Natalie said persuasively, "Mom, it's different now. Their relationship is genuine now, unlike before. You can rest assured about this."
"Genuine?!" Cecilia disagreed with Natalie's words, "I believe Matthew is sincere toward Selina, but it's impossible that Selina's feelings for him are real."
"Mom, why is it impossible? I think it's possible."
Cecilia had just finished cutting a mango.
Once again, her eyes fell on Natalie's face. "Natalie, if I asked you to separate from Tobias and fall in love with another man, could you do that?"
Natalie did not hesitate at all. "Of course not."
She'd only love Tobias in this lifetime. It was impossible for any other man to enter her heart.
"That's it!" Cecilia took another watermelon and cut it. "Selina is the same. It would be impossible for her to fall in love with another man. You know her past."
Natalie's breathing became heavy.
She knew what Cecilia meant.
Cecilia still firmly believed that Selina was in love with Dylan and that no one else could enter her heart except him.
"Mom, feelings change. Selina did adore Dylan, but she doesn't anymore. She likes Matthew."
"Would your affection for Tobias change?"
Natalie was speechless.
She did not know how to explain further.
In the living room, Selina asked, "Matthew, what do you think Natalie and my mother are talking about in the kitchen?"
"Probably about us."
Selina's eyes widened. "About us? What about us?"
"Madam Lawson doesn't trust us. Natalie is probably speaking for us."
Selina became anxious.
After the conversation with Cecilia just now, she could tell that Cecilia did not trust them. Otherwise, why would she have asked them to delay their marriage?
It seemed that the previous arrangement for their wedding to be held at the end of the month was just to delay their union!
"Then what should we do?" Selina looked at Matthew with a sad expression.
"It's okay. Time will reveal our true intentions,"
Matthew assured.
There was no solution for now.
Some of Cecilia's thoughts had been deeply rooted in her heart. It was definitely not something that could be changed in a day or two. At this time, they could only use time to prove their sincerity.
Selina sighed, "Well, I guess that's the only way."
As she spoke, Cecilia and Natalie walked out.
Cecilia put the plate of fruits on the table and urged, "Come on, let's eat the fruits."
Natalie sat down helplessly.
She had been trying to persuade Cecilia in the kitchen earlier, but she was completely helpless. Cecilia was too determined.
Moreover, since Cecilia had dragged Tobias into it, Natalie could do nothing about it.
Matthew took a slice of watermelon and gave it to Selina. "This one is the sweetest."
Selina took a bite, and it was indeed very sweet.
Her eyes lit up. "You're good at picking watermelons. Each time, you pick the sweetest."
Then, she raised the watermelon to Matthew's lips. "Have a taste."
Matthew cooperated and took a bite.
Selina's eyes were all smiles.
In fact, she had done it on purpose to show off their loving relationship in front of Cecilia so that Cecilia could believe them.
However, when she saw them being affectionate with each other, Cecilia became even more worried.
She kept feeling that all this was just an act.
