Watkins shook his head and replied, "Don't blame yourself, Erica. You should go back home now."

She nodded.

"Rest well. I'll visit you again some other day." She needed to talk to Matthew about this.

“Okay. Take care.”

“Bye.”

Paige had intended to send Erica back to the villa, but the latter insisted on seeing Matthew, so they went straight to the company instead.

Only five minutes had passed since they left the hospital when Erica's phone rang. It was Watkins.

She immediately answered it.

"Hello? What's up?"

“Erica, I just want to say don't fight with Matthew because of me.

After all, you are pregnant now. It's not good for you. This is all my fault. I just thought he doesn't Love you, so I pluck up the courage to send you those roses. I have forgotten the fact that you are his wife.

Whether he loves you or not, it's normal for him to get jealous when other men send you flowers."

His words stung her heart. Was it true that Matthew didn't love her?

She fell silent.

He continued, “Matthew has always been domineering and cruel. Everyone in the business world knows that. I should be grateful that he has not taken my life this time. Erica, I'm just an outsider. Don't care so much about me. What's important is, he is treating you well. If you will still be together in the future, just be careful not to annoy him, okay?"

However, Watkins was not an outsider for her.

“Watkins, you are not an outsider. You are my friend. And what he has done to you is definitely wrong." She had nothing to be afraid of. Nothing was going on between her and Watkins, except for being friends. Watkins might be wrong for sending her flowers because he thought that Matthew didn't love her.

But Matthew went too far this time.

However, she also couldn't agree with Watkins on one thing. She believed that Matthew couldn't afford to hurt her no matter how much she'd annoy him. She had already offended him countless times, but he had always been forgiving.

“Watkins, Matthew is always good to me.

Although he is weird sometimes, he has never hurt me. I know he won't ever use violence on me, just like what he did to you. But again, I don't Like the way he treated you."

Indeed, Matthew had been spoiling her all the time ever since they got married. She never had any problems with him except for the recent conflicts that happened between them.

Watkins immediately apologized and said with concern, "I'm sorry,

Erica. I'm just overthinking. Take care of yourself and your baby.”

“Thank you. Bye!"
