Natalie sighed.
Meanwhile, Tobias continued, "That was why when he saw that Selina was nearly taken advantage of, he was totally unable to control himself. Natalie, it's not just him. I'm the same..." His gaze was firmly fixed on Natalie's face. "If anyone were to try and assault you, even if they didn't succeed, I'd take out a gun too, because it'd be impossible forto calm down at a tlike that." Natalie's heart was full of mixed emotions.
After a while, she said in a low voice, "It's a pity that Selina doesn't like Matthew. No matter how well he treats her and how much he cares for her, Selina still doesn't like him. Since that's the case, there's nothing he can do." Tobias smiled bitterly. "That's right, there's nothing he can do if she doesn't like him." In the past, he had tried his best to set Matthew and Selina up as well. He thought that she would eventually be moved and fall in love with Matthew. After all, Matthew really was a good person.
However, he was now convinced that feelings were not something that could be forced. Feelings could not spark just by moving one's heart.
If Selina did not like Matthew, then that was just how it was. No matter what, she would not like him. That was why Tobias no longer wished for them to be together.
Meanwhile, Natalie's arms suddenly wrapped around Tobias' waist, and there was sgratefulness in her tone as she said, "Luckily we like each other, Tobias." A gentle smile flashed across Tobias' eyes. "Yeah." Natalie's belly had grown big. When she wrapped her arms around his waist, her bulging belly poked him.
His eyes fell on her stomach. "Natalie, do you know why the baby in your belly hasn't been born yet?" Natalie smiled helplessly.
Who knew? She was clearly close to her estimated date of delivery, but the baby in her womb was taking its sweet time. It made no movement.
Natalie touched her stomach and said, "I don't know either, but the doctor said that even if the estimated date of delivery has passed, as long as the heartbeat and amniotic fluid are normal, then it's fine..." At this point, she paused. "Maybe our baby feels too comfortable in my belly and doesn't want to cout." Tobias chuckled. "This child... Does it not want to meet us at all?" The corner of Natalie's lips raised as well. "It's okay. Even if we have to wait a little more, it's a good thing. The process of waiting itself is beautiful." Tobias nodded, and there was a faint twinkle in his eyes. "That's right, Natalie. Being with you, every day is full of waiting, and every day is beautiful." Upon hearing Tobias' words, Natalie's lips curled into a happy smile.
That was right. Being with the person she loved, every day was full of waiting, and every day was beautiful.
Matthew returned home.
He went into the study, stuffed the pistol into the drawer and locked it.
He did not like killing. He did not like the moment when blood was shed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf Selina had not been the one involved, Matthew might not have opened fire even if he had brought a gun. Something faintly surfaced in Matthew's mind.
Matthew closed his eyes.
Those matters had already passed, so there was no need to think about them.
Matthew opened his eyes, which were glassy and bright at that moment.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Matthew opened it to see Erine.
"What's the matter, Erine?" Matthew's voice was clear and pure.
Erine felt a little embarrassed. "The vegetables in the garden have grown well. The baby cabbages are so tender.
I know Miss Whitlock used to really like the cabbage soup I made, so I was thinking of making sfor her." At this point, Erine paused and looked tentatively at Matthew. "Mr. Perry, why don't you call Miss Whitlock and ask her to cover for a meal?" Her conversation with Matthew the day before had left Erine unsatisfied, so she had thought of an excuse to ask Matthew to get Selina to cover.
"She won't come," Matthew said.
Erine was stunned.
Hearing Matthew say so, there was nothing much Erine could say. She could only make a pitiful expression. "Those baby cabbages are so tender. Miss Whitlock would definitely like eating them." Matthew's thoughts stirred.
"Are the vegetables in the garden growing well?" he suddenly asked.
Erine nodded. "Very well. You can go and have a look, Mr. Perry." His interest was abruptly piqued.
He nodded. "Okay, I'll go take a look." Matthew followed Erine to the vegetable garden.
Just like what she had said, the vegetable garden looked wonderful.
A helpless smile flashed in Matthew's eyes.
Who would have thought that the garden, which had initially been filled with the fragrance of flowers, would bec a vegetable garden because of a single comment from Selina? Unfortunately, the vegetables in the vegetable garden were growing, but Selina was gone.
After a moment of silence, Matthew spoke again, saying, "Erine, prepare the dishes tomorrow. I'll send them to Selina in the morning." Erine agreed immediately.
Although he did not call Selina over, the fact that he was sending it to her personally did count as getting closer to her.
The next day, Matthew woke up early. Erine had already prepared everything.
Inside the thermos, there was cabbage soup that had been carefully prepared by Erine.
When Matthew took the thermos, it radiated a slight heat.
"Thanks for your hard work, Erine," Matthew said.
Erine shook her head. "Nothing hard about it, as long as you and Miss Whitlock..." At that point, Erine swallowed what she wanted to say.
She had wanted to say that it was no trouble as long as Matthew and Selina could make up. However, she felt that Matthew's attitude was telling enough, and there was nee no need for her to say that. All she could do was try and set Matthew and Selina up from the shadows. Search the (F)indwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Matthew drove his car to the gate of the Whitlock family villa.
It just so happened that Tobias was about to go to the company.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA look of surprise flashed across his eyes when he saw Matthew. "Matthew." Matthew nodded at him. "Are you going to the company now, Tobias?" "Yeah." There was a profound meaning in Tobias' gaze. "You definitely haven't clooking for me." Matthew gave a wry smile. "Yes, I'm here for Selina." Tobias wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought.
Matthew continued, "Don't think too much. When she was in my house she really liked eating the food there, her." so decided to send so there, How could Tobias not think too much? His gaze was deep. "Matthew, don't waste your effort on Selina. You'd better go find another partner."
There was a subtle curve on Matthew's lips. "Don't worry. Eknow that there's no chance between Selina and me." Tobias sighed softly.
"Then, I'll be going first." "Okay." After Tobias left, Matthew called Selina.
She received the call just as she was about to have breakfast, and her whole body froze.
She did not expect Matthew to call her.
It had been a long time, and Matthew had not taken the initiative to do so.
"Aunt, have you been struck by lightning?" Hayden asked.
Selina remained silent.
Natalie glanced at Hayden and said, "You brat, don't talk nonsense. Where did you learn all that nonsense from?" Selina went aside to answer the phone.
When she accepted the call, she was a little short of breath.
"Hello?" Selina forced herself to calm down.
