Erica frowned.

“What are you talking about, Mom?" Her mother was obviously overreacting. She was still the same as before.

Blair snorted, waving her hand.

“Hurry back to Carlos and Debbie.

Besides, we still have Chantel to worry over. You know how your father and I can't take care of two pregnant women at the same time."

“I'm your daughter too, you know!" Erica gritted her teeth. Having no idea why her mother was acting like this, she crossed her arms over her chest and grunted.

Debbie was quick to smooth things over. She stood up and placed her hand on Blair's shoulder.

“It really doesn't matter," she soothed.

“Carlos has plenty of time, so he isn't in a hurry. Plus, Matthew already arranged all his documents before he got here. Carlos and I can stay and take care of Rika and Chantel with you. Hey, you don't want us here, do you?" she said deliberately.

Blair flushed at the implication. She grabbed the woman's hand.

"Of course not! I just didn't want to delay Matthew's work since he's usually so busy."

"I'll be fine, Mom. I have my Laptop," Matthew explained, motioning to his bag.

That was one of the benefits of the Internet. Now, he could work anywhere in the world as long as he had his gadgets close by.

That night, Carlos and Debbie stayed in the Leonard family's house.

In the evening, Matthew went to the study to continue reading all the documents he had brought with him. Blair was in charge of changing the bed sheets. Erica, in the meantime, was lounging on the sofa and playing with her phone.

“Look at Carlos and Debbie,“ Blair admonished.

“They're so good to you. You shouldn't give them any trouble after you get back."

The Hilton family treated Erica as if she were their own daughter.

Blair was more than relieved of this. A part of her had been worried that Erica would be careless and irresponsible when it came to taking care of her husband.

“I know, Mom," Erica replied.

“Matthew is always busy with his work, so you better be more considerate. Since you don't know how to cook, the least you can do is massage his shoulders. If you don't have anything to do, then you could prepare a bath for him or even iron his clothes..."

"Okay." That was simple enough

“When it's time for dinner, you can ask him if he has a dinner he needs to attend to. If he does, Let him go. If he doesn't, then ask him what he wants to eat. Then, you can ask the cook to make it."

"Okay." That was not a problem either.

“You shouldn't bully Matthew. Look at how considerate he is to you! He apologizes to you every time you two have a fight. Let me tell you, if you keep being stubborn, he'll hate you sooner or later. Maybe then he'll find another woman to be his wife."
