Take My Breath Away

Everyone, including Julianna, knew that Tessie had lied about what had happened between her and Erica.

Erica didn't want to hold a grudge against Julianna over this issue as she knew that she could put it behind her after Tam and his family left Y City tomorrow.

Erica forced back her tears, turned, and nodded at Julianna. "Thank you for accepting Ethan."

She could now sympathize with Julianna. After all, her father suddenly had a son, and she had a younger brother.

And all this was because her father had an affair with her best friend. Who could accept such a reprehensible relationship? However, Julianna's actions showed that she seemed to have accepted Ethan as her father's son and her baby brother.

Julianna smiled, "Why should you thank me? He is my father's son. I should thank your family for being so kind to him even though they know that he is not your child."

Her reassurance appeared genuine.

Her mother had been pale-faced and dispirited when she had told Julianna about how she had fought with her father when she learned about Ethan. Between sobs, she had said that she didn't want to divorce him.

After all, Tam had been very good to her before. As they had been married for more than twenty years, it was not easy to break up. She wanted to give him another chance.

If her mother could forgive her father, why couldn't she?

Despite her unwillingness, Erica handed Ethan to Julianna. "My baby, go to your...sister!"

Tears welled in his eyes, and Ethan's chubby arms tightened their grip around Erica's neck. He refused to let go.

Seeing that Ethan was about to cry, Tam stepped forward and said, "Let me do it."

As he had spent more time with Ethan than Julianna, Tam believed that Ethan would be more willing to go to him.

Tam removed a corn candy from his pocket and held it in front of Ethan. With a kind smile, he said, "Ethan, here is a candy for you. Come to Dad."

Ethan glanced at Erica, hesitated for a short while, and then stretched a hand toward Tam.

The smile on Tam's face grew as he lifted the little boy in his arms. Seeing that the little boy was about to cry again, he quickly opened the candy and gave it to him. "Good boy, don't cry. Daddy will buy some toys for you, okay?" Tam coaxed as he walked further away from Erica and Julianna.

Complex feelings coursed through the two girls as th

e man stood still with his wife in his arms. The imperial aura he emitted was beyond the reach of Watkins, a boy who had not yet graduated from university.

Erica wanted to refute Matthew's words, but Matthew didn't allow her to look up.

But then, Watkins conveyed what she wanted to say. "Mr. Huo, you're too overbearing. How can you deprive Erica of the right to make friends? She won't be happy if you keep doing this!"

Erica repeatedly nodded as she agreed with Watkins.

Matthew held her head tightly so that she couldn't raise her head at all. "Mr. Chai, you're wrong. Rika was very happy before she met you. Most importantly, as her husband, I'm responsible for her happiness. A bachelor like you wouldn't understand the fun and romance Erica and I have."

That was a harsh comment, especially his use of the word "bachelor."

As Watkins got in his car, Erica struggled to free herself from Matthew's hold. It was not until the car had disappeared that Matthew let go of the woman in his arms and looked at her indifferently. "Matthew Huo, how could you say that about Watkins?"

"What do you mean?"

"You said that he was a bachelor."

Matthew asked, "Isn't he?"

Erica didn't know how to respond. 'Well, he seems to be unattached. Otherwise, why did he have the time to come to see me?'

Her reaction deepened Matthew's annoyance. Every time he got off the plane, he would go straight home. And every time he reached the villa, he would see her and Watkins. He warned, "Erica!"

"Yes?"

"I'm warning you now. Stay away from Watkins in the future!"
