Joshua said.
Everyone in the Hilton family shook their heads.
Obviously, none of them believed it.
Debbie was the only one that believed Matthew. She had heard Erica say that herself. But she wasn't going to get involved in this.
Erica just sipped her cola without a care in the world. But she wouldn't meet Matthew's gaze. The smile on her face was like a little fox's, revealing her smugness.
Matthew sneered. He knew when he was beaten. So he wouldn't say another word about how they were together. This woman was clever!
They were his own family. His father, mother, sisters, and brothers-in-Law. But none of them believed him. The only one that did wouldn't say a word to back him up.
And now, something Erica once said suddenly occurred to him. She said she was the black sheep of the family. Come to think of it, Matthew was beginning to feel kind of woolly himself.
Looking at Erica, who was still busy sipping her coke, Matthew squeezed her hand and said, "Don't you want to say something to everyone?" She needed to learn how to stick up for her husband in front of others.
Carlos glared at his son with dissatisfaction.
"Matthew, if Rika doesn't want to say anything, then she doesn't have to. Why are you trying to make her do anything?"
Matthew felt misunderstood and helpless. He wasn't trying to make her do anything. He wanted her to speak up, and was reminding her to do so.
After thinking for a while, Debbie said, “Rika, if Matthew does something like that again, pack your stuff and move in here. Stay here as long as you want. It'll teach him a Lesson!"
Matthew felt so glum. Why did he come here for dinner again?
It was Sheffield who burst into laughter first after hearing what
Debbie said. He gave Debbie a thumbs up and said, “Hahaha, you're definitely Matthew's biological mom!"
Erica also wanted to Laugh out loud, but she had to maintain her image.
So, she smiled a little and said, “Thank you, Mom. Maybe I'll really come and bug you one day!"
“What are you talking about? It's your house too. You know where
Matthew's room is. You're welcome here anytime." Debbie was on Erica's side. It was about time someone put that man in his place.
She felt bad for Erica. The girl tried to do something nice for her best friend, and got spat on for it. She not only raised a baby that wasn't hers, but it also ruined her reputation. Everybody talked trash about her because of it. Now her name was finally cleared. She had no child or boyfriend. Matthew was pretty thorough at getting the news out. He and Rika had a bright future together, and he was a lucky man indeed.
“Sounds good! But Matthew doesn't bully me," Erica said. She turned and smiled at the recently deflated man.
Noticing the self-satisfied look in her eyes, Matthew tried to hide his wounded ego with a harsh attitude.
"Bully her?" he snorted.
"You women are always put on a pedestal in this family. How can I compete with that?"
