Without any hesitation, he grabbed her wrist, and took her into his arms. He moved his head close to hers, and whispered, “You need to be reminded who's the boss."

Erica felt guilty and her heart beat faster. She opened her mouth and explained quickly, "Watkins and I had something to talk about..."

She just said she was alone, and now, she was caught with Watkins. It was like a slap in the face.

“And you felt you had to do this behind my back? How could you lie to me?" How Matthew wished he could strangle the woman in his arms right now! She'd lied to him over another guy.

“What? I didn't do it behind your back!" Erica finally came to her senses and denied any responsibility. She wouldn't be bullied! She held

Matthew's arm and said, "This is important. I had something to discuss with him!"

Matthew didn't want to hear her for the time being. He looked at

Watkins indifferently and said, "Watkins, don't you like playing with the Shiba Inu? How about I send you a cat too?"

With a stiff smile on his face, Watkins stood up from the chair and explained calmly, “Matthew, Erica and I came out to ferret out the truth behind Phoebe's miscarriage. You don't believe her, so I-"

“Who told you I don't believe my wife?" Matthew interrupted him.

Erica was stunned by his words. She raised her head and looked at the stony-faced man. ‘Does that mean he does believe me?

But if he really believes I did nothing wrong, why did he ask me to give him a child as compensation? If he believes me, then I don't have to get pregnant so soon."

Watkins smiled helplessly and smoothed his short hair. After a tense moment, he replied, "Matthew, I'm happy that you trust Erica." He looked at Erica, and said, “You should finish your coffee. Don't let it go to waste!"

The waitress had already brought the two cups of coffee they ordered but they hadn't had a sip yet.

“The bill's on me. Watkins, you can leave now," Matthew said in a cold voice.

If it were possible, things got even more intense. Erica tugged at the man's sleeve and said in a small voice, "Matthew, don't be like that.

We're just having coffee." He was so jealous and possessive that sometimes she felt she couldn't breathe.

When he saw Erica with Hyatt, he had no problem. But every time he saw her with Watkins, he would get jealous.

She didn't know why Matthew hated Watkins so much.

Matthew didn't give in. He tightened his arm around Erica's waist.

"You want coffee? I can do that! Hell, I'll buy the cafe for you!" ‘But you can't have coffee with another guy! Especially Watkins!’ He didn't say that part out Loud.

“Coffee is not the point. The point is that Watkins and I are just friends. Don't friends usually go out for coffee?" Erica asked in frustration.

“Doesn't he have any female friends? Wouldn't he go out to dinner with them?' She wouldn't believe it if he said he had no female friends.

After all, every rich man was surrounded by women of all shapes and sizes.

‘How dare she speak for another man!' Fury was written all over
