As she thought of that, she suddenly remembered another serious matter.

Although she was feeling guilty about it, she enjoyed the special service Matthew was giving her at the same time. She was acting like a bitch!

“Matthew, just let me dry my hair myself." She didn't want to be a bitch, which was the one thing she hated most in her life.

However, Matthew was still so engrossed in what he was doing and it looked like he didn't want to stop.

"Let's talk about Ethan's father."

‘Ethan's father?' Erica's face shifted ever so slightly. Truth be told, she didn't know much about Tam. Why was Matthew asking about him out of the blue?

After a period of silence, he didn't get answer.

“What kind of person is he?" he asked cautiously.

“He is a mature man. He holds both money and power. But more than that, he is such a bastard!" Erica had met Tam Watts a number of times, and that was her impression of him.

“When did you realize that he is a bastard? Was it before or after

Ethan was born?" he went on and asked.

After giving it much thought, Erica answered, “After the baby was born.

He disappeared without a trace about five or six months before the baby was born."

With a straight face, Matthew continued drying her hair and asked again, "Did he try to reach out to you after the baby was born?"

“Yes, he called me twice, but I didn't answer. Why should I answer his calls? And it's not just that I wouldn't answer his calls, but I also have no plans of handing Ethan over to him!" As she talked about this,

Erica went into a fit of anger.

"Well, then don't give Ethan to him. Based on what you said, I don't think he is a competent father!"

“Exactly! I think so too. Matthew, he seems to be aware of Ethan's existence, but he hasn't done anything about it at all. What if he shows up one day and tries to take Ethan away?" Erica worriedly asked with her eyes wide open.

As Matthew gently ran his fingers through her hair, he asked, “Do you want to give the boy to him?"

“Of course not. My parents have been working so hard to raise him well.

Now, they have already grown fond of him. If that bastard suddenly takes him away, there's no doubt that my mother will be depressed." She could tell that everyone in her family treated Ethan as one of their own.

Pausing for a while, Matthew then said, “You can bring him to Alorith and stay here. I'LL protect you."

"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
