When Matthew found out that Ethan wasn't Erica's child, he was so thrilled that on the next day, he showered his employees with rewards in the pretense of appreciating them for the company's excellent performance.
Later, when Phoebe had a miscarriage and framed Erica for it, she thought that Matthew had chosen to believe Phoebe over her.
Could he ever do such a thing? Who was Phoebe to Matthew? And how could she ever compare to Erica? How could Matthew ever believe an insignificant woman over the woman he married?
When the foolish girl said that she would compensate for the baby he had lost with another, he agreed because of his own selfish desire and did not bother explaining to her that the baby Phoebe had lost was not his.
And soon after that, he took Erica's virginity.
But Matthew felt guilty for lying to his beloved woman. So, he did everything in his power to make her happy.
After all this, it came as a shock to Matthew when Erica ran away with their babies.
The silly woman was too shocked after realizing how much he loved her, and left him while she was still pregnant.
Matthew felt so wronged. He silently begged in his heart for her to come home. He wondered why she didn't take him with her when she decided to run away.
She would never know how Matthew lived through those lonely years without her.
He didn't dare to go back to their bedroom. He was afraid that he would miss her more because of her lingering smell in the room.
He patiently waited for Erica for more than three years, and finally heard of her whereabouts from his four sons!
Erica was very smart.
In order to stay out of their radar, she had been living in a poor village for three years.
At the airport, his silly son, Boswell, secretly told Adkins that he didn't want his mother and Aunt Tessie to stay in Tow Village forever. The boy thought that Matthew didn't hear.
But, no!
Matthew heard it clearly.
Erica was in Tow Village!
He went to the village and saw her for the first time in more than three years; she had changed so much that his heart ached for the silly woman.
She could not only do housework now, but had also learnt to take care of others.
In order to punish her for leaving him, he pretended to not care about her and didn't mention anything about taking her back to Y City even after sleeping with her.
Erica became anxious and finally returned to Y City on her own accord.
After her return, she accidentally discovered all his secrets, one by one— the bottle of stars which he had asked her to fold as punishment, her teenage photo which he had taken secretly, the lock of her long hair she had left for him, the letter she had written to him, and the two words "My Rika" embroidered on his every shirt.
