Chapter 1241 Causing Drama


    At Li family residence


    Knowing there was no way out, Erica slowly entered the dwelling. Several bodyguards stood at the


    door and greeted her in unison, "Mrs. Huo!"


    She forced a smile. "Hello!"


    In the living room


    ir and Matthew were the only ones there.


    Matthew sat there in his usual calm and domineering manner, while ir paced back and forth in the


    living room.


    As soon as Erica came in, ir rushed up to her and roared, "Erica Li, why are you causing drama


    again? You think things were going too well?"


    For thest several years, ir had been an elegant, nobledy of the Li family. But around someone


    like Erica, she lost all her elegance. At this moment, she was just an old mom, worried about her


    youngest daughter and all the trouble she could cause.


    Erica quietly stole a nce at the man on the sofa. He just stared at the painting hung on the wall, as if


    he hadn''t seen her.


    Erica put a finger in her ear, as if she could clear the ringing that way. "Mom..." she said. ''I know I was


    wrong, okay?''


    After rolling his eyes at his daughter, Wesley pulled ir aside and whispered in her ear.


    The angry mother''s eyes widened in shock.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Erica was uneasy about the way her mother red at her. Turned out she was right. ir reached up


    and grabbed her ear. "You know this means I need to teach you a lesson, right?" Erica had been


    married to Matthew for a while now, but they never consummated their marriage. And it was probably


    Erica''s fault. It was so ridiculous! ir just couldn''t believe it.


    "Cut it out, Mom. That hurts..." Erica covered her throbbing red ear with a whine, feeling resentful.


    It was not that she didn''t want to sleep with Matthew. She was afraid. What was she supposed to do?


    The man sitting on the sofa finally spoke up. He walked up to the mother and daughter and said


    carefully, "I''m just happy Erica''s back here safe and sound. Everything else is my problem. I''ll have a


    talk with her."


    ir wasn''t about to let her off the hook. "Quit defending her, Matthew. It''s my fault she turned out like


    this. I should be the one to teach her a lesson!" She had let it slide too long. Erica had gotten away with


    a lot when she was still living at home. But she was all grown up and married. Her daughter never lost


    that stubborn streak.


    The girl''s eyes started tearing up. Matthew came over and held her hand. "Mom, let me handle this,


    okay? I need to talk to my wife!"


    Since he asked her, ir had to relent. It was his business. She sighed heavily and said, "Matthew, I


    have something to say to Rika alone. Can you and Wesley wait downstairs for a bit?"


    "Okay." Matthew nodded.


    Erica immediately hid behind him, covered her burning ear with one hand, and pouted, "This is not


    cool. Mom will twist my ear off."


    ir red at her. "Ohe on. You know I don''t like violence. As long as you follow me upstairs, I


    won''t hurt you."


    Matthew patted the girl''s hand tofort her and said, "Just go upstairs, honey. I''ll wait for you here."


    Since he thought it would be okay, Erica reluctantly followed her mother upstairs.


    Inside Erica''s bedroom


    ir closed the door and asked, "Rika, how long have you been married to Matthew?"


    ''Where did thate from?'' Erica wondered. "About three months."


    "Why haven''t you slept with him yet?" ir asked straightforwardly. She was hoping for a grandchild


    soon.


    The young girl bit her lower lip and said angrily, "How did you know? Did Matthewin to you


    about this?"


    "Do you think Matthew would say anything?" It was Wesley who had just told her.


    ''That''s right. Matthew''s not like that, '' Erica thought. The anger in the girl''s eyes was reced by


    confusion. "Then how did you know?"


    ir rolled her eyes at her. "That''s not the point. Tell me, why don''t you want to make love to Matthew?


    I''m pretty sure he wants to."


    It was the twenty-first century now. ir had thought her daughter would know what to do even if she


    didn''t give her "the talk." Besides, back when Erica got married to Matthew, ir thought she''d already


    had sex. But surprise, surprise! Erica was still a virgin! She didn''t know anything about sex.


    ''Wow! My silly daughter!''


    "He does..." Sitting on the sofa, Erica held her chin gloomily.


    "Okay, so what''s the problem?"


    Erica fell silent. She had nned to discuss this with Rhea. But since ir had already asked, she


    knew that her mother wouldn''t stop until she had an answer. She exined simply, "Well...it''s just that


    I''m a little scared."


    "Scared? Of what? Are you afraid of Matthew?" Matthew could wilt grown men with a look. Other


    people were afraid of him, but that wasn''t Erica.


    "No, I''m not afraid of him. Mom...it''s just... Okay, fine. I promise we''ll start trying to make a kid." Erica


    stood up from the sofa and walked towards the door. She encouraged herself inwardly, ''Come on, Rika.


    It''s just sex. I won''t die from it, right? It''s no big deal!''


    ir pulled her back. "Rika, listen to me..."


    The girl pouted and gave her mother a look. There was meaning at that look. She was restless and


    unhappy. "I get it, Mom. You want a grandkid. Well, I''m granting you your wish."


    "Okay, but I want to tell you... Although it is really super-awkward the first time... Ahem!" ir felt a little


    embarrassed. She coughed and continued, "It''ll get better after that. Don''t be afraid."


    Erica and ir never talked about sex. It just wasn''t something that came up. For a moment, Erica was


    a little shy too, so she stopped her with, "I know, Mom! I know!"


    "I hope you do! Look, this is a win-win situation. Matthew should rx more. That guy is a cold one!


    Maybe being more loving would loosen him up. A happier husband means a happier wife. And I want


    grandkids! So just do whates naturally. Don''t bring other people''s babies back here, either! I want


    a grandkid who will stick around a while." ir didn''t want to raise other people''s kids anymore. She


    was so sad when the Wu family took Ethan away.


    ''Sounds like she wants me to ask Matthew?'' Erica nodded absentmindedly, "I''ll do my best." But she


    didn''t really know how to tell Matthew she wanted to make love.


    Ten minutester, the mother and daughter went downstairs. Wesley and Matthew were sitting and


    chattering in the living room. They seemed to be having a good time.


    Seeing that Erica went downstairs, Matthew stood up from his seat and walked towards her. "I''m going


    back to Y City. You want to stay here or go with me?"


    Erica was going to say she would stay put for a few days. But she looked at her dad''s face, and


    decided to change her answer. It didn''t look like Wesley really wanted her around. "I''ll go with you," she


    said finally.


    "Why are you in such a hurry?" ir asked, a bit surprised. "Matthew, how about you leave tomorrow?


    I''ll cook for you tonight." She was hoping to introduce Chantel to Erica. She knew Chantel wouldn''t be


    back till evening. If Erica left now, she couldn''t get the two together.


    "Sorry Mom," Matthew said. "I''ll bring Rika by soon, don''t worry. But I have something I need to deal


    with tonight. So I have to go."


    ir didn''t insist. The old couple escorted the young couple to the door.


    Wesley told Erica again and again, "If this happens again, I''ll punish you within an inch of your life!"


    Erica stuck out her tongue and said, "Got it, Dad."


    ir added, "Matthew is a great guy. Other guys would probably not have waited so long and forced


    the issue. Don''t be so ungrateful."


    Erica nced at the man who was walking silently next to her. Why didn''t he put in a good word for her


    this time?
