Chapter 1389 Shopping
Matthew was just downstairs patiently waiting for the kids toe down for breakfast. As soon as the
sound of their collective footsteps was heard, several maids immediately ran into the dining room with
breakfast.
Adkins was the first to greet him. "Good morning, Dad!"
Boswell climbed onto the chair opposite to Matthew and sat down. "Good morning, Dad!"
Colman moved his chair next to his dad and said with a smile, "Daddy, I want to sit with you!" He
wanted to sit next to his father because he was quite fond of him.
Every time Matthew looked at Colman, he could see Erica on him. His facial expression softened and
he gently said, "Sure."
Carrying an Ultraman toy in his hand, Damian walked to the other side of his dad and mumbled in a low
voice. "Dad, I want to sit with you too."
"Sure." Matthew smiled.
Damian seemed quite satisfied to be greeted with a smile and he smiled back sweetly as he sat down
next to Matthew.
Shortly after, they began eating breakfast merrily. When the boys came back, the four of them would
laugh and talk loudly during meals. Matthew only had to tell them once that it was rude to talk too much
during meals and now they seldom made noise.
After a while, Adkins wiped his mouth with a napkin and looked at Matthew, who had already finished
breakfast and was waiting for them. "Dad, will you drive us to school today?"
On most days, just as long as he was not too busy in the morning, Matthew would drive them to school
before going to thepany.
If he was too busy or he had to go out of town on a business trip, Carlos and Debbie would take them
to school and pick them up after as well. At the very least, Sheffield, Joshua or any other family
members would do the job. In any case, Matthew wouldn''t trust anyone else with the responsibility of
his sons.
"Yes. I''ll pick you up after school too."
In fact, Matthew had no real ns of going to thepany today, so he decided it would be the perfect
day to drop them off at school and pick them upter in the afternoon.
While chewing thest mouthful of bread, Colman asked, "Dad, can youe to pick us up with
Mom?" They had been going to school for a while now, but they had never been picked up by their
parents at the same time.
ncing at him, Matthew reprimanded the boy, "Didn''t I tell you not to speak with your mouth full?"
However, the jovial boy didn''t feel annoyed by his dad''s scolding at all. He simply made a face at him
before continuing to chew the food in his mouth.
When the room was quiet again, Matthew told his sons, "I will see if your mom cane with me as
well."
Needless to say, his words gave the kids enough excitement as they grinned from ear to ear.
Just as he had said, Matthew drove the four boys to school. When he returned to the vi, he received
a message from Erica. "Honey, are you at thepany?"
''Why is she asking me this? I have a feeling she''s up to something again, '' he thought. "What''s up?" he
replied nonchntly.
"No, I was just wondering what you were doing." ''I just want to know if he''s gone to work so I can go
out and take some photographs, '' she thought to herself.
"Hmm." Matthew''s response was aimed at herst message.
However, Erica mistook his answer as a response to her first question. As such, she cheerfully
assumed that he had gone to thepany.

Much to her surprise, when Erica finished her breakfast and was happily heading out with her camera,
she bumped into Matthew who wasing in from outside.
The camera hanging on her neck was an obvious indication of her intentions. Unfortunately, it was too
big for her to hide it quickly.
The man squinted his eyes at her and said, "Where do you think you''re going?"
"Well..." Embarrassed, she quickly changed the topic and said, "Weren''t you at thepany? What are
you doing back here all of a sudden? Did you forget to bring a file with you?"
"No." Matthew casually nced at his watch and said, "Put the camera back." ''You got up very early
today.''
The woman sighed silently and raised her hands in front of him. "I didn''t do the housework. I''ll buy
some skincare products for my handster and I promise I''ll go to the beauty salon more often in the
future until the calluses on my hands disappear. Please don''t stop me from going out to shoot pictures,
okay?"
That morning, Erica deliberately gave up the chance to sleep in, just so she could sneak out to take
photos. She wasn''t expecting to get caught red-handed like that.
"I''ll go with you."
"What?"
Half an hourter, the couple arrived at Shining International za.
Their sudden and unexpected appearance made all the staff in the shopping mall panic. This time,
Matthew was here as well. They didn''t know if he was here for an inspection or just a casual fun time
with his beloved wife.
At first, he took Erica to one of the most posh clothing stores in the mall. The person who was in charge
of the floor, the manager, as well as two seeminglypetent saledies walked over to serve them in
person.
Erica fell into contemtion, wondering if this was the actual first time Matthew had taken her
shopping.
Yesterday, Matthew had asked someone to prepare a few gift bags in advance and asked her to pick
out the gifts for the family in the VIP room upstairs. However, Erica didn''t consider that to be shopping
at all.
Erica brushed her eyes over the wide array of designer dresses and paused to think for a while. Then
she turned around and snickered at the man who was staring at her. Despite of the man''s look of
confusion, Erica decisively asked one of the saledies to bring her more dresses of different colors to
try on.
Matthew couldn''t tell what she was up to for some time, so he decided to wait for her in the VIP area.
A few minutester, she walked out in a dress and a pair of high-heeled shoes that the saledy had
matched for her.
The upper part of the dress was off-shoulder, yellow and white knitted sweater with vertical stripes. It
was connected to a ck half skirt with a slit on the side. The high-heeled shoes on her feet were
ck. All of a sudden, it seemed as though she had transformed into apletely different person.
She turned around to face the mirror and seemed to be quite satisfied, with a particrly bright smile
dancing about on her face.
However, Matthew looked at the side of the dress and frowned. The slit on the side went above her
knees, and her fair thigh was partly visible with her every move.
The off-shoulder sweater made her skin looked fairer. If it weren''t for the slit in the lower part of the
dress, he might have been more epting of this dress.
The man simply turned her down without hesitation. "Go and change into something else."
"Okay!" Completely disregarding the man''s frown, Erica told the saledy as she walked, "Please set
this one aside. I''m taking this one."
"Yes, Mrs. Huo."
Matthew refuted, "No need to pack it. Just try something else."
Erica stopped and looked back at the man in confusion. "What''s wrong?" She twirled, slowly bringing
her slender arms on her slim waist while her sheer dress flowed in the breeze, twisting around her
body. "Honey, don''t you like it?"
His deep eyes fell on her corbones first, and then on her slim waist...
Erica immediately noticed the familiar look of desire in his eyes. Her heart skipped a beat, and her face
turned red. She muttered to herself, ''Damn it. This bad man thinks about sex all day long.''
He stood up from the sofa, put his hands in his pockets and walked to her side. With a serious
expression, he said, "You can buy it if you want. But, don''t wear it outside!"
"What? Why?"
"It''s not a suitable look for you." She looked young, just like a teenager who was under age. When she
wore those mature clothes, it was as if a child had stolen an adult''s clothes.
