“Understand what? Mom, why are you being so weird? What are you trying to say?"

Putting down the kitchen knife in his hand, Matthew looked at Erica and said calmly, "Mom wants to know if we've had slept together yet."

“Oh! But I told her that we sleep..." Erica paused, finally realizing what her mom was trying to say and quickly explained, “No, we haven't.

I mean we share the same bed every night. That's all. We didn't do anything else."

It was just as Blair had guessed.

“Why have you not slept together yet?" she asked.

“Huh? Why?' Erica, ridden with guilt, Looked at Matthew and said, "Here is the thing. Matthew is a gentleman and he said that he would respect my boundaries!"

Matthew put the bowl of freshly washed vegetables aside and drew closer to Erica without being noticed. Then he said, "Don't make me sound Like such a good guy. I'm not as good as you think

Erica was dumbstruck.

"But that's exactly what you said!"

“Yes, I said it, but in that situation, I had no choice!" Matthew turned around and grabbed the bowl full of vegetables.

Blair had heard Matthew's words clearly and she closed her eyes, trying to suppress her anger.

"Erica!"

Sensing her mother's displeasure, Erica's eyes widened. She glared at

Matthew and said, "Mom, I heard you. You don't need to yell!"

“Are you trying to piss me off? Why haven't you consummated your marriage yet? Were you pretending to be shy the whole time? Matthew is your husband. I don't understand why you're behaving like this! Listen,

I want you to get pregnant in two months!"

Blair spoke in a tone similar to Wesley's. Perhaps in the years they had spent together, some of their traits had rubbed off on each other.

“Two months?" Erica couldn't believe her ears.

"Yes!" Blair said firmly.

Erica stood still in a daze.

"Mom, I'm still a student..." She wondered why her mother had come up with such a terrible idea all of a sudden.

Most importantly, why was she rushing her to have Matthew's baby?

“That's not a problem. College students are allowed to have a baby.

Believe me, your studies will not be delayed because of your pregnancy!" Besides, everyone knew that Erica never studied hard in school. Therefore, having a child would make very Little difference to begin with.
