Chapter 1272 A Slap In The Face

When he heard what Matthew said, Harmon was confused. He looked at the sky. It was an overcast autumn day, and the wind was chilly. How could it be hot?

Owen thought for a bit and asked, "Mr. Huo, would you like to go for a walk?"

"I just got off work. I'm beat," Matthew replied indifferently.

It meant that he didn't want to take a walk now.

Owen rolled his eyes secretly and thought to himself, 'Mr. Huo, that's your wife. You can go inside and check on her if you want! Why do you have to pretend?' "Look, Mr. Huo! There's a cafe nearby! And they're running a special. Buy one cup of coffee, and get a second one free. How about you and Mr. Lu get something to drink there?" Owen suggested, knowing what was on his boss' mind.

Harmon sneered when he heard that. 'You gotta be kidding me. You think Matthew cares about a free cup of coffee? Try harder, man!'

Out of the blue, Matthew answered, "Good idea!"

Harmon was shocked and couldn't believe his ears. His smile froze on his face. Since when did Matthew care so much about the price of a cup of coffee? Had marriage changed him so much?

Harmon and Matthew entered the cafe together. And Harmon quickly figured out why Matthew was so interested in this cafe. It had everything to do with certain patrons, sitting at the table in front of the French window. 'I knew it! Why would he care about a free cup of coffee? He doesn't. It looks like his wife is here, drinking coffee with another guy.'

He smiled and followed Matthew to a table next to Erica's.

With her back to them, Erica didn't see Matthew enter the cafe.

Watkins didn't seem to notice Matthew either. He was asking Erica what she wanted to drink.

Harmon had just concluded his business with Matthew, and decided to take a break. And what better way to spend his free time than having a cup of coffee with the jealous man? All he had to do now was sit back and watch the show.

Erica was here to hammer things out with Watkins, so she didn't really care what she had to drink. She finally decided on a latte, just so they could get to the things she really wanted to talk about.

After the waitress left, she cut right to the chase. "What did Mr. Wang do when he was young?"

"I don't know much about that. I didn't have anyone look into him. If I'd thought about it more, I would have. If we knew more, we'd

es I did nothing wrong, why did he ask me to give him a child as compensation? If he believes me, then I don't have to get pregnant so soon.'

Watkins smiled helplessly and smoothed his short hair. After a tense moment, he replied, "Mr. Huo, I'm happy that you trust Erica." He looked at Erica, and said, "You should finish your coffee. Don't let it go to waste!"

The waitress had already brought the two cups of coffee they ordered, but they hadn't had a sip yet.

"The bill's on me. Mr. Chai, you can leave now," Matthew said in a cold voice.

If it were possible, things got even more intense. Erica tugged at the man's sleeve and said in a small voice, "Matthew, don't be like that. We're just having coffee." He was so jealous and possessive that sometimes she felt she couldn't breathe.

When he saw Erica with Hyatt, he had no problem. But every time he saw her with Watkins, he would get jealous.

She didn't know why Matthew hated Watkins so much.

Matthew didn't give in. He tightened his arm around Erica's waist. "You want coffee? I can do that! Hell, I'll buy the cafe for you!" 'But you can't have coffee with another guy! Especially Watkins!' He didn't say that part out loud.

"Coffee is not the point. The point is that Watkins and I are just friends. Don't friends usually go out for coffee?" Erica asked in frustration.

'Doesn't he have any female friends? Wouldn't he go out to dinner with them?' She wouldn't believe it if he said he had no female friends.

After all, every rich man was surrounded by women of all shapes and sizes.
