She was indeed different, which made her more adorable.
Since she was really hungry in actuality, she enjoyed all the food on the table as soon as she managed to put aside the memory of Last night.
She even ate more than she expected.
Two days later, Erica called Kelvin about the lawsuit.
"Kelvin, how's the case going? Is it still held off?"
"Yes. I just asked them today. The hearing has been postponed." Their first hearing was supposed to be next Monday, but since the case was held off, it was moved to a different day. Kelvin was very worried that things wouldn't go smoothly.
The bad news angered Erica a little. ‘Matthew is really challenging me!' she thought.
"I'll call Matthew," she said. The hearing must go on as scheduled on Monday.
"Oh, okay." Kelvin was actually curious about what happened between
Matthew and Erica. As far as he knew, it was Matthew who asked Erica to represent him in the Lawsuit. But all of a sudden, he was holding it off right now.
After hanging up, Erica immediately sent a message to Matthew. As much as she wanted to call him, she couldn't dare to confront him over the phone.
Matthew was in the middle of a meeting when he received the message from Erica. It was actually a threat.
He read it silently.
"If the trial won't happen on Monday, I will run away with your sons, Matthew!"
His eyes darkened in an instant. Now he had proven how stubborn she was. He had been waiting for her to come to him for help, but she never did. Instead, she was threatening him now.
She must be out of her mind thinking about running away.
“If you run away, I will find you at all costs and lock you at home forever," he replied.
He thought that she would be frightened to be locked at home for life.
Erica was pissed by his reply, but she tried a different approach.
"I have already decided to sue Phoebe, and I don't have any plan of backing out. Is there any way that the trial can push through?"
“Of course. It all depends on you."
For the sake of the lawsuit, she decided to give in, so she asked,
“What do you want me to do?" He didn't want to tell her what he really wanted, so he replied, "Think about it yourself." He just wanted her to realize that he was the only one whom she should seek help from. She should not ask for help from any other man.
But what he said baffled Erica. As usual, he didn't make himself clear.
She would be the one to rack her brain again. ‘Is he out of his mind?
