"Did she say anything to you? Did you serve her anything? It must have been an enjoyable dinner," Selina continued on.
"Selina, it was just a normal dinner," Matthew started to look uncomfortable.
"A normal dinner?" Selina raised her voice, "I don't believe that Saoirse wouls just have a 'normal dinner' with you."
"Selina, why won't you trust me?" Matthew raised his voice as well.
Selina bit her lips, her eyes suddenly reddened.
Matthew felt as if something had pierced his heart.
He pulled over the car and lifted Selina's face.
His eyes were filled with guilt, pain, and sadness, "Selina, I shouldn't have said that just now. I'm the one who neglected your feelings, it's all my fault," he apologized to her.
Selina's tears started to stream down her face.
She knew that she was just trying to pick a fight.
Matthew had informed her when he went out to dinner with Saoirse, even when he didn't need to do so, he had nothing to hide from her.
However, even though she knew that, she still couldn't control her emotions.
She had tried to suppress her feelings for too long, and she needed to vent.
Anything could set her off.
Matthew having dinner with Saoirse was the trigger.
When he saw her tears, Matthew's heart ached for her.
His lips found its way to her face, kissing away her tears.
He wrapped Selina into a tight embrace.
His warm temperature was a comfort to her.
Selina tried to push Matthew away but to no avail. In the end, she just surrendered and leaned into his embrace.
She felt like she was freezing and Matthew was her only warmth; it was a warmth she was desperate for.
"Matthew, I couldn't control myself, I lost my temper," Selina mumbled, "I was unreasonable," she added.
"You were not unreasonable," Matthew's voice was hoarse, "Selina, you can vent your anger at me, don't keep it in, I can take it,"
Selina just shook her head, "I'm not angry anymore, I just want you to hold me," she said.
Time passed, it was soon late at night.
"Selina, let's drive home first, I'll continue to hold you when we reach," Matthew sounded out.
"No, I want you to hold me like this," she breathed out.
Matthew immediately called the driver.
He asked the driver to pick them up.
After the driver arrived, Matthew carried Selina to the other car.
He kept Selina in his embrace throughout the ride.
Even though the driver was with them, Selina still did not push Matthew away.
She really felt as if she was freezing.
She needed the warmth.
After they arrived at the Perry family's villa, Matthew got out of the car with Selina in his arms.
He came across Erine in the living room.
When Erine saw Matthew carrying Selina, she quickly moved aside.
She smiled internally.
"Mr. William and Miss Whitlock really have a good relationship, they are like conjoined twins," Erine thought.
That night, Selina fell into a deep sleep in Matthew's arms.
His warmth made her feel at ease.
The next morning, Matthew wanted to stay at home and keep Selina company, but she refused.
"You'd better just go to the company as usual. I'll still overthink even if you're here with me," Selina said bitterly, "Maybe it will be better if you're not here," she added.
"Call me if anything happens then," he finally said after a moment of hesitation.
"Okay," Selina replied, "I might head home later to see my nephew, maybe that will cheer me up."
It was around 10 o'clock in the morning when Selina asked the driver to send her to the Whitlock family villa.
