Fortunately, Cecilia added, "Well, I'm just an outsider. Since both of you are so determined to be together, I can't say anything about it. If that's your decision, so be it."
This sentence was an indirect approval.
Selina was relieved.
"Mom, what are you talking about? You're not an outsider. You are my mom, the best mom." Selina smiled.
Seeing her daughter's smile, Cecilia felt helpless. She let out a sigh to herself.
When Hayden and Peter arrived later on and saw the fruits on the table, Hayden clamored, wanting to eat them.
Coincidentally, Selina loved watermelon too. Hayden could tell at a glance that the watermelon in Selina's hand was the sweetest. He then made a fuss over eating the piece that Selina was holding. Selina and Hayden quarreled against a piece of watermelon childishly. The gloomy atmosphere suddenly became a crowd of laughter.
Time flied as Selina and Hayden were playing around. Soon, it was time to rest.
Selina took the initiative to tell Cecilia that she and Matthew were going to stay in the Whitlock family house that evening.
She lowered her voice and whispered in Cecilia's ear, "Mom, you don't have to prepare two beds anymore. I am officially married to Matthew."
A look of surprise flashed across Cecilia's eyes.
When there was no one around, she privately told Natalie about this.
"Do you think that Selina really decided to marry Matthew?" Cecilia looked at her.
Natalie did not know what to say.
Meanwhile, Cecilia thought for a moment and continued, "Maybe it's true. She's made up her mind and wants to spend a good life with Matthew. However, I'm afraid that her soul will be seduced by that man. Things would become chaotic again."
Natalie remained silent.
She had the same thoughts as Cecilia.
She believed that Selina was not the kind of woman that would deliberately stir up trouble.
Since she had said that she was going to marry Matthew, that meant Selina was serious.
However, in the future, Dylan could still get hold of Selina's heart. By then, it would be a mess once
more.
Natalie comforted Cecilia by replying, "Mom, maybe Selina is serious this time."
She might not think so, but she still had to comfort Cecilia, didn't she?
However, Cecilia could not believe her.
She shook her head. "Natalie, do you believe it?"
Natalie was at a loss for words.
There was a layer of embarrassment on her face, a transparent layer.
Cecilia then uttered, "Do you know why I eventually agreed, though? Matthew told me that one man's trash is another man's treasure. That even if he knows that Selina would harm him, he would still be happy. What do you think I could say?"
Natalie was speechless.
Indeed, it was Matthew and Selina. Other people could only give advice. It was hard for them to say anything.
Meanwhile, Selina and Matthew were in the huge bedroom.
It was the same bedroom as before. However, things had changed.
The last time they were in here, there was only endless awkwardness.
This time, it was full of beauty and ambiguousness.
Matthew's gaze fell on the floor. He remembered how he had slept on the floor last time.
His eyes were slightly curved into crescents. The emotions in his pupils were unpredictable.
"Don't tell me you still want to sleep on the floor?" Selina teased.
Although the room was full of beauty and ambiguity, it was also filled with tension.
Selina wanted to tease Matthew so she wouldn't be that nervous.
Matthew's dark eyes were fixed on Selina as he smirked. "Hm, do you want me to sleep on the floor?"
