Cecilia and Selina spent the whole afternoon with Norwell in the nursery room.
Selina was puzzled by Cecilia's change of attitude. Just a day before, Cecilia had seemed to have a lot on her mind.
However, Cecilia had not once brought up Matthew with her.
Selina was happy with Cecilia's change.
When she first came to the Whitlock family villa, she had just been forcing a smile. However, when she saw Cecilia's change of attitude, her smile became real.
While Cecilia and Selina were playing with Norwell in the nursery room, Tobias had also called Natalie to inform her that the news had been removed.
"When I arrived there, Matthew had already handled it," Tobias said.
Natalie breathed out a sigh of relief.
"Selina is still not aware of this, right?" Tobias asked.
"Yes, she doesn't know yet, Mom is trying to keep her occupied," Natalie sighed.
"That's good to hear. We are also looking for someone to delete the reposts on the Internet. Let's just hope that Selina doesn't see any of those comments," Tobias breathed out.
Selina suddenly received a call from Matthew.
His tone and the whole conversation was kind of weird.
He just talked about unimportant things.
"Matthew, what do you want to say!" Selina was exasperated.
"It's nothing," Matthew just said, "It's just that I missed you."
Selina warmed at his words.
She mumbled a soft response.
After a pause, she said, "Don't worry about me, I'm with Mom now. Just focus on your work."
"Then I'll come to pick you up after work," Matthew just answered.
"All right," she agreed.
After Selina hung up the phone, she went back to the room. Cecilia's expression was guarded, "What's the matter Selina, who called you?" Cecilia asked.
Selina held in a breath.
"It was Matthew," she confessed.
Cecilia narrowed her eyes and asked, "What did he say?"
Selina just shook her head, "Nothing, he just wanted to know if I was okay."
Cecilia relaxed, "That's good."
Selina felt that something was up with Cecilia.
"Mom, is something wrong?" she probed.
"Nothing's wrong. Let's have dinner at home tonight," Cecilia avoided her question.
Selina hesitated for a moment.
Matthew was coming to pick her up. She wasn't sure if Cecilia was willing to let her bring Matthew home for dinner.
Selina could only reply, "It's fine, Mom. I have to go back to the Perry family home later."
"Stay home for dinner, you can bring Matthew along," Cecilia said.
Selina couldn't believe her ears, "Mom, you are willing to let Matthew come over for dinner?" she repeated again.
Cecilia was silent for a moment.
"Just bring him here," she just said.
She had something to say to Matthew.
Around six o'clock in the evening, Matthew arrived at the Whitlock family home.
He apologized to Cecilia.
Cecilia had a complicated expression, "Matthew, let's drop the formalities. I'll cut some fruit for everyone, come help me in the kitchen," she motioned to Matthew.
Everyone knew that it was just an excuse to speak with Matthew privately.
Selina was a little nervous.
She stood up.
Natalie took her hand, "Selina, let Mom speak with Matthew," Natalie tried to placate her.
Selina glanced at the kitchen uneasily.
