After hanging up, Matthew put his phone away to wash his hands so he could continue cutting the vegetables. Suddenly, he noticed Erica standing next to the kitchen counter, staring at him with one hand rubbing her chin curiously

He asked, “What's up?"

“Who were you talking to? Why do you sound so happy?" ALL Erica heard before Matthew hung up was the man saying goodbye to someone.

Matthew remained silent while he turned on the tap and washed his hands. Then he answered, “I've uncovered a mystery."

“What mystery?" Erica's interest was piqued

He deliberately pretended to be vague.

“A mystery about a girl!"

“A girl? Which girl? Do I know her?"

“Take a guess!"

‘Guess?' Erica pouted, quickly becoming disenchanted with this game

Just as she had opened her mouth to say something, her phone rang in her pocket.

"Mom?"

It was Blair.

Rika, what are you doing?"

‘m waiting for dinner!" Erica sounded bored when she replied.

"I have something to tell you. Listen carefully.”

‘m Listening!"

“Have you and Matthew slept together yet?”

‘Huh?’ Erica blinked her eyes curiously.

“Yes, I have. We sleep in the same bed every night."

Meanwhile, Matthew was alerted by Erica's answer.

"That's not what I asked. I mean..." Blair got a little frustrated, sensing her daughter's confusion. Needless to say, she felt embarrassed to talk to her daughter about this topic.

"Have you and Matthew done it yet?"

“What are you talking about?" Erica asked. As her eyes quickly glanced at Matthew, who was busy cooking for her, she was charmed at how handsome and thoughtful he looked while cooking

"Do you really not understand what I am trying to say?" Blair's annoyance was getting obvious at this point. Even as a mother, Blair was beginning to have doubts as to whether her daughter really belonged in the twenty-first century or not.
