He looked at Selina deeply and said, "Selina, to err is human. We all make mistakes. Don't be too hard on yourself." Selina was conflicted.
Don't be too hard on oneself, but how could she not be so? Caroline could be considered as one of her remaining good friends.
Ever since she was a child, she had been pampered so much which caused her extremely stubborn behavior, thus almost nobody could bear her bad temper. Despite her outgoing characteristic, she really didn't have many friends.
And now, she had lost the only friend she had left.
Selina thought it was really ironic, extremely ironic.
After a while, she closed her eyes slowly and told, "Let's head home." They arrived at the Perry family's villa very soon.
Erine who was tidying the living room got a shock upon seeing Selina.
Selina's long white dress was all dirty after she fell sprawling on the floor.
"Miss Whitlock, what happened? Go take a bath quickly. I will get the hot water ready in the bathtub for you," said Erine as she hurried to the bathroom.
Selina went to get herself spajamas.
"Do you need help?" Matthew asked, sounding a little worried.
He saw that Selina did not seem to look quite alright.
Sarcasm flashed across Selina's eyes as she stared at Matthew and snapped, "Why? You still want to take advantage ofeven when I'm in such a state?" A hint of embarrassment flashed across Matthew's face.
He said in a low voice, "You misunderstood. I'm just worried for you." "Don't worry. I won't die," Selina said with her lips twitched. "I, Selina Whitlock, won't go down so easily." After that, Selina went into the bathroom.
"Selina," Matthew suddenly called out to her.
Selina looked back at Matthew.
"Regarding that incident, don't think too much about it. If you really feel that it was a mistake, then I should be blamed," Matthew's eyes were fixed on Selina's face. Selina's breathing paused for a moment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"How is it your fault?" "Well, it's because I want to make you happy, and if you are not happy, then it is my fault," said Matthew in a serious manner with no hint of being cheeky.
Selina was a little speechless.
What kind of logic was that? "So, as long as you think that all things are mine to be blamed, then you won't have to feel unhappy," Matthew looked into Selina's eyes deeply.
His eyes were as clear as spring which had the reflection of moonlight. And that moonlight was Selina.
All of a sudden, Selina's heart was beating rather quickly.
After a moment, she struggled to look away.
Matthew's eyes were very charming and attractive. They were black holes that could suck people in. Selina warned herself that she should avoid looking into Matthew's eyes that frequently in the future.
As Selina soaked herself in the tub, the pleasant water temperature made her feel comfortable. However, her heart still ached.
Selina suddenly lifted up her hands. Search The FindNøvelWebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
She stared at her hands for a long while before giving herself a hard slap.
Slap! It was a crisp sound.
A red slap mark appeared on Selina's face.
That slap was for Caroline.
At the stime, the bathroom door was suddenly pushed open.
Startled, Selina sprang up to cover her body subconsciously.
It was Matthew who cin.
"Why did you cin here? Get out!" Selina yelled as fear flashed across her face.
Matthew gaze fell on the slap mark on Selina's face and furrowed his brows.
He strode over and bent over.
"You're my wife, Selina bit her lip.
there's no need to be shy," he muttered, his tone did not sound lascivious.
While there was nothing wrong with what he said, she had never really regarded herself as Matthew's wife.
The reason she married Matthew was for "revenge", as she wanted to make things difficult for Matthew! "Do you want it?" Selina suddenly stared into Matthew's eyes and said, "If you want it then make it quick, I'll take a shower here when it's done." Matthew's handsface stiffened for a moment.
"Selina, don't think oflike that," he muttered and his voice had a tinge of hoarseness.
A sense of pain also flashed across his good looking face.
He stretched out his hand and covered the slap mark on Selina's face.
In a heart-wrenching and sympathetic voice, he said, "If this slap was from someone else, I would've chopped off the person's hand. But this was from yourself, so what should I do?" Selina paused her breath.
She saw that Matthew's feelings at that very moment were not fake.
As he spoke, she could feel something warm streaming down her neck.
Selina turned her head slightly and said, "Matthew, we're not in a romantic comedy. Stop that." There were a myriad of expressions in Matthew's eyes.
"I'll wash your hair for you," he murmured after a moment.
Her lips twitching, Selina didn't say anything.
Matthew indeed started wetting Selina's hair and lathered the shampoo on his hand. The way he worked his fingers through Sefina's hair through a light massage was unexpectedly comfortable.
"Don't do silly things in the future, Selina." "If you hit yourself again, I'll have you right here. Do you hear me? Huh?" His words had a hint of threat.
Selina glanced at Matthew and asked, "Are you threatening me?" "Yes." Matthew replied frankly.
Selina bit her lip again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMatthew had always been a gentleman, so it was rather uncommon to see him this dominating.
"Then I won't let you know when I'm hitting myself," Selina responded after a moment.
Matthew was speechless.
In his heart, he heaved a heavy sigh.
He really could not do anything about Selina. This fact had been true even from their earliest interactions.
"Okay, wash the rest yourself," Matthew said and rinsed the shampoo off of her hair.
Selina gave Matthew a sideways glance and asked, "Why stop with the washing?" Matthew suppressed the glimmer in his eyes and said, "I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to control myself." Selina was speechless.
Matthew then left the bathroom and closed the bathroom door nicely.
A complicated look appeared in Selina's eyes.
Actually at times, Matthew was quite a gentleman.
For example, Matthew did not do naughty things to her even when she at th had been staying at the Perry family's villa for a few days. But, so what? Despite being a gentleman, it still could not change the fact that Matthew had performed that "evil" deed.
After soaking in the tub for a very long time, Selina got out of it.
Perhaps it was due to her being too long in the tub, but she felt slightly dizzy after getting up.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before putting on her pajamas and walking out.
She did not bring any clothes when she cto the Perry family. Now, m this place had a special dressing ve room which housed clothes of her sizes which ranged from pajamas to seasonal outfits and even complete with innerwear. It was Prine who took her to the dressing room, saying that Matthew had specially prepared it for her.
Selina did not have much feelings about it.
For someone of Matthew's status, preparing such a thing would only instruction take a verbal verbal which would not even exceed 10 seconds. Therefore, she was not touched by the gesture at all. Selina got into her bedroom.
As she lay on the bed, she suddenly remembered something.
