was still expressionless, as if he was completely oblivious as to what was going on.

“It will be a bit difficult for Matthew to fall in love with Erica," she answered.

Even they could tell that the newlyweds on the platform had no feelings of love and affection for each other. They wondered if perhaps Matthew and Erica would come to love each other in time.

“Why don't we make a bet? I'll bet that Matthew will fall in love with

Erica," Sheffield said firmly.

"I just said it was going to be difficult. I didn't say that it was impossible," answered Evelyn, rolling her eyes at him.

“You think he's going to fall for her, don't you? I think so too. Wise minds, think alike. I always know we have a special connection, my love. Now let me announce the beginning of the TV series—Matthew's

Sweet Wife."

Evelyn was rendered speechless. In the afternoon, Matthew and Erica went back to the Hilton family's manor where the reception was going to be held. He held a banquet to entertain a bunch of his friends.
