In an instant, the face of the man in front of her changed, seeming to be covered with a thin layer of frost.

“Stop eating them," he said coldly, pulling the plate of macarons away.

Erica was confused by his sudden temper. She pursed her lips and complained in her heart, ‘Why are you so angry? Shouldn't you be happy that you're a father now?' "Why aren't you letting me eat? Do you want to eat them by yourself?" she asked in bewilderment.

Instead of answering, Matthew got up with the plate and strode toward the trash can.

“Matthew, what are you doing?" Erica asked anxiously.

Matthew remained silent as he emptied the plate into the trash can before throwing it into the sink.

Looking at the macarons in the trash can, Erica felt so upset that her eyes turned red.

“So now that Phoebe is pregnant with his child, he doesn't care about me at all anymore? She's the most important person to him now?' she wondered bitterly, biting her lip.

Then, she turned around and ran upstairs without saying a word.

Two hours passed, and Matthew still hadn't come upstairs to look for her.

It was only then that it occurred to her that Matthew had told Phoebe that he would visit her soon, and that he must have already left the house.

At Orchid Private Club

When Harmon returned to the table after taking a phone call, he found

Sheffield trying to persuade Matthew.

“Since you're already married to

Rika, why don't you try to Like her?" Of course, no one but Sheffield knew the true motive behind his words.

Glancing at Sheffield, Matthew put down his glass and said, "She was willing to have another man's baby, which means that she Loves him very much. Do you think I will humiliate myself?" That was what he had thought at the beginning.

“No, Matthew, you're wrong!" Sheffield argued.

When Matthew didn't reply, he continued, “How can you say that you're humiliating yourself? It's true that Erica gave birth to another man's child, but that's in the past. Everyone has a past, right? We all know that she is a simple-minded woman. The biological father never showed up after the child was born, so it's obvious that she fell for a bad man. As long as she is willing to let go of the past and live happily with you, you should cherish her."

"You're wrong. Ethan's biological father did show up. He just met her and the baby a few days ago," Matthew corrected Sheffield with a thin smile on his Lips.

Sheffield was taken aback after hearing this.

"He showed up? So your rival in love has appeared? Were you there then? What happened?"

“Guess.”

Sheffield rolled his eyes at him.

“You're so childish. Fine, I'll entertain you. I think that you were there too. Your rival probably said that he came to see the child, but in fact, he wanted to get Rika back."
