Selina didn't respond at all.
Matthew stood up quietly.
He put on his clothes, kissed Selina on the forehead, and left the bedroom.
As soon as Matthew left the bedroom, Selina's eyes suddenly opened.
Matthew went downstairs.
Ludwik was extremely anxious. "Matthew, what's wrong with Selina? She is carrying the Perry family's baby right now. She must not be in a bad mood." Matthew was unhappy with what Ludwik had said.
He glanced at Ludwik and said, "Dad, are you worried about your daughter-in-law or your unborn descendant of the Perry family?" Ludwik was at a loss for words.
He knew that his son valued Selina a lot. He hurriedly said, "No, I am worried about her as well. I'm worried about her and the baby. What's wrong? Did you two have a fight?" "No." Matthew said, "Something happened. Selina may not be in a good mood during this period of time. Just take note of that," Ludwik instantly becworried. "Then, will the baby in her belly be affected?" Matthew glanced coldly at Ludwik. "Compared to the child in her belly, I'm more worried about Selina." Ludwik was taken aback by his response.
"Alright, alright, alright. I won't mention the baby anymore." Ludwik continued, "You should take good care of Selina and make her feel better. No matter how big of a matter it is, it's not as important as the child in her belly," Ludwik said that he wouldn't mention the baby, but he still couldn't help bringing it up.
The lights in the living room fell on Matthew, leaving him to bask under the faint lighting.
He said, "Dad, I don't need you to remindof that. Trust me, I've got it covered," Matthew decided not to return to the company for the tbeing and stay at hwith Selina until she felt better.
Just as Matthew and Ludwik were downstairs, Selina held her phone tightly in her hands.
The phone suddenly rang.
Selina immediately picked up the call.

On the other end of the line, a male voice spoke in a respectful tone, "Miss Whitlock, Nadia does have a husband. Her husband is being held in prison. I heard that he offended someone powerful. Nadia brought money to bail her husband out several times, but she did not succeed." "Plop!" Selina felt as if her heart had fallen into a deep body of water.
A deep and scalding hot body of water.
Her heart was constantly struggling to float, but it was burning so badly that she had no energy to break through the surface.
Just then, she heard footsteps.
Selina quickly hung up the phone and put it by the bed.
The footsteps cnearer to the bedside.
Selina could discern that whoever it was slowed down their steps and their footsteps beclighter.
Then, she felt Matthew climbing onto the bed.
He held Selina tightly.
Selina closed her eyes.
Matthew did not notice that Selina was awake all this while, and she did not intend for Matthew to know as well. Selina couldn't fall asleep at all throughout the night.
Many things went through her mind.
She thought through all the things that she had never thought of for so many years at that night.
Soon, it was dawn.
The faint sunlight entered the bedroom. A teardrop as large as a pearl fell out from Selina's warm and sweet eyes.
The next day arrived.
Matthew didn't go to the company. Selina insisted that he go to the company but Matthew refused.
He smiled and said, "I will stay with you during this period of time," Matthew's face when he smiled was pleasing to the eye. Even his eyes seemed to be smiling. He looked as if everything was fine all along.
Selina still continued persuading Matthew to go to the company throughout the day. Matthew refused to relent to her.
In the end, she had no choice but to give up.
She told Matthew that he must go back to the company the next day.
Matthew looked at Selina with a faint smile. "That will depend on you." That day, Matthew and Selina went out. They stopped by a cafe, a thpark and many other places.
Selina looked much better than the day before. She managed to talk and laugh with Matthew.
In the evening, they had dinner in a restaurant.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was great. The light, candles and melodious music made people feel more relaxed.
While waiting for the food, Selina looked at Matthew. "I have something to tell you." "Okay, go ahead." Matthew looked at Selina with a smile.
"Don't investigate any further about Caroline," said Selina. Matthew was surprised.
as "I think things are not as simple they seem with Caroline. Like how she suddenly forged a relationship with Nadia and killed her. I think there's something behind it Selina's face was a little pale. "Whether there is something hidden or not, forget about it." Just then, a hint of sadness flashed across Selina's eyes. "Matthew, you know that I once had a very good relationship with Caroline, right?" "Yes." Matthew had an unreadable expression on his face.
Selina smiled, but her smile didn't reach her eyes. "Later on, our friendship turned out to be like this. No matter what we do, she's still dead. Even if you find out more about it, it wouldn't matter as we can't speak or find justice with her dead body anymore. She brought everything away with her death. Just let things go then. Stop investigating." Matthew did not speak.

Selina looked into Matthew's eyes. "Can you promisethat you won't investigate further? She's already e! dead Her death means that things are over." After a long silence, Matthew parted his thin lips and said, "Okay," He finally agreed.
Since Caroline was dead and Reid was on the run, it was impossible for them to cause any trouble for now.
"Since you said things are now in the past, you must promisenot to think anything about it," Matthew added. Selina smiled again. "I won't. Don't you see, I'm happy today, aren't I?" Looking at Selina's smile, Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
In the evening, the two of them returned back home. They laughed and talked on the way home.
Matthew was relieved.
He wanted Selina to walk away and escape the horror of what
happened. When Selina insisted that he return to the company the next day, he agreed as he knew that Selina was okay. The next day soon arrived.
Matthew went to the Perry Group.
Selina woke up at around 12 o'clock.
She had a sleepless night the night before.
In the morning, she finally couldn't fight the sleeplessness that had been going on for 2 days and fell asleep. When she woke, it was already noon.
When she went downstairs to eat, Ludwik stepped around eggshells when he talked to her.
Selina knew that Ludwik was also worried about her.
X During the meal, she deliberately ate extra portions so that her dad wouldn't worry. "Dad, don't worry. I'm fine." Ludwik felt much more relieved when he saw that Selina was doing better.
After dinner, Ludwik received a call from Matthew.
Matthew asked about Selina.
"Dad, how's Selina?" Matthew asked.
