Natalie said persuasively, "Mom, it's different now. Their relationship is genuine now, unlike before. You can rest assured about this." "Genuine?!" Cecilia disagreed with Natalie's words, "I believe Matthew is sincere toward Selina, but it's impossible that Selina's feelings for him are real." "Mom, why is it impossible? I think it's possible." Cecilia had just finished cutting a mango.
Once again, her eyes fell on Natalie's face. "Natalie, if I asked you to separate from Tobias and fall in love with another man, could you do that?" Natalie did not hesitate at all. "Of course not." She'd only love Tobias in this lifetime. It was impossible for any other man to enter her heart.
"That's it!" Cecilia took another watermelon and cut it. "Selina is the same. It would be impossible for her to fall in love with another man. You know her past." Natalie's breathing becheavy.
She knew what Cecilia meant.
Cecilia still firmly believed that Selina was in love with Dylan and that no one else could enter her heart except him.
"Mom, feelings change. Selina did adore Dylan, but she doesn't anymore. She likes Matthew." "Would your affection for Tobias change?" Natalie was speechless.
She did not know how to explain further.
In the living room, Selina asked, "Matthew, what do you think Natalie and my mother are talking about in the kitchen?" "Probably about us." Selina's eyes widened. "About us? What about us?" "Madam Lawson doesn't trust us. Natalie is probably speaking for us." Selina becanxious.
After the conversation with Cecilia just now, she could tell that Cecilia did not trust them. Otherwise, why would she have asked them to delay their marriage? It seemed that the previous arrangement for their wedding to be held at the end of the month was just to delay their union! "Then what should we do?" Selina looked at Matthew with a sad expression.
"It's okay. Twill reveal our true intentions," Matthew assured.
There was no solution for now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSof Cecilia's thoughts had been deeply rooted in her heart. It was definitely not something that could be changed in a day or two. At this time, they could only use tto prove their sincerity. Selina sighed, "Well, I guess that's the only way." As she spoke, Cecilia and Natalie walked out.
Cecilia put the plate of fruits on the table and urged, "Con, let's eat the fruits." Natalie sat down helplessly.
She had been trying to persuade Cecilia in the kitchen earlier, but she was completely helpless. Cecilia was too determined.
Moreover, since Cecilia had dragged Tobias into it, Natalie could do nothing about it.
Matthew took a slice of watermelon and gave it to Selina. "This one is the sweetest." Selina took a bite, and it was indeed very sweet.
Her eyes lit up. "You're good at picking watermelons. Each time, you pick the sweetest." Then, she raised the watermelon to Matthew's lips. "Have a taste." Matthew cooperated and took a bite.
Selina's eyes were all smiles.
In fact, she had done it on purpose to show off their loving relationship in front of Cecilia so that Cecilia could believe them.
However, when she saw them being affectionate with each other, Cecilia beceven more worried. She kept feeling that all this was just an act.
The more affectionate Selina and Matthew acted with each other now, the messier it would be when the day cthat they broke up.
Cecilia let out a cough.
After everyone's attention was focused on her, Cecilia opened her mouth and said, "Selina, Matthew, since you insist on that date for your marriage, then well go with it." It was not that she did not want to change it, but she had no choice.
Selina smiled at Cecilia, "Then, I will be getting married at the end of the month." In stark contrast to the bright smile on Selina's face, Cecilia looked serious and scolded, "Stop smiling atall the time." Selina felt helpless, she retorted, "Do you wantto be crying?" "Selina, marriage is a serious thing. I hope you will treat your marriage with a serious attitude in the future Don't act as you did in the past!" "Mom, don't worry. I will." "Don't tellthat you're going to divorce again in the near future. I'll be mad at you then." Cecilia's voice becmore stern.
Selina raised her hand, "Mother, I promise you that I won't do it this time." Cecilia looked annoyed. "Let's stop talking about it and eat." At about 10 that evening, Matthew drove to the Perry family villa.
Selina sat in the front passenger seat.
Along the way, they were talking about their marriage, and their eyes were full of smiles.
Suddenly, his cell phone rang.
Matthew glanced at his phone, and then the smile in his eyes froze.
It was Matheo.
Selina also saw it.
She frowned slightly. "Is it because of Rainee?" Matthew picked up the phone.
As expected, Matheo was doing this for Rainee.
Matheo pleaded, "Matthew, please cand visit Rainee. She's been crying all this time, and merrified that something bad will happen to her if things go on like this. I know it's alther fault, but cand see her. I'm begging you." "No, Matheo. I'm not coming," Matthew answered in a low voice. "Matthew, I'm begging you."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Matheo, if I cto see Rainee, it'll give her a hope that she shouldn't om have. This kind of expectation would only be more disadvantageous to her. It's better to have a short term pain than a long term pain. Moreover, I promised Selina that I wouldn't see Rainee again.
The other end of the phone fell silent, leaving behind only heavy breathing.
After a while, Matheo spoke again.
"I understand now. Do disregard this call." After that, Matheo hung up the phone.
Because of this phone call, the atmosphere in the car suddenly becsomewhat awkward.
In the end, Matthew was the first to speak.
His tone was deliberately relaxed. "Where were we?"
Selina peeked at Matthew and asked, "Matthew, am I going too far? in fact, I have no right to prevent you from meeting anyone." The decision of seeing Rainee should be up to him.
Matthew suddenly stopped the car.
He gently raised Selina's chin and commented, "Little lady, you're unhappy." "Mm," Selina muttered inaudibly.
The phone call just now had suddenly made her unhappy.
In fact, she had never been too hard-hearted.
At this moment, she was wondering whether her decision was wrong, not because of Rainee, but because of Matheo.
She could clearly hear Matheo's hoarse voice, begging on the phone.
She knew Matheo's heart must be miserable watching Rainee suffering.
