“That's between Tessie and Erica. I'm not going to get involved." The way Matthew saw it, Tessie was a woman who didn't even want her own child and pretended to be dead to deceive everyone. She deserved to be beaten!

Taking a deep breath, Phoebe tried her best to suppress the anger surging in her heart and said, "Well, I see. I'll try to learn the truth first."

“Mmm hmm." He gave a simple reply and hung up.

At the Pearl Villa District

Erica walked into the villa slowly and put on her slippers without even thinking about it. Before she entered the living room, a sweet smell caressed her nostrils.

And that drew her interest. She took a few steps towards the kitchen and saw Matthew busy cooking in there.

He heard her come in. He looked up at her without saying anything and continued fixing the meal.

Erica wanted to ignore Matthew, but she couldn't because whatever he was cooking smelt so good.

She had to walk over to him and asked, "Hey good-looking. What are you cooking?"

"You got here just in time. Go to the fridge and get the sugar out.

Hurry up," said Matthew.

“Okay!" Reflexively, she walked towards the fridge.

It was not until she entered the walk-in fridge that she snapped back to her senses, wondering why she had to listen to him.

But she had already spotted the bottle of sugar. Pouting her lips, she reluctantly took the bottle and walked out of the fridge.

In the kitchen, Matthew was stirring something in the glass container

She leaned her head over and saw that the mix in the container was chocolate-colored.

"What are you doing? Is that chocolate?"

Matthew took the sugar bottle from her hand and poured some sugar into the mixture.

"Smart girl. Got it in one."

“So you know how to make chocolate?" Erica thought Matthew was a great guy. He was rich, that much was true, but he kept surprising her with how much he knew how to do.

“Yes." He figured he'd defray any other questions before she had a chance to ask them.

"Gwyn Liked this dessert, so I had the cook teach me how to make it.”

Erica's eyes were fixed on the bowl.

“Wow, you're so good to Gwyn.”

The man glanced at her and didn't deny it.
