TAKE MY BREATH AWAY - Chapter 1399 An Experienced Driver

Unconvinced, Erica punched Matthew on the shoulder. “You’re so annoying. You didn’t tell me anything. It’s your fault that I misunderstood you then!” If she had known earlier that Matthew had always loved her, she wouldn’t have wasted so much time being jealous of Phoebe in the past.

Matthew said helplessly, “Yes, whatever you say. It’s my fault.”

Erica also wanted to ask him about the plastic stars he ordered her to fold, but the driver was also in the car with them. She would have to save it for when they got home.

Resting her head on his shoulder, she burped and then sighed, “Oh! I really wanted to be a panda. I would eat and sleep all day long. And no matter how fat I was, I would still have someone to love me.”

Matthew was amused by her words. Weren’t they just talking about themselves? Why did she suddenly change the subject back to pandas?

‘My wife’s logic is really confusing. I always find myself trapped in its maze.’ He couldn’t help but smile.

“You can eat and sleep all day long like a panda if that’s what you want,” he cooed.

“No, thanks. Men enjoy women with a good figure. If I get fat like a panda, I’m afraid Noreen Xia will show up at our house tomorrow.”

‘Noreen Xia?’ Matthew was puzzled, and then he asked, “What does she have to do with it?”

“If you don’t like how I look, you will take her home as your mistress one day!”

All the tenderness Matthew held in his eyes was quickly replaced by wrath. At that moment, he wished he could strangle Erica. Did she really think that his love for her was that shallow? “Shut up. Don’t talk to me now.”

Erica couldn’t help laughing at his angry outburst. Holding his waist, she challenged him in a sweet voice, “If my weight reached 110 kilograms, you wouldn’t be able to carry me. What would you do then?”

“I would exercise harder,” he answered. In 2018, a weightlifting champion lifted 163 kilograms in the snatch, and 197 kilograms in the clean and jerk. That man won three prizes with a total of 360 kilograms lifted, breaking the world record.

If someone could lift that much weight, Matthew believed that he could do the same—or even better.

Erica, who had no idea that her husband was thinking of her now as a barbell, suggested melodiously, “Why don’t you also put on some weight? In that case, we can be a couple of fat people.” ‘We’ve shared weal and woe, why shouldn’t we gain weight together as well?’ she thought to herself.

“Okay.” Although he had agreed, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able

ial events and didn’t know how to return his compliment. Therefore, she answered sheepishly, “It’s fine. I was free anyway.”

Matthew held the woman in his arms and said, “Thank you, Mr. Wang. We’re leaving now.”

The moment Matthew came near her, she smelled the strong scent of alcohol emanating from him. But instead of commenting about it, she smiled and nodded as everyone said their goodbyes.

By the time they left the hotel, Matthew leaned back in the passenger seat and then glanced at his wife behind the steering wheel. “Have you brought your driver’s license?”

“Ah! I forgot!” She didn’t take her purse with her when she got out.

“But don’t worry, I have a driver’s license. I’ve been driving for over two years now. I won’t make the same mistake as before.”

Matthew closed his eyes and said helplessly, “Then my life is at the hands of Mrs. Huo!”

“Don’t worry! I promise you will get home alive!” she said with great confidence.

Matthew twitched his lips. “Well, I’m glad to know I’ll be home alive. But Mrs. Huo, promise me I won’t lose an arm or a leg in our way there, okay?” He couldn’t afford to lose any of his members. After all, he needed his body intact in order to satisfy his wife’s sexual drive in the future.

Erica chuckled. “Fine, I promise you, Mr. Huo! You won’t get hurt.”

“Good girl.”

Matthew sounded like he had too much to drink. However, the smell in the car was not bad, perhaps due to the quality of the wine he had drunk.

Finally, the car drove into the Pearl Villa District. Once Erica parked it, she got out of the vehicle and ran to open the door for Matthew. As she helped him out, she warned, “Slow down!”
