True Love Waits

Chapter 1421 I Don't Care About You Anymore

Before going home, Erica sent a message to Matthew in advance. "Honey, I've sent you a package. It

should be delivered to you this afternoon. Could you sign it yourself when it comes?"

"What is it?" 'Why do I need to sign it myself?' Matthew wondered.

Erica smiled full of mystery even though he couldn't see her. "It's a secret! I'll only tell you that I bought

it for you. Now please, spare a few minutes to go downstairs and sign to get it, okay?"

With a helpless sigh, he yielded, "Okay." NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Around four in the afternoon, Matthew received a call. Picking up the phone, he heard a man's voice.

"Hello, is this Mr. Matthew Huo?"

"Yes."

"I have a package that needs your signature. I'm on the ground floor of your company."

After hanging up the phone, Matthew stood up and walked out of his office.

Once the busy Owen saw his boss, he interrupted his work and asked, "Mr. Huo, are you leaving for

the Yuan Group now?" According to the CEO's schedule, they would leave for the Yuan Group in ten

minutes.

However, Matthew shook his head and replied, "No, I'm going downstairs to get a package."

'A package?' Owen looked at him in astonishment. Yet he wasn't the only one. All the special assistants

on that floor seemed shocked.

Why would the CEO personally sign and fetch the package? Paige followed him in panic. "Mr. Huo,

allow me to go and get it for you."

Unexpectedly, Matthew refused her, "No, thanks. You guys may carry on with your work."

Paige didn't know what to say. Stopping in her tracks, she watched Matthew get in the elevator by

himself.

On the ground floor of the company, Matthew felt a bit lost.

He had never taken an express package himself, so he had no idea where to pick it up. With no other

choice, he asked the security guard about it and was quickly guided to the mailroom.

By the time he got there, Matthew saw no sign of the postman.

He looked around and all but didn't see anyone who resembled a mail carrier.

Taking out his phone, he was about to call back the number which he had picked up in his office when

someone unexpectedly rushed towards him.

"Honey!"

With no time to put his phone away, his first reaction was to hug the woman who had her arms around

his neck.

Holding her tightly, Matthew couldn't help laughing. "Is this the package you mentioned?"

"Yes. Are you surprised? I'm giving myself to you as a gift. Are you happy?" Erica stuck out her tongue

naughtily. All she wanted was to surprise Matthew.

After kissing her head, he answered, "Yes." In fact, he missed her a lot.

"Did you miss me? I missed you so much that I had to come! I was afraid to disturb you during your

work, so I didn't call. But I'm not going to lie and say I didn't notice that you never told me you loved me

when I texted you!" She pouted, still in his arms.

Followed by a chuckle, he teased her, "Didn't you record my love confession to you the last time? You

can listen to it whenever you are free."

Letting go of him, Erica curled her lips sadly. "I lied to you. I never recorded it." At that time, she was so

overwhelmed with a mix of anguish and excitement that there was no way she would remember

recording anything.

He caressed her hair and put his arms around her shoulder. "Let's go to my office first."

Erica refused to move but didn't release him either. "I won't go! You haven't said you love me yet! If you

don't tell me now, I won't go!" It was way too rare to hear him say that he loved her.

Therefore, that day, no matter if she had to threaten him, she would hear him confess his love.

She didn't care whether he was willing to do it or not. She just had to hear him say those words.

Matthew wasn't really good at saying sweet nothings. So with his eyebrows pinched, he begged her in

a suspiciously flattering tone, "Rika, let's change this request of yours, okay?"

"No way!" She stood her ground.

But Mathew's lips remained sealed.

Furious, Erica saw herself forced to do something outrageous. "It's okay if you don't want to tell me..."

she said, causing Matthew to feel instantly relieved.

However, when he was about to praise how considerate it was of her to say that, she suddenly turned

her back at him and added, "But if you don't, I'll go find another man who will. I don't care about you

anymore!"

The next moment, she felt a hand grabbing her wrist as a male voice whispered in her ear, "Rika, I love

you, and I miss you very much!"

The woman grinned largely. Turning around, she threw herself into his arms. "Honey! I love you too!

Muah!"

Helplessly, Matthew closed his eyes and warned her in a low voice, "I'll teach you a lesson later!"

The next moment, the couple headed to the CEO's exclusive elevator and only got off when they

reached the floor where the CEO's office was on. Once they saw Matthew coming with Erica, the

special assistants immediately understood why their boss insisted on going downstairs in person. It

turned out that his package was his wife, after all.

As soon as they got into his office, Matthew kicked the door closed and held the woman in his arms as

he kissed her. Matthew felt he was much better in expressing his longing for Erica through his actions.

A few minutes later, Owen received a call from his boss demanding that his schedule was canceled for

the rest of the day.

Looking at his phone, Owen shook his head in resignation. 'Mr. Huo loves his wife more than his

business.'

At the weekend, the weather was clear when Matthew was forced to take the children to the zoo so

they could see the pandas.

In the car, looking at the man's scowl, Colman brought a hand to his own chin and made a face. "Dad,

aren't we cuter than Mom?"

The corners of Matthew's mouth twitched. "Yeah, you're very cute."

The little boy smiled narcissistically and said, "I also think so."

Matthew couldn't believe the boy's audacity but didn't say anything.

At that moment, Boswell came over and grabbed his dad's arm. "Dad, don't blame Mom. She didn't

mean to spill the beans!"

Last night, while Erica was telling the four children a story, she spilled out that Matthew had taken her

to see the pandas. The kids, of course, rushed to Matthew and protested immediately. How could their

father not take them to see the pandas?

Therefore, Matthew had no choice but to bring his four sons to the zoo early this morning.

Damian told him gently, "Dad, we just want to have a look at the pandas. It won't take you too long."

Trying his best to calm himself down, Matthew lowered his head and explained, "I never blamed your

mom. Don't worry. Come with me now. I'll take you in."

"Okay!" Relieved to hear that their father wasn't angry, the four kids surrounded him promptly.

In the living area of the pandas, they came across the words carved on the stone board.

Looking at it, Boswell muttered, "Lili, Riri, Kaka... Dad, your name is on the board. Are these three

pandas yours?"

The man nodded in response.

Upon learning the truth about the pandas, Colman ran over to his father. "Dad, we like them so much.

Can we go in and have a look? Can we hug them too?"

Matthew shook his head and answered in a serious tone, "No matter how cute a panda is, it still

belongs to the bear family. These are three adult animals, and they can be aggressive. But I'll take you

to see the baby pandas. They are more docile, and you'll be able to hug them."

The boys were looking forward to having a panda in their arms. Whether it was a baby or an adult one,

it didn't matter. So, with a nod, they agreed in unison, "Okay, okay!"

At the end of their visit, Matthew did as he promised and took his four sons to another house, where

the baby pandas were. Standing aside, he watched as the kids played with the cubs.
