Resting her chin on one hand, Terilynn blinked her round eyes at Erica and said, “Don’t worry! I think your brother-in-law wants to do all the housework from now on. Well, I’ve made up my mind. I’ll fire the maid when I go back, and Joshua can do all the housework for the next three months!”
Not only did Sheffield and Joshua fail to set up a trap for Matthew, but they also succeeded in getting themselves in trouble. They felt like weeping, but had no tears.
Unwilling to yield, Sheffield said, “Rika, aren’t you mad that Matthew went behind your back?”
“Of course I’m angry?” Erica answered honestly.
Joshua nodded, “So, let’s punish Matthew together! What are you waiting for?”
Erica shook her head. “No, I slapped myself when I was angry.”
‘What do you mean?’ Everyone looked at Erica with puzzlement.
Even Matthew was stunned. What drove his wife to slap herself when she was angry?
Erica calmly took a bite out of the apple in her hand while everyone watched her with anticipation. “I was very angry at the time, but when I thought about what an excellent husband this man has been to me, I decided to slap myself!
He is, after all, my prince charming!”
Then, Erica came over and patted on Matthew’s shoulder. “Now you understand, don’t you? I expect you to learn from this experience so that in the future you can just slap yourself when you make me angry, and ask yourself why you have to make your loveliest wife angry. Just like I will reflect on why I am angry with my prince charming.”
Matthew, who had just been lectured by his wife, felt embarrassed and he didn’t know what to do.
“Hahaha!” The people in the living room burst into laughter because of Erica’s words.
Just then, Wesley and Carlos, who were about to go upstairs, saw what was happening in the living room.
Matthew stood in front of some durian shells and a keyboard, while Erica was eating an apple and giving him a hard time. Even a child could tell that the woman was bullying the man.
“Rika Li!” Wesley roared and strode towards them. ‘This girl has gone too far this time! How dare she do this to my son-in-law in front of everyone!’
Startled by his roar, Erica asked, “Dad, what are you doing here?”
Wesley’s face darkened. “If I hadn’t come in, I wouldn’t be able to see you bullying my son-in-law. And
t the next moment, Wesley raised his voice and shouted, “Erica Li!”
“Yes, sir!”
“Was it you?”
“Yes!” Erica responded so fast that it was too late for Matthew to cover her mouth.
“Run five kilometers!”
“Yes… No!”
Erica’s refusal fell on deaf ears as Wesley was hell-bent on punishing her.
Just then, Matthew said, “Dad, let me do it.” The man was willing to take responsibility for his wife’s actions.
The four kids looked at each other and ran to Wesley. “Grandpa, we will do it!” Adkins said.
“Yes, Grandpa. We know Mom hates running!” With his head tilted to one side, Boswell looked at Wesley, who was holding Blair in his arms.
Colman jumped up and down a few times before saying, “Grandpa, look, I’m a lightweight. I can run five kilometers.”
“Grandpa, we’ll do it on behalf of Mom. I know you won’t turn us down. How about this? The four of us will join Dad and run one kilometer each,” said Damian. Then it would be five kilometers.
Carlos refused to entertain this any longer. “How can you punish my daughter-in-law? You’re not looking to disrespect me, are you?”
Wesley held his wife tightly and calmly answered, “No, I’m just punishing my daughter!”
Yvette reminded him, “Dad, you should just go and buy some Wahaha probiotic milk. Otherwise, you will be the one to suffer when Mom wakes up and doesn’t find her drink!” Wesley felt distressed, but he knew Yvette was speaking the truth.
While others burst into laughter, he had no choice but to go out to buy some Wahaha probiotic milk for his wife.
