“Would you prefer that I tell you that you are as stupid as a pig on the phone?"
Erica's eyes widened with surprise as she was not expecting such a reply. Unaccustomed to being treated like this, she vented her anger by hammering on the bed and screaming, “Matthew, you're a pig! A big pig!
A stinking pig!"
But it didn't seem to help. Still angry, she grabbed the nightgown, crumpled it, and threw it on the bed.
Erica held back her anger as her fingers flew over the keypad. She texted back, "Mr. Matthew, I'll Leave you alone now."
Half an hour later, Erica received a message from Matthew, which read,
“Don't be so upset. There is nothing intimate about my relationship with Paige. She and I are just boss and subordinate. She has a good relationship with her husband."
"Oh, so, your Love is unrequited? I'll keep the secret for you!"
Erica's stubbornness and inability to accept his explanations exasperated Matthew. He struggled to contain his emotions.
"Your stupidity has reached a new level." He wondered why there was such a stupid woman as Erica in this world.
He didn't know that Erica would use his messages to cause trouble. As soon as she saw the insult, she took a screenshot of the sentence and the previous taunt, “Would you prefer that I tell you that you are as stupid as a pig on the phone?" and sent them to Wesley. Then she texted, "Dad, I'm unhappy. Look at what Matthew is saying about me. He despises me. I want to come home."
As Wesley was busy, he didn't reply for a while. Erica paced in the bedroom as she waited. As soon as she heard the notification, she grabbed her phone and read the message. Wesley had written, “It's a good thing you and Matthew chat and text so often. I'm sure Matthew wasn't being rude.
You're indeed not bright. I can sense from his tone that he is doting on you. Can't you see that?" Erica was even more confused now. Did
Wesley have X-ray eyes? How could he interpret a person's emotions just by reading these cold words? “Dad, I found out that the girl in
Matthew's heart is his female special assistant. Unfortunately, she is married, and his love is unrequited!"
“Look at this situation positively. Now, you have the opportunity to consolidate the relationship between you and Matthew so that he can divert all his attention to you.”
Erica suddenly felt as though she was competing with other girls for
Matthew's love, just like the plot of a TV series about the emperor's women.
“Are you advising me to attract the attention of a man who doesn't Love me?"
"If you are going to think like this, then I can't help you," Wesley replied.
Erica rolled her eyes at the text.
"Dad, don't you know that irresponsible men always say that?"
“If you will not change the way you think, then there's nothing I can do about it."
For a moment, Erica was speechless. ‘Okay, you win. I will remember this.’ “Wesley, when you and Mom are old, I'll take you and my mother out for a drive. Then, I will stop at a busy place, and force you to watch as my mother chats with other men.”
Wesley replied calmly, "I've never regretted letting you marry Matthew.
