The man didn't say anything, which meant yes.

She was suddenly enlightened.

“I told you that I won't eat it again

It's not worth staying mad over, right? My battery's dead, and you won't charge my phone for me. I'm so bored."

Matthew remained unmoved.

Erica became listless in an instant and muttered in a quiet voice, "I missed you day and night when I was in Tow Village. Now I finally can see you every day, but you're just being impossible. Ugh! I can hardly stand to be around you.“ Under the man's cold eyes, she boldly snorted,

“Humph! You are always so cold. I'm your wife, not your enemy! It almost makes me want to run away again!”

“Didn't you say you would be a fool to run away again?" Matthew said flatly.

‘Oh, did I say that? It doesn't matter. I'm a girl. I can change my mind whenever I want!* So, she nodded and said, “So, yeah, I guess I am a fool!"

‘Now I can run away!*

The man was first stunned by her words, and then chuckled. He had never been angry, and now he couldn't pretend to be cold to her, either

He really couldn't do anything about her behavior. He placed her hand gently under the quilt and said in a soft and loving tone, “It's late.

Get some rest. I'll take you home later.”

Seeing the smile on his face, Erica nodded proudly.

"Okay, then you're not mad anymore?" She would have gone to bed if she hadn't considered his feelings.

He bent over and kissed her forehead.

"No. Now go to sleep."

Hearing his promise, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Erica asked Matthew not to tell anyone she'd been in the hospital.

Especially her family, including her four kids. She was okay now, and she didn't want to worry anyone. She cared about them too much to do that.

Late at night, Matthew cautiously carried the sleeping woman to their bed. He laid her down gently, but she woke up. She opened one of her eyes and looked at the man in a daze.

"We're home?"

"Yes. Go to sleep. I need a shower.”

“Okay!"

When he came out of the bathroom after the shower, Erica was sleeping soundly. He tucked her in and then went to the study.
