Selina pushed Matthew away in one movement.
"This, this..."
There was still a bit of soup on the corner of her mouth.
Matthew wiped it away with his finger. "You were drunk, so I carried you back."
"Oh," Selina murmured.
Erine's soup was really effective. At this time, Selina felt that she was almost awake.
Selina smiled bitterly and added, "I actually wanted to check the evidence. I don't know how I ended up getting drunk."
It seemed that Selina was just how her mother had described her, an extremely unreliable person.
Matthew held Selina's hands and murmured in a low and hoarse voice, "It's my fault, Selina. I should done the investigation instead of you."
Selina was stunned for a moment.
"You... Aren't you supposed to comfort Rainee and Matheo?"
Matthew tightened his grip on Selina's hands. "Selina, you're the one I have to comfort the most
right now."
Selina was caught off guard.
She looked at Matthew in surprise.
"Are you still drunk?" Matthew changed the subject.
Selina shook her head. "No. I'm much better."
"That's good." Matthew stared at Selina. "I'm sorry, Selina."
"Why are you apologizing to me?"
"Do you still remember what I said to you last time? The conversation we had when we had a misunderstanding." Matthew's eyes were deep. "I mentioned that no matter what happened in the future, I would believe in you, unconditionally believe in you, and I would trust you more than I trusted in myself."
Selina let out a bitter laugh.
She replied in a low voice, "It's different this time."
If Matthew did not believe her in anything else, she would definitely be outraged.
However, this time she was not.
Even Selina was starting to doubt herself.
She even felt that she had really done it, but she had forgotten about it.
"Those bodyguards have been with me for many years," Selina commented sourly. "I don't believe that they would betray me."
"I've known you for many years. I believe that you won't do such a thing," said Matthew.
Selina's eyes moved.
After a while, she shook her head and said, "I really don't believe myself now, Matthew. What can I say in the face of so much evidence?"
"There's no rush. Let's take our time to investigate."
"Do you really believe me?" Selina looked at Matthew.
Matthew's tone was firm. "I believe in you, Selina. I have no doubts at all."
Her cold heart seemed to be filled with a little warmth.
She pulled up the corner of her mouth, trying to squeeze out a smile. "What the heck is going on, Matthew? I don't believe that Rainee planned all this juwt to ruin me. The physical examination report is there, and no one would joke about their chastity."
Matthew's brows furrowed slightly.
After a while, he became calmer. "No matter what it is, you should try to rest. Don't think about anything. Have a good sleep first."
Selina's tone was still bitter. "How could I still have the mood to sleep when something like this has happened?"
"Of course, you have to." Matthew's tone was soft. "Even if something big actually happened, I would be here. I only want you to be in a good mood all the time."
Selina was surprised.
After a while, her eyes were suddenly misty. "Matthew, you're totally different than you were this morning."
It was clear that he had been suspecting her during the day, and he'd treated her indifferently, but now he had completely changed.
Matthew embraced Selina again. "Forget about who I was this morning. It's my fault, Selina."
