After waiting for a long while, Matthew began to Look her up and down.

“You okay? Did one of the pandas hurt you?"

She shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks, and answered him in a choked voice, "No... Matthew, how Long have you had these pandas?"

“Almost six years." The pandas had been adopted by him the day they were born.

The woman wiped her tears messily.

“Their names... Did you give them those names from the beginning?"

"Yes," he nodded. ‘Did she... figure it out?’ he thought.

Seeing him nod, Erica leaned in his arms and burst into tears, her sobs racking both their bodies.

Matthew couldn't think of anything more to say.

Even the driver was worried about her. He summoned up his courage and asked his boss, "Matthew, what happened to Erica? Is she hurt?"

Rubbing the woman's head, Matthew said, “No. It's okay. Let me handle this." ‘Those seem to be tears of joy, ' he thought.

"Okay. Very good, sir!"

Lulled by Matthew's gentle words, Erica stopped crying. She raised her head and asked the man in a choked voice, “When your dad asked you to marry me back then, You said no, right? I remember that..."

She was starting to get it. He didn't just love her while they were married.

He'd always Loved her. Or so it seemed. He was smitten with her a long time before their marriage.

When she was still a teenager, angering her father and then running all day to escape him. When she didn't know what love was. He had a crush on her back then.

Matthew took out a tissue and dabbed at the tears on her face. He didn't deny anything, but said gently, “I didn't like the idea of anyone controlling me, so you bet I said no.”

Erica burped. Although she knew it was not good to talk about this kind of thing in the car, home was too far away, and she couldn't wait to know the truth.

"But I once asked you if Phoebe was the goddess in your heart. You said ‘yes'!" That was why she always thought Phoebe was the love of his life.

The man took out another piece of tissue and wiped her nose.

"Do you remember what you asked me? You had two questions. My ‘yes’ was the answer to your second question-is that because your dad doesn't Like

Phoebe?"

As Sheffield said, women liked digging up the past and using it against their boyfriends.

Erica was stunned.

"Why didn't you make that clear?"
