Take My Breath Away

Matthew knew that Erica was bold, but he hadn't expected her to be this audacious. She had the guts to scheme against Gifford!

His tone was firm as he said, "No." Then he turned and continued to walk toward the hotel room door.

"Hey, didn't you agree to do me a favor? Why are you breaking your promise?" Erica huffed as she stubbornly stood in his way.

Matthew couldn't believe her persistence. Had she not considered all the risks? He frowned as he replied, "Do you know how much Chantel will suffer if anything goes wrong?" 'What if Gifford doesn't like Chantel?'

"Oh! Don't worry. Chantel agreed when I spoke with her." Erica wouldn't do such a terrible thing without Chantel's approval. However, since Chantel had consented, Erica thought she was just a matchmaker.

Matthew was speechless. At this moment, he realized that the two women had discussed the plot against Gifford in the bathroom!

As he had hesitated, Erica decided to take advantage of the situation and continue coaxing him. She pouted and gazed at him with sorrowful eyes, like a spoiled child, and said, "Honey, after this, I will be obedient. I will give you a baby as soon as possible. No, five! Five cute babies! Since we're wealthy enough, we can afford so many children!"

She hoped that all the children would be boys so that she could teach them how to take Matthew's property from him. Then, the man would be homeless and would learn about society's cruelty!

Matthew was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He had grown to be arrogant and aloof as he hadn't experienced society's unkindness.

Although Erica had not experienced adversities, she wasn't cold and impassive around people.

Matthew scoffed. She had lured him with the same promise so many times that he was no longer inclined to believe her.

The last time she had asked him to make a baby with her, he had exhausted himself trying. But, she had fled from their home. She tricked the bodyguard, snuck out of the house, climbed the wall, and escaped in the dead of the night!

What worried him now was the thought that Erica might behave similarly when pregnant. As this wasn't the first time she had evaded the guards at the villa, he had to consider and prepare for a repeat incident. Perhaps he needed more people to follow her from now on.

"Honey, decide quickly. My brother is leaving tomorrow! And if you don't help me, I'll tell your father that you hit me and kicked me out of the house in the middle of the night." Erica was so anxious that she started threa

led with a faint, pleasant fragrance of flowers.

When she was done, the woman placed the lid back on the bottle, covered her mouth and nose, and said, "I'll leave now!"

"Okay, thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

After the woman left, Chantel leaned against the wall and tried to steady her breath. Gifford was next door. Was she really going to do that?

Rika had already arranged everything for her. If she were to renege at this time, Rika's efforts would be wasted.

At this thought, Chantel took a deep breath and walked out of the room. A faint scent of flowers trailed her as she made her way to the room next door and rang the bell.

She didn't need to wait long for a response.

Gifford, who was vigilant, asked as soon as the bell rang, "Who is it?"

"It's me!" she answered before taking several deep breaths to steady herself.

'Chantel, the Li family is your benefactor. All you need to do is seduce him and get pregnant! And the man is Gifford. You can do this!' she persuaded herself.

A few seconds later, Gifford, in the hotel bathrobe, opened the door. Confusion marred his handsome features as he asked, "Why haven't you gone to bed yet?"

Before she could reply, the sweet floral fragrance drifted toward him. He didn't pay much attention to it as he thought it was the scent of her body.

Chantel glanced around as though worried, grabbed his arm, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm a little scared... Your room has two beds. Can I... come inside... and sleep on the other bed?"

Chantel and Erica had booked a room with twin beds. To protect her, Gifford had no choice but to reserve the room next door, which coincidently had twin beds as well.
