"Saoirse, don't forget about our half-year contract," Matthew reminded her.
Saoirse held her breath in.
Her blue eyes flashed with faint sadness. "You reminded me, yes, we still have that contract. I'll take my leave now and leave you to your work," she said.
"Alright," He excused her.
Saoirse paused after taking a few steps.
She turned around to look at him. "William, do you still remember the clause of the contract we signed? You agreed to accompanyif I ever requested it," she stated. "Of course I do," he replied.
"So..." a smile appeared on the corners of her lips as she continued, "I want to have dinner with you tonight. William, you must accompanytonight." Matthew's expression froze over.
"Alright," he muttered a few moments later.
Liselle sneaked into Saoire's bedroom.
She rummaged through the closet before she finally found Saoirse and Matthew's marriage certificate.
The certificate had their photo and fingerprints.
Liselle immediately took a picture of it.
She sent the photo to Caroline and gave her a call, "Miss Yethan, I've already sent you what you wanted." "Very good, Liselle, you did very well," Caroline praised her.
"Miss Yethan, what are planning next?" Liselle asked.
Caroline laughed and said, "Just you wait, there will be a good show soon." Selina arrived at the Whitlock family in the afternoon.
Now that Matthew was cured, she planned to have a good talk with Cecilia.
When she entered the villa, she saw an unknown woman sitting in the living room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere were all kinds of gold jewelry on her wrists, neck, and even ankles, which made her hard to look at.
What disgusted Selina the most was that the woman had taken off her shoes and placed her bony feet on the table.
"Who are you?" Selina confronted her, her tone was cold and displeased.
The woman looked Selina up and down and asked, "Who are you?" "I'm asking you!" Selina raised her voice.
The woman gave her proud look, "I am the aunt of the lady of this house," she boasted.
Selina was speechless.
She frowned at the woman.
"Who on earth is this woman?" Selina thought.
At this moment, Natalie cdown to the living room.
The woman immediately put her feet back into her shoes.
"Selina, I see that you have arrived," Natalie welcomed Selina.
She placed the fruit plate on the table and turned to Francia, "Aunt, please eat sfruits." Francia nodded, "Is this fruit imported? I heard that rich people only eat imported fruits." "No, this is not imported, they are produced locally, but they taste better than the imported ones," Natalie explained.
Francia was unhappy when she heard this.
She glanced at Natalie, "My dear niece, are you looking down on your aunt who cfrom the countryside? How could you givelocal fruits, I know that rich people eat imported fruits!" she accused. Natalie was left dumbfounded again.
She could only reply, "I'll ask the servants cut simported fruits then, imported from the United States." Francia was only satisfied after she heard that.
Selina was stunned by the entire event.
She pulled Natalie aside, "My dear Natalie, where did you find such a weirdo?" she asked.
Natalie told her the whole story.
Selina was silent.
It turned out that this woman was James' sister.
James had saved her brother's life.
Although she'd disliked this woman at first sight, this woman was still Natalie's aunt after all, so she would just let her be.
She forced a smile and said, "Take good care of your aunt then." Natalie smiled bitterly. "I will." "By the way, are you looking for Mother?" Natalie asked Selina.
Selina nodded.
Natalie sighed internally.
"She's in Norwell's room. She has been ignoring everyone these past few days and just shut herself in that room," Natalie breathed out.
"I'll go and see her," Selina said.
They went to Norwell's room.
They found Cecilia staring at the crib.
Norwell had already fallen asleep.
"Mom," Selina called out to Cecilia softly.
Cecilia turned around.
She had a conflicted expression when she saw that it was Selina.
A moment later, she just turned back to Norwell, completely ignoring Selina.
"Mom, please don't be like this, please don't ignore me," Selina pleaded with her. Cecilia did not say a word.
"Mom, please just say something, I already feel terrible, seeing you like this is makingfeel even worse," Selina continued to plead with her. "Mom, I'm already stressed out enough, I'll completely break down if you're still like this," Selina was holding back tears at this point.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCecilia finally turned around.
"Let's talk outside, Norwell is still sleeping," Cecilia sighed.
The two of them walked outside.
"What do you want to say?" Cecilia's face was indifferent.
"Mom, you already know what happened to Matthew. This was just an accident, Matthew and I never wanted this to happen," Selina tried to explain.
Cecilia's tone turned cold, "If it was an accident, why did you hide it from me? You and Matthew both keptin the dark about this, do you think you can treat your mother as a fool?" "Of course not!" Selina hurriedly explained, "Mom, we were afraid that you would worry. Please try to understand how we feel, we never treated you as a fool, we were just afraid that you would worry!" Cecilia's tone was still cold. "No matter what you say, both of you still keptin the dark." Selina's eyes reddened, "Mom, I
know that your body hasn't recovered ever since Natalie and brother's misunderstanding, it had taken a toll on you. was afraid that if you knew what happened between Matthew and I, you would collapse. Matthew had wanted to tell you before but I stopped him, Mom, I really was just worried for you," she sniffled.
Cecilia's eyes flickered.
Her expression finally softened, "Selina, I am your mother, you should telleverything," she said.
"Mom, I won't hide it from you next time, I feel terrible for doing so, really terrible," Selina's sniffles beclouder.
She was almost about to cry.
When Cecilia saw the state of her daughter, she finally let her guard down.
"Selina, why is your life so miserable?" Cecilia said sadly.
Selina just kept silent.
"What are you planning to do? Break up with Matthew?" Cecilia continued to ask.
Selina shook her head, "Mom, I still want to be with him." Cecilia was conflicted when she heard this.
After a while, she said, "Selina, I'm not sure what you young people think, but for me, no matter how Clook at it, matter ve Matthewis a married man. You really can't be with such a person." "But he never wanted that marriage!" Selina choked out.
"If he wasn't willing to marry, nobody could have forced him! In the end, he did agree to marry her, he just lost his memory about this!" Cecilia retorted. Selina was rendered speechless.
After a moment of silence, she said bitterly, "He did agree to marry Saoirse, but it was only because she saved him and he didn't have the ability to take care of himself Mom, he had no choice." "No matter what he was going through, at the end of the day, he is still a married man," Cecilia said tired ly.
