Chapter 1383 Trending Hashtags
Sitting across from her, Matthew had a clear view of what Erica was doing and did nothing to stop her.
On the contrary, he just quietly observed as she washed the bowl and chopsticks she had used.
After a while, he suddenly asked, "When did you learn that?"
"Learn what?" Confused, Erica took a cloth and wiped the water she identally sshed near the
sink.
"Washing the dishes." Before she left him, she wouldn''t even get near the dishes, let alone wash them.
Erica thought about it for a moment before answering casually, "Well, Tessie couldn''t handle everything
on her own, especially after the children were born. So I had to help her, right? I learned a lot while I
was away."
At that time, she soon realized that she wasn''t really unable to do the housework. Given no other
choice, she had to learn how to get by on her own, and so she did.
No matter how foolish she was, she could do some simple housework without any maids at her
disposal.
Once she finished cleaning up the kitchen, Erica turned off the lights and stretched out her hand to the
man who was still at the table. "Let''s go upstairs and have some sleep!"
Matthew looked at her hand. It used to be so smooth, but now it had some calluses that weren''t there
before.
He met her eyes again and couldn''t help getting a little angry. In a cold voice, he said, "Erica Li!"
"What?" Picking up on his anger, Erica was confused. Why did he suddenly get so mad to the point of
calling her by her full name?
Rudely, he grabbed her hand and raised it to her eye level. "Look at your hand. It wasn''t like this when
you left me. Look at those calluses! I demand that you take care of your hands and have them healed
in a month!"
Erica rubbed her hands together. She didn''t notice that indeed they were covered with calluses until
now.
"Even if I don''t do the housework, I still have to use my camera," she answered dully. She couldn''t get
rid of her camera. She took pictures almost every day with it.
"Then don''t take any pictures for the time being! And don''t do any housework! Not until you get your
smooth hands back!" he ordered.
For Erica, his overbearing behavior was a sign of the love he had for her.
So holding his neck, she coaxed him, "Okay, I''ll do as you say. But don''t be angry! It''s just that the living
conditions in Tow Vige are not that good. I''ll be fine now that I''m home."
"Since you are aware of the poor living conditions in Tow Vige, why did you lie to those women and
told them to drink the magic water from the river there?" he asked. It seemed that his wife was getting
more and more naughty.
"What? How do you know about this? Were you eavesdropping?" Erica smiled awkwardly before
burying her face on his shoulder.
Matthew sighed inwardly and shook his head, realizing that her facial cream would leave a stain on his
clothes again. Nevertheless, her words still amused him. "Almost everyone at the party knew about it.
How could I not?"
Erica had underestimated her influence. ording to Matthew''s estimates, many women must have
already booked air tickets to K Country by now.
"Oh, some of the guests at the party were good friends with Camille and Phoebe. I just wanted to make
fun of them. Who knew they would be so stupid to believe my tale of the magic water?" Erica was
shocked to learn that people really bought into her nonsense and even booked air tickets to K Country.
Helplessly, Matthew stood up and grabbed her hand, leading her upstairs. "This will be good to teach
them a lesson, so they won''t rely on every word you say in the future!"
Holding his arm, Erica wanted to prove her loyalty to him. "Matthew, you have to trust that I won''t lie to
you!"
He didn''t say anything. Based on her IQ, he knew that she couldn''t deceive him anyway.
When they got to the bedroom, Erica immediately turned to the bathroom to wash her face and brush
her teeth. While she rubbed the cleanser on her face, she kept chatting with the man in the next room,
"You tore my dress. You must make up for it!"
She really didn''t understand Matthew. Why did he have to tear her clothes before making love to her? It
was sad to see such a beautiful dress being so easily turned into rags.
"Okay." He was willing to buy her ten dresses if she thought it would make up for the other one.
She turned on the tap and washed the cleanser away from her face. Looking at herself in the mirror, so
fair and clean, she was quite pleased with the result.
The next day, Erica was still asleep when she turned up in the top list of all the search engines on the
Inte.
Chantel didn''t waste any time when she decided to call Erica to make fun of her.
"You''ve barely returned to Y City, but you''re already the hottest topic on the Inte! You didn''t see it
yet, did you?"
"Why am I on the Inte? I was sleeping." Erica yawned.
Suddenly remembering where she was, Erica stretched out her free hand and felt the hard chest of the
man lying beside her.
She smiled and moved closer into his arms as she continued to talk to Chantel over the phone.
Chantel chuckled. "The paparazzi took pictures of Noreen''s swollen face after she was stung by the
bees, and then they said it was your doing. ording to the press, Noreen had been trying to get her
ws into Mr. Huo and be his mistress to promote herself. But then, you, Mrs. Huo, decided to
teach her a lesson."
Moreover, the photos of Noreen falling to the floor at the party were also all over the Inte.
Despite Noreen''s efforts and money to have all thetest news rted to her removed from the
websites, it was toote. People had already reposted andmented on the news. She had spent
millions of dors and yet, it didn''t have much effect.
Only then did Erica realize that she might be in trouble.
Her eyes red open, and then she looked at the man apparently still asleep on her side. She poked
him in the chest, but there was no response.
Sitting up in the bed, she whispered, "Then I''m in great trouble, aren''t I?"
"What are you worrying about? It was Noreen who was trying to be Mr. Huo''s mistress. She''s the
one in a tight spot. Ites as no surprise that you, as Mr. Huo''s legal wife, would want to teach her a
lesson!"
"Oh, that''s good to hear. I''ll check it out online and read thements," said Erica.
"By the way, I took a flight from Y City to M Country. I''ll be there for half a month. Take care of... You
know what? Never mind. I''m relieved now that you''re with Mr. Huo." Chantel had be used to
reminding Erica to take care of herself, but now that she was back with Matthew, she didn''t need to do
it any longer.
"Got it." Erica yawned again. "Then take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything."
"Okay, bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Ericay back down in the bed. As soon as her head hit the pillow, she felt
the weight of a heavy arm on her waist.
She quietly nced back at Matthew and found that he still had his eyes closed. Unconcerned, she
opened Weibo and began to browse the news of the day.

''Wait! It''s already eight o''clock. Why is Matthew still asleep? He would always get up at five or six at the
Has he developed the habit of sleepingte in the past few years?'' she thought.
Before Erica could think it further, however, the word "hot" disyed on the screen and quickly grabbed
her interest.
The topic "Mrs. Huo Came Back With Her Four Sons" was followed by the word "hot" all in red.
Below she found the topic named "Erica and Noreen" also followed by the word "hot."
And although this time the word "hot" didn''t follow it, the topic "Erica and Lucia" could also be found on
the list of the hottest news.
A reporter had also photographed Erica in her red evening dress on the ship.
Erica was d to see that the photo had been filtered before it was posted. That woman in the photo
looked much more attractive than she was in real life. Once she realized this, she hid beneath the quilt
and snickered.
