"You don't have to," Tobias said ever more solemnly. He continued, "She has been spoilt by this whole family, including you. It's no wonder that she has been behaving so stubbornly."
Natalie hesitated for a moment.
What Tobias said did make sense.
Selina had definitely acted too stubbornly at times.
Natalie tried to suppress her urge to comfort Selina immediately. She decided that she would talk to Selina later instead.
Natalie looked at Matthew and said, "Matthew, have you really gotten a divorce with Selina? You shouldn't have divorced her so soon. Perhaps the situation would have changed after we'd given Selina some time."
Hearing this, a surge of grief flashed across his eyes.
Of course, he understood what Natalie said.
However, everyone had impulsive moments and Matthew was no exception.
He had seen that Selina did not like him at all. He had also seen Selina's desire to abandon this marriage.
If Matthew wanted, he could coax Selina forever.
However, he still had his pride.
"Natalie, Tobias, please excuse me. I have to comfort Selina now," Matthew said.
He couldn't bear to see Selina crying so badly.
Matthew bought a cup of hot coffee for Selina.
He remembered that Selina liked to drink cappuccinos.
Matthew walked over and handed the coffee to Selina.
She took the coffee without saying anything.
A teardrop rolled down her cheeks and dripped into the cup. The ripple that formed soon disappeared.
Selina was stunned.
Matthew said gently, "Even if the tear has dropped into the coffee, you still have to drink it. It's similar to life. You have to bear the consequences of your wrongdoings."
Selina held her breath.
Hearing Matthew's words, she felt even more uncomfortable.
She looked at Matthew with watery eyes. She said, "Matthew, even you blame me for this?"
Matthew resisted the twinge of sympathy in his heart and said, "Selina, I'm just pointing out the truth."
Things would not have ended up like this if Selina had been willing to discuss everything peacefully.
Selina's fingers were trembling as she said, "I..."
She wanted to say something. However, she couldn't.
She was overwhelmed by remorse.
Cecilia wouldn't have fainted if Selina hadn't provoked her.
Matthew pursed his lips even more tightly.
He wanted to teach Selina a lesson so that she could realize her mistake.
However, upon seeing Selina's reaction, Matthew couldn't bear to say anything anymore.
"Don't worry. I've asked the doctor about Madam Lawson's condition. She's fine. She'll regain her consciousness soon."
Selina raised her head immediately and looked at Matthew. She asked anxiously, "Are you telling the truth?"
Matthew nodded and said firmly, "Yep."
Selina breathed a sigh of relief.
Matthew continued, "You should talk to Madam
Lawson and apologize to her once she wakes up. After all, you're her biological daughter. She'll definitely forgive you."
"I'll do it for sure," Selina said softly.
"What's happened has happened. There's no point in just feeling regret. What you need to do now is to think of a way to mitigate the problem."
Selina bit her lip.
After a moment of silence, she said, "I know my mother is angry at me for divorcing you. I know I was impulsive when I married you as a means of getting revenge. If I didn't agree to marry you in the first place, none of this would have happened."
Matthew felt a deep sense of defeat at this moment.
Although he knew the truth, he still felt heartbroken whenever Selina mentioned it.
