She paused and put on a bitter smile. "Matthew, you should know that Selina, she..." Natalie licked her dry lips and said, "She doesn't see you as..." "I understand." Matthew said directly, "Natalie, there are sthings that I can't tell you now. So, please helpout this time." There was a flash of hesitation in Natalie's eyes.
What was wrong with Matthew? After a while, Natalie agreed.
She had known Matthew for a long time, and she also knew that Matthew was a person who knows what he's doing. He would definitely not try anything silly. At noon, Natalie asked Selina to go out for a meal.
She thought that she could use this as an excuse to get Selina to the restaurant, and she would then get Matthew to cto the restaurant too.
However, Selina instantly rejected her.
She said that she had no appetite.
Natalie then suggested to go for dinner instead.
Selina put down the book in her hand. "Natalie, I haven't had a good appetite recently. I just want to have squiet tand read sbooks here.
I don't feel like going anywhere." Natalie was dazed.
She started to sense that there was something wrong with Selina.
After thinking for a while, she reckoned that it was because of her fight with Dylan.
She figured that it had already becthe norm for Selina to act this way now, and that she would get better in no time. She didn't let it bother her further.
Natalie went downstairs and called Matthew.
She suggested for Matthew to cto their house instead.
"Matthew, at first, I was thinking of asking Selina out, so that you could meet her. However, she refused to leave the house. So, why don't you just cover instead? It would be the sanyway, you guys can still talk here." There was a moment of silence.
"Okay." Matthew replied.
In the afternoon, Matthew arrived at the Whitlock family's villa.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNatalie was chatting away with the caretaker on how to take care of her baby.
Natalie was startled when she saw Matthew.
She had seen Matthew many times now, and he had always been very spirited and smiley.
This was the first tshe saw Matthew...
How should she put it? He looked a little worn out and gloomy, like he was distressed.
Even his usually shiny eyes were bloodshot.
"Matthew." Natalie stood up.
"Natalie." Matthew forced a smile.
It was obvious that he was trying hard to put on a smile, and he had lost his usual charisma.
Natalie's heart jolted.
She wondered if Selina had done something silly and harmed Matthew.
"Matthew, Selina..." Natalie was about to say something but she stopped.
"I'll go look for her." Matthew interrupted Natalie.
Natalie's gaze shifted slightly.
She then pointed towards the stairs. "Selina is on the first floor. She's reading books in the study." "Thank you, Natalie," Matthew said in a low voice.
His voice carried an incomprehensible gloominess.
His heart started beating faster when he was outside the room.
There was a strange sense of disorder and panic.
Matthew's gaze froze slightly.
What was going on with him? He had always been calm, so why was he getting so edgy just at the thought of facing Selina now? Matthew snapped back into reality and knocked on the door.
There was no response.
There was total silence.
If Natalie had not told him that Selina was in there, he would have thought that there was nobody in the room.
Matthew tried to push the door open.
Fortunately, the door was not locked.
Matthew saw Selina's back facing him. She looked slender from the back, and her posture was excellent, looking just like someone of the upper class. She sat in front of the desk and seemed to be reading a book. Her black hair was spread out, and it was shining with a faint luster under the light. Matthew's heart fluttered at the sight of her.
He walked over.
Selina seemed to have not noticed that Matthew had cin, her body was still.
He saw that Selina was actually reading the book when he stood in front of her.
A world-famous book.
"Pride and Prejudice." Her focus was on the book, seriously skimming through the sentences.
Matthew stood there for a while, and he immediately knew that Selina was not really reading.
She had not turned the pages at all.
"Jane Austen's is very good." Matthew finally said something.
Selina's body shook.
She looked up at him with disgust. "What are you doing here?" The abhorrence in Selina's eyes made Matthew feel confused.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe said in a soft voice, "Selina, I'm sorry." Matthew's had always had a kind and gentle voice. When he deliberately softened his voice, it was even more pleasing to the ear and warm to the soul.
However, Selina wasn't moved at all. She only felt disgusted.
If there had been any lingering affection for Matthew, they sure had vanished into thin air after Matthew took away her virginity that night.
She hated Matthew for stealing what was so precious to her.
Selina's gaze was cold. "There's no need to apologize. We've already done it, what's there to be sorry for now?" A flash of pained emotions appeared in Matthew's eyes.
Selina stood up.
She was not short, but she seemed petite in front of Matthew who was a lot taller than her. She looked up and stared at Matthew ferociously.
"So, does it make you feel ecstatic to steal my virginity from me?" The pain in Matthew's eyes grew even deeper.
He wanted to explain himself, but Selina stopped him and spoke again.
Every word of hers was like a stab in
his heart. "Was it more fun than usual? I can't believe that you are such a low person. I was unconscious, and yet you went ahead and took advantage of"Selina, it's not what you think it was. "Of it wasn't like that, what is it like then?" Selina interrupted Matthew and laughed sarcastically. "They said that all the men in the upper class were getting bored of the usual games. They wanted something new and exciting, seven started to try to sleep with their nephews' girlfriends. I think you must be one of them now, are you not?" Matthew's face darkened.
Selina got closer to him. "Just because I was with Dylan, and just because you were his uncle, you were suddenly interested in me. I was also curious as to why you likedso much even though we did not really know each other, but now I understand. You never liked me, you were just perverted. Matthew, you are nothing but a pervert! You're a pervert pretending to be a gentleman!" Matthew's expression beceven more pained.
He wanted to explain to Selina that it wasn't true.
It wasn't just Selina who was drugged that night. He was a victim too.
Also, he had already fallen for Selina ë since the dance ball nine years ago.
S~ash the Findt website on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. He had only found out that she was with Dylan after Dylan brought her hthe last time.
However, in the end, he swallowed his words.
Matthew saw the agitation in Selina's eyes.
He knew that any explanations wouldn't mean anything to her at this time.
They would all be regarded as excuses as Selina saw them, and they would only trigger her further.
