Take My Breath Away

Chapter 1304 - The Most Handsome Man In The World



Maybe it was because of the fact that Matthew had pinched her cheek too hard that Erica turned to the other side. "Mmph," she murmured. However, she made no move to open her eyes, so she didn't get to see the angry expression painted all over his face.

Fearing that he would hurt her, he loosened his hand and moved it under the thin quilt, running his fingers all over her body.

In the middle of the night at another villa in the Pearl Villa District, a man was sleeping soundly with his wife snuggled into his arms. However, the faint smile that had slithered its way into his lips had been interrupted by a phone call.

The loud ringing echoed across the room. Evelyn let out a muffled groan as she kicked the man beside her, pushing him to answer the call. Instead of taking his phone, Sheffield only held her even tighter.

Helplessly, Evelyn pushed him away, sat up, and turned on the bedside lamp. When she took his phone, she saw the caller ID. It was Matthew.

'Why the hell is he calling in the middle of the night?' "Matthew?" She yawned.

"Evelyn, where's your husband?"

"He's sleeping right next to me." She glanced wearily at the man next to her. "Give me a second. Sheffield, it's Matthew." Sheffield had already woken up a moment ago, but he didn't want to answer the phone. Now that his wife had placed the phone next to his ear, he had no choice but to take it. "I hope you have something urgent to tell me; otherwise—"

"How did you do it during the first three months of your wife's pregnancy?" he interrupted.

"What?" Sheffield furrowed his eyebrows.

Impatient, Matthew repeated the question.

Sheffield finally opened his eyes to glance at his wife. Upon seeing her pursed lips and narrowed eyes, he finally realized what his brother-in-law was trying to imply. He groaned. "Is that why you're calling me in the middle of the night?" he demanded incredulously.

"Yes," Matthew answered bluntly.

With a smirk playing on his lips, Sheffield held Evelyn tightly in his arms. "Too bad for you. It's my secret." It was a rare opportunity for him to be so smug in front of Matthew, so he was going to milk it as much as possible.

"You really won't tell me?" Although the younger man's words were casual, Sheffield could hear the warning behind his tone.

Frustrated, he decided to say it. "Look, just do it slowly. Make it extremely comfortable for her, man. That's it." It wasn't as if he was an expert at these things. How the hell was he supposed to know what would fit for him?

"Are you sure that my wife or babies wouldn't get hurt?"

"No. It honestly depends on the woman's health." He paused. "But I do remember how Rika climbed that tree. That means she's physically fit enough. As long as you pay more attention, she'll be fine." Before Erica got pregnant, she had taught Godwin and Godfrey how to crawl around the backyard like the soldier back in the Huo family's manor. Being the daughter of an esteemed military officer, she was good at these types of physical exercises.

"Got it!" Matthew hung up.

In fact, during their conversation, he had already come up with different ideas on how to make the experience comfortable for the both of them.

Staring at his phone, Sheffield snorted. "My brother-in-law is probably the most arrogant man in the universe," he grumbled. He didn't even get a "thank you" for his advice.

"Who's more arrogant? Dad or Matthew?" Evelyn asked, drawing circles on his chest.

'This isn't easy to answer, ' he thought. Finally, he came up with a decent reply. "We all know how your father is an incredibly influential man. It doesn't matter whether he's arrogant or not. The most important thing is that he's the most powerful and handsome man in the world."

It seemed that he had dodged a bullet from his own wife.

"Didn't you say that you were the most handsome man in the world?" She cracked a smile, trying to hold back her laughter.

"That's obviously before I met you," he quickly said. "Once I met you, I realize I couldn't hold a dime when it comes to your father. Then again, I'm not surprised. You are the most beautiful woman in the world, so it's fit to say that you got both your parents' genes."

Evelyn was rendered speechless. "Oh, just sleep." She rolled her eyes. He had always been such a smooth talker.

"Wait, honey!" he called out.

"What's wrong?" Just as Evelyn turned off the lamp, his body pressed against hers.

"Even if Rika's pregnant, Matthew isn't going to let go of her that easily. Seeing as you're not pregnant and you aren't on your period, don't you think we should be up to something now?" he said as his hands wandered around her waist.

"And what does that have to do with us?" She raised an eyebrow.

"Your brother woke me up, and I couldn't sleep. How about we have some fun?" As soon as Sheffield finished, he pulled her towards him and gave her a searing kiss.

On the other side, Matthew hung up the phone and returned to his bedroom.

He had planned to punish Erica that night, but he soon decided against it once he glanced at the clock. It was already three forty in the morning. For the sake of her pregnancy, he decided to let her have a good sleep first.

In her sleep, Erica had no idea what the man next to her was thinking about. When he lay down, she turned over and held his arm.

She woke up a few hours later. She would've slept a little while longer if she didn't have to go to school.

When she freshened up and walked downstairs, Debbie was already waiting for her. Seeing her all freshen up, she asked the maid to serve her breakfast. "You're awake! Come and eat."

"Have you eaten yet, Mom?" Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Erica was more cautious in going down the stairs. She couldn't handle it if she would lose them because of her own carelessness.

"Matthew and I had breakfast. Come here. I've already asked the cook to make you some soup. It's very refreshing." While the two were talking, the maid already fixed up her breakfast on the dining table.

Debbie ladled a bowl of hot soup for Erica and placed it in front of her. "Be careful," she warned. "It's hot."

"Thank you, Mom!"

"Do you have any class later?" Debbie smiled lovingly at her daughter-in-law.

"Yes, the class begins in an hour." In order not to abandon her studies, Erica had to force herself out of her comfortable bed to attend her classes.

After thinking for a while, the older woman nodded. "Eat your breakfast first. Since I'm free later, I can accompany you to school with the driver." Right now, her main task was to take care of her pregnant daughter-in-law.

"Okay."

By the school gate, as Debbie helped Erica out of the car, many students couldn't help but shoot her envious looks. She was not only born from a rich family, but she also married Matthew. Moreover, she also had a mother-in-law who adored her very much. Naturally, many women here could only wish for such luck.

Not long after Debbie had left, Erica received a call from Kelvin, her lawyer.

"Mr. Fei," she greeted, thinking that there had been some progress on the case. "Can the trial begin?"

"No, not yet. Mrs. Huo, there's been some problems with the case." Kelvin was baffled.

She furrowed her eyebrows. "

What? What's wrong?" "Someone's holding off the case. As of now, there's been no progress." If there weren't any leads, then the case couldn't be brought to court.

"What? Who did it?"

"I don't know. They had already set the time for the trial, but now, I was informed that the case was postponed," he said. "Don't worry, Mrs. Huo. I will call Mr. Chai and ask him for help."

"Let me do it." Erica was also anxious.

"Okay then."

After hanging up the phone, Erica called Watkins.
