Rainee thought for a moment. "I think it's been many years. When I first met you, I was still a junior high school student."
After saying that, Rainee made a gesture. "Such a young junior high school student."
"Rainee, in my heart, you've always been like a pure and innocent little girl, just like you were back then. You were innocent then, but are you still innocent now?" His words were a question, not a matter of certainty.
Rainee's heart jolted.
What did Matthew mean by that? Did he suspect her?
Rainee answered in a dry tone, "Matthew, I don't understand what you mean."
Matthew's eyes were filled with emotions. "Rainee, tell me the truth."
Between Selina and Rainee, one of them must be lying.
He believed in Selina.
That meant Rainee was lying.
Before investigating, he still hoped that he could hear the truth from Rainee herself.
Rainee bit her lip tightly.
Her lips were a little pale.
After a while, Rainee opened her mouth. "Matthew, it's Selina. It's her who did it. Why won't you believe me?"
Matthew did not answer.
His eyes were as dark as ink, as if they had sealed off all emotions.
After a while, Matthew stood up.
Rainee was shocked.
She thought that Matthew was leaving.
She was about to open her mouth, but Matthew spoke first, "Rainee, I'm going to peel an apple for you."
Rainee let out a sigh of relief.
Her eyes were gleaming.
Since Matthew was peeling an apple for her, did it mean that he believed in her?
After a while, Matthew came over with an apple.
Rainee looked at Matthew, "Matthew, can you cut it into smaller pieces and feed them to me? I don't like to eat such big pieces."
She looked expectantly at Matthew.
Matthew answered in a low voice, "Okay."
The corners of Rainee's lips curled up.
Ten minutes later, Matthew sat beside Rainee's bed feeding her the apple slowly.
Every time Rainee took a bite, she would look at Matthew, and then her eyes sparkled with happiness.
Her Matthew had personally fed her an apple.
"Rainee." Matthew said.
"Matthew, what's the matter?"
"This might be the last time I'll personally feed you an apple," Matthew continued.
Rainee was shocked.
The apple in her mouth was stuck in her throat, and her voice became a little muffled, "Why, Matthew?"
"Be careful. Don't choke," Matthew reminded.
Only then did Rainee swallow the apple in her mouth.
Matthew fed a small piece of apple to Rainee. "Let's eat and talk about it."
Rainee suppressed the shock in her heart and continued to eat the apple that Matthew fed her.
However, the mood at the moment was completely different from what it had been just now.
