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 admit to being weak or vulnerable. How could she allow someone else to open her can of coke? She used to crush an apple with a single punch!

Matthew picked up the can of coke before him, opened it, put it in front of her, and stretched his hand.

Erica understood what he meant. Since the opened coke was in front of her, she didn't want to be pretentious. So, she handed the can in her hand to him.

"Thank you!"

Debbie gazed at them, and asked with a smile, "Matthew, do you think

Rika looks Like a girl made of coke?"

‘What?' Erica stared at Debbie as confusion coursed through her. She wondered what she was going to say.

Matthew, on the other hand, simply hummed. He had nothing to say!

"You think so, don't you? Evelyn is bossy and domineering, like a girl made of red wine. Rika is like a princess made of coke, who will explode if you don't treat her properly. So, you should be careful with her, Matthew." Debbie was subtly hinting at something. She was afraid that Matthew, who was similar to Carlos in character, might unwittingly hurt Erica.

Debbie's kindness deeply moved Erica. Before Matthew could say anything, she picked up a piece of baked chicken and placed it on

Debbie's plate.

"Mom, you are so nice to me!"

“Thank you, Rika." Debbie smiled as she Lifted the chicken and put it into her mouth.

“You're welcome, Mom!”

Carlos was very satisfied with Erica. She was so adorable, filial, and generous. When Debbie was younger, she resembled Erica.

“Rika, your mom is right. If Matthew dares to bully you again, you can call us, and

I'll beat him with a stick," he said.

Tears welled in Erica's eyes. As her father had said, everyone in the

Hilton family was nice to her.

Brushing away the awkward moment, Erica stood, spooned a meatball onto his plate, and said, “Thank you, Dad." After a brief pause, she reluctantly added, “Dad, you and Mom don't need to worry about me.

Matthew treats me very well, and he never bullies me. Am I right,

Matthew?"

She winked at Matthew.

Now that people were watching him, Matthew could no Longer stay silent.
