The way Selina smiled was very awkward.
She took a spoonful of food and put it onto Peter's plate, "You're always eating, so you should eat more rather than speaking so much at the dining table.”
Peter smiled as he ate the food that Selina had given him.
However, Peter did not stop there.
His gaze fell on Selina's abdomen, a thoughtful glint in his eye. "All that's left now is the matter of your belly."
Selina was stunned.
Peter said meaningfully, "Do your best!"
Selina was speechless.
She didn't want to answer, but when she saw Peter's inquiring gaze lingering on her belly, she braced herself and said, "Alright. I understand, grandpa."
Only then did Peter look away.
It might be due to the fact that Matthew was preparing another dish that everyone was waiting for, but they all deliberately slowed down their eating pace. About ten minutes later, Matthew finally came out with the plate of meatballs.
The dish gave off a fragrant smell.
"Selina, have a taste of Matthew's cooking," Peter said cheerfully.
Selina could only force herself to grab a few.
The taste was really good, and it was not inferior to the one made by Prine.
After a while, Peter tasted it as well.
Peter was very satisfied with Matthew's cooking skills.
He even gave him a thumbs-up. "I didn't expect you to be good at cooking, Matthew. It's really beyond my expectations."
Matthew smiled and said in a clear and gentle tone, "Mr. Whitlock, you're exaggerating."
Peter shook his head. "This isn't an exaggeration. It's rare for a person in such a high position to be able to make great dishes. Selina is indeed blessed."
After saying that, he deliberately looked at Selina, "Don't you agree, Selina?"
Selina pretended that she didn't hear, deliberately stuffing her mouth full of meatballs.
Peter didn't give up and asked with perseverance, "Selina, I'm asking you a question. Don't you think so too?"
Selina had to raise her head and swallow.
When she was about to answer "yes", she suddenly noticed that there was another pair of eyes looking at her.
That gaze was deep. Whose eyes could those be if it weren't Matthew's?
Selina felt it like a thorn piercing her back.
She couldn't say utter the "yes" that she was about to say. Therefore, Selina softly answered, "Whatever you say Grandpa."
The gaze which was staring at Selina got cold.
After dinner, as usual, they accompanied Mr. Whitlock on a short walk. When it was time, they left for their respective bedrooms.
Matthew was still in the same bedroom as Selina.
One was sleeping on the bed, and the other was sleeping on the floor.
After entering the bedroom, Matthew spoke first, "Selina, I want to tell you something. During the time while Mr. Whitlock is still here, today's incident will never happen again. You don't have to worry about it."
Selina felt a wave of irritation rising.
She glared at Matthew. "Suit yourself!"
However, after laying down, she felt restless.
After she thought about it, she couldn't help but utter, "By the way, Matthew, your speed in finding a new lover is incredible!"
Just a while ago, he had been so affectionate towards her, and acted as if he must have her. In just the blink of an eye, he was already together with a celebrity.
Matthew furrowed his brows slightly.
He would have given Selina an explanation patiently in the past.
However, he was not in the mood to do so right then.
What's more, he'd deliberately not had the news taken down at the beginning because he'd been hoping that Selina would misunderstand.
