Scarcely ten minutes passed. Erica suddenly held Matthew's hand, quickly turned over and turned on the bedside Lamp.

It was too late for Matthew to stop her. He held something in his hand, the wrapper half-open.

Heedless of how she was completely naked, Erica carefully Looked at the thing in the man's hand. It was a condom!

So Matthew had been using condoms every time they had sex!

Therefore, even if she gave it everything she had, she would never get pregnant.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Matthew's face, which was pretty rare as he was usually calm and collected. He held the now-opened condom wrapper in his hand and hugged his wife, pulling her closer.

Tears welled in Erica's troubled eyes. Her words were choked by grief.

"You...you...bastard!" How could he Lie to her?

“Honey, don't cry!" Matthew kept kissing her forehead, trying to soothe her.

With glistening eyes, Erica pushed him away, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Matthew, how could you use condoms behind my back? You're a liar!"

“Rika, I can explain—"

"No! What is there to explain? My baby...and my twelve billion dollars..." Everything had been in vain.

Matthew didn't know whether to Laugh or cry when he heard what she said. He pushed his Lust down inside him and buried it. After he'd regained a modicum of control, he put the quilt over her and said,

“Don't get cold."

However, Erica whipped the quilt away, put on her pajamas and sat on the edge of the bed, crying sadly. Despair writhed inside of her.

She was sad as her twelve billion and five sons were saying bye-bye to her.

Soon, the other members of the Leonard family had heard her sobs.

Wesley knocked at the door first.

"Matthew? Rika? You in there?"

Erica immediately ran to open the door in bare feet this time.

Wesley and Blair stood in the hallway outside the door. Erica hugged her father and complained, “Dad, this is hopeless. Why can't I just die now?"

“Why are you crying?" Confused, Wesley held his daughter in his arms and patted her back to comfort her.

After tidying his pajamas, Matthew followed her outside and stopped beside her.

Sobbing, Erica answered, “Dad, Matthew bullied me. It's true." She was afraid that Wesley wouldn't believe her, so she emphasized that Matthew really did it this time.
