"Sure," Selina agreed.
They didn't sit inside. Instead, they chose the open area outside.
Matthew told the waiter, "One cappuccino, less sugar please."
Selina was surprised.
She looked at Matthew with an expression of shock. "You still remember I like my cappuccino with less sugar."
"I remember everything you like." Matthew fixed his gaze on her and then asked, "Selina, do you remember what I like to drink?"
Selina froze.
After a moment, she nodded awkwardly.
Not only did she not remember what Matthew liked to drink, she never knew in the first place.
Matthew took in Selina's expression and immediately knew what was going on.
His messy state of mind immediately became clear.
Matthew ordered the same cup of coffee as Selina's before glancing at her again.
Seeming to be aware of Matthew's gaze, Selina lowered her head.
Her thick eyelashes concealed the emotions in her eyes, and only the slight blush on her cheeks was visible.
Matthew, who had been momentarily silent, couldn't help but blurt, "Selina, do you really like me, or are you just looking for a new lover?"
Selina went stiff.
She suddenly raised her head. "Matthew, you still don't trust me. Is that what you think of me?"
A hint of bitterness flashed in Matthew's gaze.
Selina bit her lip. Her pink lips turned pale as she said, "Even after telling you everything, you still think that I'm only doing this to forget my past, don't you?"
"Selina," Matthew called, but he was soon interrupted by her.
"If that's what you think, then I'm telling you, it's not true, not at all! " Selina exclaimed.
"It's true that I told you I was seeking for a new relationship to forget my past at first. But back then, I also told you that I would never like you. However, Matthew, I like you now!" Selina said in a single breath.
There was sorrow in her gaze as she muttered, "If you still don't believe me, then forget it. Just pretend I never said anything."
She didn't understand. He used to do everything just to make her reciprocate his feelings.
However, now that she was in love with him and had confessed her feelings, he no longer trusted her.
She couldn't understand. She really couldn'.
Selina put away her cup. "You can enjoy your coffee. I'll leave first."
However, just as she was about to go, Matthew suddenly held her in his arms.
Her breathing stuttered.
She could feel the heat from his body flowing through her blood and heading towards her heart.
She knew that she had to push Matthew away.
He didn't believe her anyway. She had to leave.
However, being in his arms, she felt like she could no longer take control of her body. It was as if her energy was drained away completely.
"Let go of me." Selina's voice was a whisper.
Matthew did not release her. On the contrary, he grabbed her hand.
His palm touched hers.
Selina's heart was beating rapidly, and a strange feeling of affection rippled through her.
Matthew's voice was slightly hoarse as he stated, "Selina, I believe you."
Selina trembled.
Matthew continued, "It's just that I'm confused, really confused right now. Can you give me some time to calm down? Please?"
He lowered his tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, Matthew stared at Selina.
She felt that his eyes were like diamonds in the night, sparkling and dazzling.
Under that kind of gaze, she could not find a single word to reject him.
