The twins looked a lot like Matthew. Even at first glance, others could tell they were his children.
As time passed, during Erica's confinement after childbirth, the loving couple had a quarrel.
It seemed that Erica said something Matthew didn't like much.
Despite being for her own good, the confinement was a dull period after childbirth. Matthew, for
example, didn't want her to use her cellphone for a long time every day so that she would have a quick
recovery.
One day, however, Erica was secretly fiddling with her phone when she saw a handsome man on
Weibo. Then, she wrote him a comment saying, "Hey, handsome, do you want a wife? I've just given
birth for the second time, but I can make it the third in nine months for you."
Unluckily for her, Matthew happened to bust her while she used the device. Glancing at the guilty
woman, he forcefully grabbed her phone and took a look at it.
The next moment, he asked coldly, "Can't I satisfy you?"
Embarrassed, Erica shook her head as she explained to him, "Of course you can. I was just kidding!"
What she said was true. When she saw the handsome man, she couldn't help but tease him.
Yet Matthew deleted the comment and the app, and then he threw her mobile phone on the bed as he
demanded, "From now on, you won't touch your phone without my permission!"
Next, he took out his phone and sent a message to Owen with the info of the account he wanted to
delete on Weibo.
Erica, who had no idea of what was going on, wailed, "No, I'm bored in confinement! Matthew, please!"
"I said you won't use your phone without my permission, and you will listen to me."
When angry, the man could be a little tougher.
After a while, the spoiled Erica became enraged as well. "If you don't want me to use my phone, then
you can't use yours either!"
"Whenever I'm with you, I only answer important calls. When did you see me using my phone for other
purposes?" Matthew asked, looking at her indifferently.
He wasn't lying, and Erica had nothing to confront him with either, but still, she whispered, "You don't
like using your phone and now forbid me from using mine. I guess you want to bore me to death,
right?" In fact, the confinement after childbirth was really boring. After the boys had already gone to
school, during the day, either Debbie or the housemaid would stay with Erica.
And because there was no need for her to take care of the twins, she would spend the whole day bored
in bed.
At that moment, Matthew wasn't in the mood to argue anymore, so he turned around to see his
daughter.
Glancing at the pigeon pair on the crib, Erica was angry again. "You hold your daughter the most every
day. Isn't Edmond your son too? Why don't you hold him?"
Although Matthew hugged Edmond every day, he did it much less often than with Erma.
Erica couldn't help feeling sorry for her son. Matthew was about to touch his daughter's hand, but upon
hearing his wife's accusation, his hand fell on Edmund's face.
"Why don't you say anything?" Erica asked Matthew as he didn't answer her.
The man glanced at her and said, "I don't want to argue with you."
"Huh! Argue? Matthew Huo, tell me the truth. You think I'm fatter and uglier than before, so you don't
want to talk to me, right?" Honestly, Erica thought she was so fat because of all the delicious meals that
she wouldn't even dare to look at herself in the mirror lately.
Ever since the twins were born, she had gained fifteen kilograms over her original weight. This was
beginning to affect her self-esteem.
Matthew walked to her bedside and looked down at the woman lying on the bed. Then he warned her
coldly, "Don't force me to sleep with you while you're still in your confinement."
"Huh! You're a real beast if you're interested in a woman who just gave birth."
"Yeah, you are right, I am a beast. Do you want to have a try?"
Erica's heart immediately skipped a beat. Pulling the quilt to cover herself, she stammered, "You...you'd
better leave now. I'm still in the confinement. Go and find another woman! No need to stay at home
quarreling with me!"
Of course, she didn't mean that. How could she be willing to let her husband find another woman?
Despite her annoyance, she knew she was wrong and making trouble out of nothing.
With a sigh, the man sat on the edge of the bed and smoothed her hair gently. "I'd rather stay at home
and quarrel with you than find another woman."
Erica was deeply touched by the words he said. 'Wow! Look how good my husband is to me! I don't
have the heart to fight him anymore.'
Throwing herself into his arms, she batted her eyelashes at him and admitted her mistake. "I'm sorry. I
won't use my phone anymore."
Matthew held her in his arms and said with a smile, "Good girl."
By the time the twins were five months old, Erica got back to work. Since she had over a dozen
servants who could look after the children, she didn't need to spend much time in the house taking care
of them herself.
One day, two of the quadruplets and Erma went to the Huo family manor, leaving Colman, Damian, and
Edmond at home.
On that same evening, Matthew had just left the shower before he could go to bed. However, when he
was about to put on a shirt, he heard Edmond crying. Erica had already run to prepare a formula for her
son after Matthew came to pick up the crying baby. Unfortunately, her breast milk wasn't enough to
feed the two children.
Meanwhile, in order to comfort the little boy, Matthew patted him on the shoulder. He just never saw a
bite coming in return.
Looking down at his chest, the man was speechless. How dare the little boy try to eat something that
only belonged to his mother! He deserved a lesson!
Yet Edmond stopped crying all of a sudden as he excitedly blurted, "Daddy... yummy..."
Matthew was shocked. 'Why didn't your mother ever say I was yummy?' he thought.
When the twins were eight months old, Erica held Erma in her arms one day and asked Matthew,
"Honey, do you think the strapless dress I bought for our daughter looks cute on her?"
Erica had spent over four thousand dollars on a light pink strapless dress for Erma. The baby girl was
also wearing a pair of white shoes and a cute headband that looked like rabbit ears.
"Yes, it's beautiful!" Matthew looked at the baby tenderly as he pinched her little face. Of course, his
daughter was not only the most beautiful princess, but also looked the best in everything.
"Good to know the money I spent on it wasn't in vain. Well, we're going shopping. See you when we
get back later!" Erica announced with a smile.
"Wait!" The man frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"You will go out like this?" Matthew pointed at the little girl in Erica's arms.
Erica looked at her daughter and replied, "Yes! What's wrong?"
"Go get her changed!" Didn't he buy many dresses for Erma? Not to mention that each of them had
way more fabric than this one she was wearing now.
Puzzled, Erica asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you say it was beautiful?" She thought her daughter
looked so cute in this dress.
"Yes, it's beautiful, but girls should have more clothes on when they go out!"
Erica couldn't believe her ears. The little girl was only eight months old! Besides, it wasn't as if she was
naked, and it was summer! Why did she need to wear more clothes than what she had already on?
However, before she could argue with him, Matthew left the room after saying, "Wait for me!"
The next moment, he came back with a colorful princess dress and reached out to get his daughter
from Erica's arms. "Erma, let's go. I'll change the dress for you!" His voice sounded so gentle!
Erica's mouth fell open after she heard that. She was indeed jealous.
Finally, holding the little girl in a colorful princess dress, Matthew decided he would personally go
shopping with Erica and Erma.
