But now, it seemed that that wasn't the case at all.

That made perfect sense, though. Why would he, a handsome, rich, and powerful man, fall in Love with a single mom?

Erica believed that Matthew had no reason to love her.

Since that was the case, she was relieved.

There were many people in the Hilton family manor. It was as lively as a family reunion dinner on the 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."
