Erica placed her head on his shoulder and reassured him, "You are his son. He just said that he disliked you. But in fact, he loves you very much. You should know this!"

Matthew sneered, “If that's what you believe, then you don't know him."

Ever since he was a child, he felt as though his father only cared about the women in their family. If Debbie hadn't treated him well, he would have thought that he was not Carlos' biological son.

Erica wrapped her dainty arms around his head and patted him as if she were comforting a child.

"Honey, don't cry. I'll be good to you in the future. As long as you are obedient, I'll buy you whatever you want.”

Matthew, who buried his face in her arms, was rendered speechless.

‘What? Does she think I'm a three-year-old child? It doesn't matter.

Her affection is a welcome change!‘

On the afternoon of the second day, Matthew was engaged in his work in the study. As Gifford was not at home, Yvette took the opportunity to accompany Erica and Chantel on their shopping trip.

Before they returned home, the three headed to the supermarket.

In the supermarket

The three women separated to buy what they wanted. While Chantel and

Yvette went to pick up drinks, Erica made her way toward the snack aisle.

As she pushed the shopping cart around a corner, Erica's curiosity was piqued by a man and a woman who stood before a shelf, whispering about something.

“Honey, we don't need them, okay?" the man said.

“We must use them. I'll get pregnant without them," the woman protested anxiously.

“No, you won't. I won't ejaculate inside you. Besides, it doesn't feel good to use them," the man rationalized.

“Then, we'll buy thin ones."

The man sighed helplessly.

“Okay.”

After grabbing a box of condoms from the shelf, the man began walking toward the payment counter. He turned and saw a girl standing in front of the aisle. She seemed to be lost in her thoughts.

The couple didn't dwell on what the girl was doing. They shot her a curious look and left.

Erica studied the condoms in front of her. They were full of different scents and sizes.

“I'LL get pregnant without them!" What the woman said echoed in Erica's mind.

She'd never given condoms a second thought. But this woman's words shocked her into reality. She stood there, thinking of all the times she and Matthew were intimate together.
