Upon hearing Peter's words, Selina couldn't find an excuse to keep him any longer.
She felt a deep sense of reluctance.
"How about Matthew and I go back to the Whitlock family house too, so that we can be with you?" Selina suggested a moment later.
Peter agreed.
At the stime, he teased Selina, saying, "You and Matthew can do anything you want in the kitchen or the vegetable garden here. If you go to stay with the Whitlock family, everyone will know if you two do something." Selina was speechless.
Her face suddenly blushed. "Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Peter laughed as he felt his white beard.
They chatted for a while, and it was already close to lunchtime.
She got up from the couch. "Grandpa, I'll prepare lunch for you this afternoon. Matthew or the servants usually cook, but today, I'll cook." Peter agreed once away. "If it's my granddaughter, I'll eat whatever you cook, no matter how bad it tastes." The corner of her lips twitched. "Don't look down on me. It won't be bad at all!" After that, Selina went into the kitchen.
There were already a few servants working with Erine in the kitchen. Selina asked them to leave, so it was just her and Erine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Erine, I don't need so many people to cook lunch for Grandpa today. You can help me," said Selina. "Okay. What a wonderful grandchild you are, Miss Whitlock," praised Erine.
Erine was the chatty type. When she was in the kitchen with Selina, she was constantly talking. She suddenly blurted, "Miss Whitlock, to tell the truth, Mr. Whitlock really wants you to be with Mr. Perry. I can see that." Erine stated this on purpose.
She knew Selina was a loyal granddaughter. She hoped to use Peter to persuade Selina and see if things could change between her and Matthew.
Selina's breath hitched.
Just for a moment, the corner of her lips lifted up.
Selina's voice was soft but firm. "Erine, don't worry. Grandpa's dream has cometrue." Erine was stunned.
She stopped washing vegetables and looked at Selina in astonishment.
Selina grinned at Erine. "Not only Grandpa's dream, but yours as well." She knew why Erine had told her that. She and Peter had the swish of seeing her and Matthew together.
Erine paused for a moment. She put the dishes that she had washed aside and hugged Selina.
Her hands were still wet, which dampened Selina's clothes. However, the smile on Selina's lips deepened.
Erine's voice was full of gratitude. "Miss Whitlock, you and Mr. Perry are together now? Did you two get back together? You're not lying to me, are you?" Her reaction made Selina feel more emotional.
She knew that if she told Erine that she and Matthew had reunited, Erine would be overjoyed. However, she did not expect that she would be this elated.
Selina nodded hard. "Erine, I'm telling the truth." Erine sounded increasingly excited. "Miss Whitlock, I'm really happy. You and Mr. Perry are a match made in heaven. Back then, when I found out that you two had split up, I thought about how to get you two back together. Now, you're finally together. I'm truly happy." Selina loosened Erine's hand from her own waist.
She stuck out her tongue. "Erine, you're holdingso tight that I can't breathe." Erine smiled in embarrassment.
"Then I'll wash the vegetables." Erine continued to rinse the vegetables. As she did so, she couldn't help but say, "Miss Whitlock, back then, I didn't understand why you and Mr. Perry wanted to get a divorce. You two are so suitable. I went to church and prayed to help you get back together." Selina was speechless.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief. "Erine, you can't be serious, can you?" To pray for her marriage with Matthew, Erine had even gone to church.
"I'm not." Erine put the washed vegetables on the chopping board. "I've been a servant of Mr. Perry for a long tI've seen how he lived. He's always alone. A man should have a woman in his life. I kept nagging him to get a woman back then. Guess what he said Selina was a little curious. "What did he say?" "Mr. Perry said no one was suitable, which I found strange. There were so many beautiful women who liked him. Why was no one suitable? Later on, Mr. Perry took great efforts to bring you back home. I was happy beyond belief, but you then divorced. I At this point, Erine's voice was choked with sobs.
Selina comforted her. "Erine, don't think too much about it. I'm with Matthew now, aren't I?" "Yes, you two are together." Erine beamed. Her eyes were still red because of how emotional she had just been.
Seeing Erine's bloodshot eyes, Selina held her breath.
She suddenly realized that she had gone too far in the past. She had caused so many people to feel upset. Not only Erine, but also Cecilia and Natalie. Perhaps Tobias too.

She did not want to behave like this any further. She wanted people who cared about her and Matthew to be happy; and did not want them to worry about her. Right then, Peter called for her from outside the kitchen.
"Selina, Matthew called you. Cand pick up the phone." Selina took the phone and sat down on the sofa.
When she heard that Matthew had called her, she was pleasantly surprised.
Erine also hastily said, "Miss Whitlock, hurry and pick up the phone. I'll be cooking here. You can talk to Mr. Whitlock now." "Sorry to trouble you, Erine." Selina hurried to the living room.
Peter was holding Selina's mobile phone with a smile on his face. "You have such a good relationship with Matthew you brat. It hasn't been long yo since you two have been apart and he's already calling you." Selina's face blushed as she took the phone. She ran to the corner to pick up Matthew's call.
"Hello?" She lowered her voice.
That single word revealed how endlessly shy she was.
"Selina." Matthew's voice sounded deep and magnetic. "I forgot something important." Instinctively, Selina asked, "What is it?" "How about you guess?" Matthew kept Selina on her toes.
Selina thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure out what he was referring to.
She directly replied, "I can't guess." S{a}*h the Find_Nøvel."et website on Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
