The meeting was about one-third of the way through.
Matthew suddenly stood up. "The meeting is over. The rest of the meeting will be held tomorrow." There was silence.
The crowd burst into an uproar.
From the start, everyone could see that Matthew was not very focused on the meeting. They did not expect that the meeting would suddenly end at this moment. Everyone was guessing whether something big had happened to him.
Meanwhile, Matthew rushed to the company's parking lot after leaving the conference room. He stepped on the gas pedal and started the car smoothly.
Matthew drove at the speed of light.
There was a constant, faint hint of anxiety in his heart.
He was worried that by the the got back, Selina would already have left. He was worried that he would not be able to see her even though her coming over was such a rare occasion.
At first, he had clearly already decided not to go back and see Selina.
After all, he knew that Selina was only coming over to look at the vegetable garden that had been set up for her. Maybe when he had sent her the food earlier that morning, it had made her feel nostalgic and crave Erine's cooking.
Anyway, no matter what the reason was, it could not be because of Matthew himself.
However, he still went back. He could not help it.
Erine had prepared a whole buffet of food.
Selina had an unspeakable feeling when she went into the dining room.
It was familiar and warm.
Then, she wore a helpless smile at the corner of her mouth.
Back when she was in the Perry family house, she had never felt that there was any warmth in this dining room. At that time, her heart was full of hatred, so how could she have had tto think about other things? Now, she could see that the design of the dining room was truly ingenious. The orange light matched the warm- toned furniture, which made her feel cosy.
Combined with the full table of food prepared by Erine, it felt like hto her.
"Is Matthew not coming back?" Selina pretended to ask casually.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtErine hesitated for a moment.
She had specifically asked Matthew as well, but he said that he had a meeting, and that he would not be able to return.
"Mr. Perry... He won't be able to cback." Erine stammered. "He's too busy with work. There are many meetings to be held today. Otherwise, if he knew that you were coming, Miss Whitlock, he would definitely cback." The expectation in her heart suddenly left a hole.
"Oh," she said in a low voice. "If he doesn't cback, then so be it. I don't want to see him anyway." There was a kind of unspeakable bitterness in this sentence of hers.
"Then you can eat first, Miss Whitlock." Erine served Selina her food.
She sat down and slowly ate the meal.
Strangely, the food that had just been appetizing seemed to have lost its flavor in an instant, and it felt like she was chewing on wax.
She did not know where her mood had gone. Her whole mind was empty, to the point where she did not hear the approaching footsteps. It was only until Erine let out a scream that she regained her senses. "Mr. Perry is back!" Erine's eyes lit up as she looked at Matthew, who was walking into the dining room. Her level of excitement made it seem as if she had seen her life savior.
Selina was shocked.
The bowl in her hand fell to the ground.
In a split second, the floor was covered with shards.
Matthew rushed over in a hurry, and his tone was anxious. "Are you okay?" He was afraid that the shards had injured Selina.
A feeling of nervousness swept through her body once more. Search the (Find)website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
"I'm... I'm fine." Matthew personally picked up the pieces on the ground.
Erine quickly ran over and said, "I'll do it, Mr. Perry. You're as valuable as gold, how can I let you pick up these things?" "It's okay." Matthew's voice was warm and gentle.
"This is what I should do. You don't need to." Erine was speechless.
Selina clearly saw Erine's face blush red in an instant. Her face, which was full of wrinkles, was instantly filled with the glow of a young lady.
Selina remained silent.
She laughed in her heart.
Matthew...
He was so wonderful, it was no wonder that everyone around him liked him. Even an ordinary servant in the house was so sincere to him.
Hold on...
Selina's gaze froze.
Something... seemed off.
At first, when Matthew treated the people around him well, she had thought that he was much too hypocritical. However, that way of thinking of hers had disappeared, and she instead thought that he was a good man.
Meanwhile, Matthew had finally cleaned up all the fragments on the ground.
"Mr. Perry, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Erine asked.
Matthew nodded. "Yes, I haven't." "Then I'll get you a bowl of food, and another one for Miss Whitlock." Erine immediately ran to the kitchen with joy.
Selina glanced at Matthew. "Sorry, I broke one of your bowls." Of course, with how grand the Perry family was, a single bowl made no difference. However, apologizing was still the right thing to do. Matthew smiled and said in a gentle tone, "As long as it makes you happy, you can break all the bowls in this house." The corner of Selina's mouth twitched. "Forget it, I'm not interested in breaking bowls." Erine had already prepared two more bowls of food.
Matthew sat across from Selina.
A ripple welled up in her heart.
She could not remember how long it had been since she had sat down with Matthew and eaten in the dining room like this.
She swallowed hard.
She truly felt quite warm.
She took a bite of the food.
It tasted much better than when she was alone.
She did not have much of an appetite before, but now, she was suddenly ravenous.
Meanwhile, Matthew's gaze swept across Selina as well, and his lips subconsciously curved into a smile.
After a while, Matthew's gaze fell on one of the bowls of food on the table.
Meatballs.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe remembered that Selina liked to eat these.
Matthew used his fork to pick up one of the meatballs. At first, he hadm wanted to put it into her bowl..
However, after picking it up, be froze. swivel He thought that it would not be appropriate for him to do so considering their current relationship.
With that one moment of hesitation, his movements cto a halt.
Coincidentally, Selina moved to grab more food as well, and her gaze unintentionally swept past him.
She saw Matthew's hand stopped in midair with a meatball on his fork.
Selina was at a loss for words.
She widened her eyes. "Matthew, are you doing an acrobatics performance?" An awkward expression appeared on Matthew's face.
He put the meatball into Selina's bowl. "Eat it." Selina was speechless.
It had been a long tsince Matthew had offered her food like this.
However, Selina doubted that
Matthew had picked up the food to give it to her. It was only because he had thought of something and had gone into a daze, while she had coincidentally taken notice and said something. He was embarrassed, and put the meatbail into her bowl.
Even so, she still felt a little happy in her heart.
With one bite, Selina gulped down half of the meatball.
Strangely enough, the food she had eaten could not compare to the food that Matthew had given her.
After dinner, Matthew happened to receive a phone call.
He frowned slightly.
It was about the company.
The meeting from earlier had ended abruptly, and there were many things that thad yet to be taken care of. Matthew looked at her apologetically. "Sorry, I'll have to take a call first. It might take stime." Selina nodded to show that she understood. Meanwhile, Matthew went to answer the phone.
She stood in place aimlessly.
After standing for a while, she suddenly remembered something.
X Selina quietly went upstairs and opened the door to the bedroom she used to share with Matthew.
