Matthew was speechless.
He didn't have wrinkles at all, but he didn't retort Selina's words, because he was willing to indulge her.
Matthew gazed at Selina and said, "Honestly, your skin is better."
He had never seen a woman whose skin was in better condition than Selina's. Her skin was tender and smooth, like a freshly laid egg.
Of course, he had never paid attention to other women's skin either.
Selina touched her cheek subconsciously.
It was indeed tender, feeling like jelly.
What a pity.
Selina sighed. "The only bad thing about my skin is it's too sensitive, it acts up even when I just put on some makeup."
That was why Selina usually did not put on any makeup unless there was some big event.
"Selina, you don't have to put on makeup. You already look good without it." Matthew was not saying that to be polite, he was telling the truth.
Selina smiled.
She was quite happy to hear what Matthew said.
"Even so, as a girl, I like to put on makeup. Using sunscreen as light makeup makes your skin look better, but I can't even do that. My skin is always too sensitive," Selina said.
"Your skin is too sensitive?" Matthew asked.
Selina nodded. "Yes, so it's too bad, isn't it?"
A dim light flashed in Matthew's eyes.
The gloomy glint disappeared quickly like a dragonfly skimming the water surface.
The owner of the restaurant served a big plate to their table, which was filled with all kinds of barbecue.
Roast beef, roast meat, roast mushrooms, roast corn and so on.
Without exception, all the roasted food was sprinkled with chili powder.
"Oops!" Selina exclaimed. "I forgot to tell the owner to serve some plain ones. You can't eat spicy food, after all."
"It doesn't matter. I'll pull through."
Selina shook her head and said, "No, I'm sure that you can't eat food this spicy."
Matthew had gone to the hospital last time after
he ate a spicy dish cooked by Erine. It was still fresh in Selina's memory.
When Matthew saw the concern in Selina's eyes, there were ripples in his heart.
What had happened last time was still vivid in his mind.
Selina clearly knew that he couldn't eat spicy food, but she still pestered him to eat it.
However, she was showing such a concerned attitude at this moment.
If he had known this earlier, he would have been willing to befriend Selina earlier.
"I'll ask the owner to get some food that is not spicy at all." Selina got up and spoke to the owner who was busy working on the barbecue stall.
After a while, Selina returned.
"Then I'll eat first," Selina said. Looking at the food which was mouth-watering, Selina's appetite was whetted up.
Matthew smiled and nodded to Selina.
Selina ate happily.
The barbecue still tasted good, tasting just like when she had come and eaten there a few years ago.
While Selina was eating, chili powder got on her lips when she wasn't looking.
Matthew handed over a napkin and said, "Wipe your mouth."
Selina was unable to come back to her senses, looking at Matthew with wide eyes.
Matthew couldn't help but laugh when he saw how Selina looked, holding skewers in both her hands.
He simply used the tissue to wipe Selina's lips.
An electric current ran through Selina's body.
Matthew had not been so intimate with her for a long time.
"Does it taste good?" Matthew asked with a grin after wiping Selina's lips.
