Chapter 1150 Carry Me


    Erica was starting to experience a sudden qualm of regret as she brought another piece of cantaloupe


    to Matthew''s mouth. Although it was toote to go back on her word, she gave it onest try. "Finish


    the rest of this and I promise I''ll deliver all the kisses together!"


    But Matthew wasn''t that easy to fool. "Do I look like an idiot to you?"


    Even Erica knew he wasn''t. The man was sharp as a tack! Having run out of options, Erica leaned over


    to him and sheepishly pecked him twice on the lips.


    Matthew smiled before he dropped another piece into his mouth, and just like that he cleaned up the


    rest. Erica gave him thest two kisses after thest bite, but when she was about to leave, he stopped


    her. He took the te from her hand, pulled her into his arms and kissed her with raw intensity.


    Erica relented as he yed with her hair and held her tighter and tighter. She melted like a candle into


    his arms, wondering if he had her trapped.


    The man was unable to control his urges anymore; his hands working their way around her body,


    feeling each line along her perfect physique. Panic-stricken, Erica bit his lips and sunk her nails into his


    arms.


    Frowning, he released her and they pulled apart, both gasping for air.


    Erica looked at him with furrowed eyebrows and said, "You...You''re cheating!" Not only did Matthew


    tantly disregard their agreement, but he was looking to get more. Erica could feel her cheeks


    blushing a deep crimson.


    Sitting cross-legged and leaning his back to the chair, Matthew regained hisposure and said, "Rest


    assured. Although we''re married, I''ll respect your boundaries and try my best to control myself."


    ''Control himself?'' Erica was puzzled by his behavior. ''Didn''t he just say he wasn''t interested in me two


    days ago? What''s with the sudden change of mind?


    Is he really not interested in me or is he justforting me with the excuse of "respecting my


    boundaries"?''


    Nheless, she decided to be more careful of his tricks in the future.


    "Go and wash the dishes!" The man''s voice brought her back to reality instantly.


    Erica took the empty te and bowl from the table, walked into the kitchen, and put them in the sink


    carelessly. She rolled up her sleeves, ready to do the dishes. However, as she stared at the mess in


    front of her, she fell into deep thought.


    Erica had no idea where to even begin.


    ''Think, Erica Li. Come on, you can do this!'' she cheered herself.


    Then, she squeezed some of the cleaner into the pot, picked up the brush and prepared to start the


    work.


    However... "What are you doing?" Suddenly, Matthew''s deep voice came from behind.


    She turned around and winked at him. "Can''t you see? I''m washing the dishes." ''Is he blind or what?


    Can''t he see the sink?'' she mused.


    Matthew walked up to the kitchen counter and when he saw therge pool of detergent, he frowned. "If


    I didn''t know you better, I would have thought that you were rted to some detergent salesperson," he


    said.


    "Huh?"


    "Who uses that much detergent?" Matthew had a feeling that she was going to have difficulty washing


    the dishes. To say that she was having difficulty would be an understatement because she had used


    over one-third of the detergent from the bottle.


    Erica smiled awkwardly. "Um, I will wash it off."


    After giving her a disdainful look, Matthew walked up to her and pushed her aside. Then he rolled up


    his sleeves. "Watch and learn! Stand a bit farther away so that your clothes won''t get wet."


    "Oh, but I feel so embarrassed to make you wash the dishes after you cooked for me!" Not only did the


    man have to cook noodles for her, but he also had to do the dishes!


    Casting a cold nce at her, Matthew shifted his eyes from her and started washing without another


    word.


    Erica stood aside, obediently watching him. She was thoroughly impressed by the way he handled the


    mess—quick and efficiently.


    After he had cleaned up the kitchen, Erica sat on the sofa in the living room and turned on the TV to


    watch a horror movie.


    Matthew washed his hands and came over to her. "Go watch it in the home theater room," he said.


    "No! I don''t think I''ll be able to watch it in there! This will do just fine!" She shed him an awkward


    smile, sheepishly shrugging her shoulders.


    In truth, she did wonder what it would be like to watch a horror movie by herself in the home theater


    room, but she didn''t have the gumption for it.


