Chapter 1110 Trying On Wedding Dresses
Matthew took a quick look at the wedding dress Erica was randomly pointing at and then fixed his eyes
on her. "You sure that''s the one you want?"
"Yeah, I think so. You don''t like it?" She could try on wedding dresses for a whole day as long as he
didn''t take her to the hospital for the pregnancy checkup!
He shot a nce at the shop manager and then fixed his eyes on the wedding dress in the shop
window. "Bring her that one," he ordered.
"Yes, Mr. Huo."
Robot-like, Erica followed the saleswoman into the fitting room. The first dress she tried on was the one
she randomly selected a few moments ago.
With the saleswoman''s help, Erica donned the dress. There was no mirror in the fitting room, but she
wasn''t really concerned with how it fit anyway. She was focused on how she could get Matthew to
cancel the wedding.
So, she did whatever the saleswoman told her to do. She didn''t realize what the cut of wedding dress
was until she stood in front of the mirror outside the fitting room and saw herself in it.
She turned in front of the full-length mirror and found it was a backless, deep V-neck dress. The
neckline was so low that even her belly was exposed.
For a moment, she didn''t know where to put her hands to cover her body. When she met the man''s
eyes in the mirror by ident, Erica suddenly turned red.
She pretended to be calm and told the two workers who were helping her with the hemlines, "I don''t
like this one. Can we try another?"
One of the shop managers came to her and asked with a smile, "Did I hear right? You don''t like it, Mrs.
Huo? I think it looks great on you!"
Matthew stared at them. To save herself from embarrassment, Erica whispered to the manager, "I''m
not a fan of V-neck and backless outfits. Please find me another."
True, the dress was too revealing for her. But there was another reason. Matthew was staring at her
like she was a piece of meat. That made her feel ufortable.
The shop manager, who had no idea what Erica was getting at, still tried to mollify her. "Mrs. Huo, your
back is so beautiful. And if you''re worrying about not being able to fill out the front, we can add some
padding. No one will ever have to know!"
Erica''s lips twitched. Did the shop manager mean that? That her breasts were too small? And that
crack about her back...Ugh! Erica would have snapped back if it were just her. But today, she couldn''t.
Because Matthew was right there.
She contented herself with simply ring at him. Yes, he was still undressing her with his eyes. So she
lifted the hemline of her dress and made her way to the fitting room, ignoring the manager.

But her dress was so long she identally stepped on the hemline and tripped. "Ah!" Erica screamed
in horror.
A figure rushed over, stepped around the wedding dress and stood in front of her. With her eyes
closed, Erica fell into his arms and instinctively grabbed his suit jacket and held on tight. Finally, she
managed to bring herself to her feet by wrapping her arms around his waist.
But the man had his hands in his pockets and didn''t do much to help.
It looked as if Erica had thrown herself at him.
Well, he didn''t p her or push her away, so that was a good thing.
However, she still had her eyes squeezed shut. She thought, ''Who am I holding now? He smells so
good! It feels soft here, and hard here... Where am I grabbing?''
"Had enough?" a cold voice said. Hearing that, Erica suddenly opened her eyes and looked up. It was
then she realized she was grabbing Matthew.
When she was about to let go of him, she noticed his gaze was fixed on somewhere on her body. She
followed his eyes to figure out where he was looking. "Ah! Matthew Huo, you jerk!"
Erica withdrew her arms and covered her exposed chest with one arm. On impulse, she raised the
other hand, ready to p him.
Her shout snapped the man back to reality. Hiding theplicated look in his eyes, he reacted quickly
and grabbed hold of her hand. "No wonder you need the chest pads. Remember toyer."
She really couldn''t handle this dress.
He let go of her hand, straightened up his clothes, and left the area as if nothing had happened.
''What?'' Looking at his back, Erica was stunned. So, he also thought her breasts were too...small?
Erica was fuming with rage. She wanted to catch up with him and beat him senseless. Maybe she
wouldn''t have to marry him if he knew how violent she could be.
But as she took her first step, she suddenly remembered something Wesley told her.
"Matthew''s no pushover. He has medals, trophies, and ques that he won winning taekwondo
tournaments. Not to mention surviving street fights. I''d think twice if you want to get violent with him!"
Wesley had taught Erica kung fu for self-defense many years ago, but she used it to get into lots of
scraps. She didn''t care if they were bigger than her or not.
When Wesley noticed his daughter wasn''t using her martial skills the right way, he dropped the idea of
teaching her anything more.
Even though Erica learned some skills from her frequent fights at school, she thought she needed to
learn more. She couldn''t fight every day to improve her skill. So, in order to be stronger, she
secretly signed up for sses at a taekwondo Dojang.
The Dojang instructor was strict. And he left bruises if she failed to block one of his blows. As a result,
she ran away in tears after only a single session.
The taekwondo instructor reached out to her many times, but she just blocked his number. In the end,
the instructor had no choice but call the Li family''s phone number.
Unfortunately for Erica, Wesley picked up the phone. That was how the old man figured out that Erica
had signed up for a very expensive taekwondo course with a professional instructor, and it was a one-
on-one lesson. Besides, there was a seven-day trip in Greece as an additional bonus.
It would be fine if Erica had attended the sses regrly. It wasn''t a bad idea for her to learn more
self-defense techniques. Wesley didn''t care about the money, either.
What really made him angry was that she didn''t attend the sses at all. So, when she finished school
that day, Wesley tried to catch her after ss. He nned to drive her to the taekwondo gym and
supervise her practice in person.
Erica was not good at fighting, especially in front of her dad. But she had another advantage—she
knew how to run! Wesley chased her for a long time before he could catch up with her.
Now, still looking at the man''s back, the girl wondered if she should sucker punch him and then run
away. She was confident Matthew couldn''t catch up to her easily.
However... She looked down in dismay at her wedding dress. She couldn''t even get out of the door in
this outfit! ''Forget it!'' she sighed inwardly and discarded the idea.
The pre-wedding photo shoot had been on for three days. Most of them were shot in the studio, and
only two sets were shot outdoors.
Matthew was quite busy, and they only needed a few pre-wedding photos for the wedding ceremony.
So the photo shoot ended in three days.
On the day she was to return home, Matthew arranged his private ne to get her there. A couple of
bodyguards took her to Wesley safely and then returned.
The wedding venue, wedding dresses, gifts and invitation cards were all set up by the Huo family. Erica
had nothing to worry about. She just needed to be the bride on July 7th of the lunar calendar.
On the early morning of the lunar July 6th, Gifford rushed downstairs with Feb in his arms. When she
saw that he ran so fast with the baby in his arms, ir was so scared that her heart almost jumped out.
"Can you slow down? You''re not holding a bomb. It''s a baby!"
Gifford took a deep breath and tried his best to hold the baby securely in his arms. "Mom! Rika, she..."
