Maybe it was because of the fact that Matthew had pinched her cheek too hard that Erica turned to the other side. "Mmph," she murmured. However, she made no move to open her eyes, so she didn't get to see the angry expression painted all over his face.

Fearing that he would hurt her, he loosened his hand and moved it under the thin quilt, running his fingers all over her body.

In the middle of the night at another villa in the Pearl Villa District, a man was sleeping soundly with his wife snuggled into his arms. However, the faint smile that had slithered its way into his lips had been interrupted by a phone call.

The loud ringing echoed across the room. Evelyn let out a muffled groan as she kicked the man beside her, pushing him to answer the call. Instead of taking his phone, Sheffield only held her even tighter.

Helplessly, Evelyn pushed him away, sat up, and turned on the bedside lamp. When she took his phone, she saw the caller ID. It was Matthew.

'Why the hell is he calling in the middle of the night?' "Matthew?" She yawned.

"Evelyn, where's your husband?"

"He's sleeping right next to me." She glanced wearily at the man next to her. "Give me a second. Sheffield, it's Matthew." Sheffield had already woken up a moment ago, but he didn't want to answer the phone. Now that his wife had placed the phone next to his ear, he had no choice but to take it. "I hope you have something urgent to tell me; otherwise—"

"How did you do it during the first three months of your wife's pregnancy?" he interrupted.

"What?" Sheffield furrowed his eyebrows.

Impatient, Matthew repeated the question.

Sheffield finally opened his eyes to glance at his wife. Upon seeing her pursed lips and narrowed eyes, he finally realized what his brother-in-law was trying to imply. He groaned. "Is that why you're calling me in the middle of the night?" he demanded incredulously.

"Yes," Matthew answered bluntly.

With a smirk playing on his lips, Sheffield held Evelyn tightly in his arms. "Too bad for you. It's my secret." It was a rare opportunity for him to be so smug in front of Matthew, so he was going to milk it as much as possible.

"You really won't tell me?" Although the younger man's words were casual, Sheffield could hear the warning behind his tone.

Frustrated, he decided to say it.

Debbie smiled lovingly at her daughter-in-law.

"Yes, the class begins in an hour." In order not to abandon her studies, Erica had to force herself out of her comfortable bed to attend her classes.

After thinking for a while, the older woman nodded. "Eat your breakfast first. Since I'm free later, I can accompany you to school with the driver." Right now, her main task was to take care of her pregnant daughter-in-law.

"Okay."

By the school gate, as Debbie helped Erica out of the car, many students couldn't help but shoot her envious looks. She was not only born from a rich family, but she also married Matthew. Moreover, she also had a mother-in-law who adored her very much. Naturally, many women here could only wish for such luck.

Not long after Debbie had left, Erica received a call from Kelvin, her lawyer.

"Mr. Fei," she greeted, thinking that there had been some progress on the case. "Can the trial begin?"

"No, not yet. Mrs. Huo, there's been some problems with the case." Kelvin was baffled.

She furrowed her eyebrows.

"What? What's wrong?" "Someone's holding off the case. As of now, there's been no progress." If there weren't any leads, then the case couldn't be brought to court.

"What? Who did it?"

"I don't know. They had already set the time for the trial, but now, I was informed that the case was postponed," he said. "Don't worry, Mrs. Huo. I will call Mr. Chai and ask him for help."

"Let me do it." Erica was also anxious.

"Okay then."

After hanging up the phone, Erica called Watkins.