    But when she looked at the man standing in front of her, Erica''s eyes lit up. "Do you have something to


    doter?"


    "Why?" he asked warily.


    Erica turned off the TV without hesitation and snickered. "Why don''t you watch the movie in the home


    theater room with me?"


    "No way!" he refused immediately.


    "Why must you be so difficult? When I was watching TV here, you insisted I go to the home theater


    room. But then why won''t you join me if you''ve got nothing else to do? I''m going to call your dad now!


    I''ll tell him that you''re being rude to me!"


    Erica felt proud of herself as she cocked her head to one side and jiggled her head cheekily. She


    decided that she wouldn''t tell on him to Wesley in the future, because her father would surely be on


    Matthew''s side.


    Instead, she could just go to Carlos or Debbie as they would surely take her side!


    She giggled, excited by this revtion.


    Matthew''s face darkened and he asked, "What else are you good at besides telling on me?"


    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    With her arms crossed over her chest, Erica answered proudly, "Hey, you have to admit that it works


    like a charm every time. Right?"


    The man was starting to feel frustrated. "Hurry up if you want to go to the theater room. Don''t talk so


    much nonsense!"


    "I''m so full I can''t walk. Can you carry me on your back?"


    "I''m warning you! You don''t want to cross me!"


    Almost immediately, Erica took out her cellphone from his pocket and shook it in front of him. "I''m


    warning you! Don''t be so mean!"


    Too angry to utter a single word, Matthew raised his hand and Erica''s face paled with fright. ''Is he really


    going to hit me?'' she thought. "You wouldn''t dare, Matthew Xit*!"


    (*TN: Xit is a Chinese surname of the Man ethnic minority. In the Chinese historical drama Story of


    Yanxi Pce, there is a vicious character whose surname is Xit. Here, Erica refers to Matthew Huo


    as Matthew Xit to imply that he is being mean to her.)


    Needless to say, he was, indeed, just bluffing. He would nevery a hand on her.


    "Xit?" Matthew recognized the name Xit, but he didn''t know why Erica would refer to him with


    that.


    Upon noticing his confusion, Erica assumed that he had never watched a historical drama before.


    With a bubbly smile on her face, she said, "Carry me on your back and I''ll tell you!"


    Matthew withdrew his hand and turned around. "If you can''t climb onto my back in three seconds, I''ll..."


    "Done! Let''s go!" Erica jumped onto his back in less than two seconds.


    Matthew fell silent. Something was telling him that he had just been yed by this woman.


    When she realized that he was walking towards the stairs, she asked, "Why don''t you take the


    elevator? You should know that I''m quite heavy. You''ll get tired."


    Erica thought he was going to take the elevator because the home theater room was on the fourth floor.


    "Did you just realize that you are very heavy?"


    She squinted her eyes at him, annoyed, but since she couldn''t hit him, she murmured, "I''m not that


    heavy."


    Matthew fell silent again. In truth, she wasn''t really very heavy.


    On the way, Erica tightened her arms around his shoulders as she feared that he would y pranks on


    her or drop her on the floor.


    When they were turning a corner, Erica asked, "Have you ever carried her on your back before?"


    "One more word out of you and I''ll throw you down from here," he threatened.


    Erica pursed her lips immediately.


    Two minutester, Matthew pushed open the door to arge room, fully equipped with state of the art


    sound systems, a few La-Z-Boy reclining sofas and a 120-inch projector screen. He threw her onto one


    of the recliners and said, "Wait here."


    "Okeydokey!"


    Having gotten what she wanted, she dly made herselffortable and watched him set the


    projector for her.


    A few minutester, the horror movie "The Unborn Child" began ying on the projector, and Matthew


    turned off all the lights before slowly sitting down on a recliner next to her.


    While watching the trailer, Erica felt shiver through her body, which had never happened before when


    she watched a horror movie. This one was much more terrifying than the ones she had watched


    before. Trembling like a leaf, she stuttered, "Umm, Matthew..." He responded without turning his head,


    "Yes?"


    "Could you move a little closer?"
